   Fellow Americans, if you suddenly have opinions about the Canadian political system, when you never have before, maybe it's a good idea to interrogate why that is, and where those opinions are coming from.

     @evan Americans, by all meams, do learn about the Canadian political system. It has value in its own right, but you'll even understand your own government better by understanding how others do things differently.

     @mpjgregoire Sure. But if the first thing you ever learn about the Canadian political system is that Mark Carney is the prime minister even though he's never stood for election, you're starting in the wrong spot, and you might want to wonder why.

     @evan @mpjgregoire the King never stood for election, but we have an old deal where the crown let's us run the show most of the time in exchange for not killing them and their family. It's all explained in that scene in the Holy Grail.
