Mike's Top Five List
Thursday, 02 October 2008 05:08
Mike's top five differences between the US debate and the Canadian debate.

#5. US debate: two podiums. Canadian debate: five stools.

#4. US debate: Hockey mom vs. one bloated, self serving politician. Canadian debate: A separatist, an environmentalist, a socialist, a liberal and a prime minister. I think OURS sounds more like the beginning of a long joke..

#3. In US: the debate interrupts the usual entertaining TV line up. In Canada: the debate interrupts Coronation Street and The Antiques Roadshow.

#2. In the US: The economy and Iraq. In Canada: The economy and bad meat.

#1. Headline in Canada, “five leaders discuss issues of importance to the nation”. In the US, “Man bites pit bull”.
