You know a country's divided when:
- a considerable percentage of politicians don't vote for their own party
- only one percent of the Independant party vote for the Independent party
- there's no freak state solidarity (Alaska and Hawaii have let me down D:)
- the division spreads to the nation above (I swear we follow the election almost as much as you do)
But for all you democrats out there, take heart! There is a reasonable solution for all you who wish to escape a flailing economy and national debt!
Canada Now Accepting: Isn't It About Time?
Tired of a growing national debt, debilitating wars, and a president that resembles a monkey? Tired having your pocket picked for the sake of lower taxes for the rich? Looking to escape the dreaded 'four more years' chant of the republicans?
IMMIGRATE TO CANADA TODAY!

-Better tasting beer

-High regard for its citizens internationally
-The coolest looking money in the world, including the world's first coloured coins ever in circulation

-Best damn hockey in the world, even at the non-locked out provincial level
-Nightly news programs with less bias, and no damn marquee at the bottom
-Less rap, and no Brittney Spears, Jessica Simpson, or Hilary Duff (you still have to put up with Lindsay Lohan and Avril Lavigne, but considering the alternatives..)
-Diverse multicultural acceptance
-Our flag is easier to draw
-Embraces its roots instead of mocks them
-A parliamentary system that is more democratic than a presidency, with easier methods of replacing a failing government
-And so much more!
Canada: We may be bland, but at least we're not under attack.
