For anyone who is honestly interested in politics... here is a great resource. It's the Canadian equivalent of the CSPAN channel we have in the Usa.
This is called CPAC - and you can watch the proceedings of the federal government in Ottawa 24 hours a day.
It's incredibly refreshing to see how learned, and conscientious the government in Canada is when you compare them to the fools in Washington DC.
Remember, that Canada is a bilingual country from its core - with a big portion of the country - Quebec - speaking french as their main language. So all proceedings in parliament need to be translated in real time between the two languages. Usually parliamentarians will talk in the language they are most comfortable with. I think this kind of bilingualism is really good for the social dynamic in a government. Always to have multiculturalism front and center before your eyes is a really good thing for folks in government to think about.
You can also pull the broadcast at any time, directly into windows media player, by cutting and pasting this into the "Open url" box: http://www.cpac.ca/asx/cpac1eh.asx
