For all of you out there who wished that Dennis Kucinich or Mike Gravel could have won the democratic nomination... you might be interested in watching the Canadian election which is also taking place this autumn. Here is an interview with Stéphane Dion who is the leader of Canada's liberal party, and is in a position to ascend to the office of Prime Minister up there if his party wins enough seats in the legislature this autumn. Oddly enough Canadians seem to not understand the gem of a person who they have in Dion. The polls currently seem to favor the conservative party, led by a gentleman by the name of Stephen Harper, who is a classic mild mannered conservative who you might otherwise meet in the hardware store down the street.
