CHANGE FOR CANADIAN POLITICS

It's a shame to think that I know more about American politics than Canadian politics.  I'm sure this is the same for other Canadians.  This 2008 election seemed to blow by leaving a lot of Canadians unsure on who to vote for.  The American elections on the other hand was rammed down everyones throat. Anyone in America who says they don't know who to vote for is, well, living on another planet.  

The Canadian election campaigns are way to short and the American elections are too long.  We had one debate to go by and not much else.  The american elections had multiple debates and dozens of speeches explaining what they as a leader were about. In Canada it's like lets get this thing done because nobody cares anyways!  

Canadian politics needs to be taken more seriously and thats that. People need to demand more coverage and start taking an interest in their country.  How can anyone say they're are not interested in politics when your whole life revolves around it?  Do you have a mortgage? Financing a car?  Have a family? Use health care?  Or plan on using any of these in the future? Then you may be a part of a society and where their are people or living creatures there is politics.
