Canadians & Politics

Today,in the corner of Bloor and Yonge, there was a table set up with a poster hanging from it that read “Hitler with a smile”, which was basically Obama’s picture with a Hitler-liked mustache. They were giving out brochures. I really didn't bother to go to talk to the people at that table as I was coming back from a work meeting and was too tired.
I don’t wanna get into whether I agree with such comparison or not. But what amazed me was that I see Canadians care more about American politics that politics in their homeland. I have never seen people set up a table in middle of Toronto criticizing Stephan Harper or any other government official.
Yes, whatever happens in US effects us directly. But so does our own governments. I’m planning to vote on elections from now on. What’s the point of having a democracy if you don’t use it?
