A lot of us are smart enough but unfortunately Harper and the Conservatives are not. And apparantly most Liberals are sheep (or enough of them atleast). So its not going too good up here at the moment. I wouldnt mind so much if our gov was copying what the current US gov is doing now (not that that's particularly good either) but we're actually copying them from 25 years ago! and after theyve already found out what they did doesnt work! so wtf indeed.
