This is another area in which we're similar -- I love watching Canadian politics, even though I no longer have a direct stake in it. It's a wonder the Liberals have been able to hang on so long despite the obvious decadence and corruption -- in any party-oriented system, there has to be some regular turnover to keep the parties honest, and unacceptable aspects of each of the alternatives to the Liberals have kept them from being turfed out. Despite my brush with Jack Layton (who I'm sure was cruising me at TO City Hall during Convention), the NDP would be a disaster as idealists crash into reality, while the PC has elements easily painted as right-wing and dengerous, and of course the PQ wants to break up the country (when they're not taking bribes for relenting.)
