So speaking of Canadian politics i heard about the uproar over the world "Fart".
It's interesting the stuff that gets notice from abroad. I've been to Question Period in Parliament (which I've noticed are your Parliament Buildings, by the way. You have good taste) and it's more than a bit of a mess. There are much bigger and more serious political issues that come to light every day here, but I guess shootings in Toronto and murders of Aboriginal women don't reach US news.
In short, if it's made your news it must be REALLY unique. You may have heard about Trudeau's "elbowgate" incident, or the Toronto crossbow murder spree, or that Satirist 'newscast' about the non-existent Calgary aquarium . . . but it's only really crazy stuff that ever gets to the news outside Canada.
