    According to recent surveys if Canadians could vote in the American election 65% would vote for Obama, 9% would vote for Mitt and 27% would vote for neither or a third party.

    If you take out the 27% Vote then the numbers are overwhelming. 88% of Canadians overall would vote for Obama, and only 12 % for Mitt and 99% of the people in Quebec would vote for Obama which is just insane.

    Also if Canada was a state then based on it's population and how they are divided up in America it would get 58 electoral votes. Meaning that Obama could lose just about every swing state in November and still win the election if he won Canada.

    Anyway just a little bit of interesting information I thought I would share with everyone.

    Now I just have to find a way to make the US invade Canada and we can get rid of those damn Republicans forever...
    EDIT: I'm not really American, but "we" as in the world.

    I concur. If only we had actually annexed Canada in the War of 1812, instead of it being a draw.

    Well, if Canada was annexed it would just be a territory for a while, and when it became a state it would most likely be divided into its territories, so... free Quebec.

    Fucking Sandro.

    Even if that's true, Obama beats Mitt in all provinces so he would still win all the votes.

    Some reasons why Americans (and Canadians) shouldn't vote for Obama:

    Since taking office Obama has:

    • Signed the NDAA - an indefinite detention bill - into law.
    • Placed Sanctions on the Iran people that have done little to deter Ahmadinejad and will likely lead to war.
    • Increased the TSA’s budget and allowed the scope of their authority to increase
    • Gave Blackwater a quarter of a billion dollars.
    • Approved of a more draconian Patriot Act.
    • Assassinated three American Citizens.
    • Protected Bush officials from charges relating to torture.
    • Waged war on Libya without congressional approval.
    • Waives health care coverage for employees of 29 companies including McDonald's.
    • Deported record number of immigrants.
    • Continued and escalated a covert, drone war in Yemen.
    • Takes the hardest stance in American history against government whistle blowers.
    • Escalated the proxy war in Somalia.
    • Pushes harder for warrantless wire taps than Bush did.
    • Escalated the CIA drone war in Pakistan.
    • Promises more transparent government then denies more FOIA request than Bush.
    • Gives BP and other big oil companies exemption from EPA laws.
    • Will maintain a presence in Iraq even after "ending" war.
    • Sharply escalated the war in Afghanistan.
    • Secretly made deal to kill health care public option while secretly meeting with health care executives and provided an exemption for abortion.
    • Secretly deployed US special forces to 75 countries.
    • Sold $30 billion of weapons to the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia.
    • Signed an agreement for 7 military bases in Colombia
    • Appoints multiple lobbyist while signing an executive order limiting this practice. This included lobbyist from Goldman Sachs , Raytheon and Monsanto.

    I don't know how the Canadian Political System works in great detail, but you guys do have a Conservative Prime Minister don't you? So if the opposition to Mitt Romney more due to the fact he is Mitt Romney or because he is a Republican?

    Congrates.

    You mean this music?


    Also, isn't there a problem in that people who vote for something, but have no direct stake in it, tend to just vote in a nonsensical fasion?

    Our conservative is your Democrats. We civlized people of the north have universal health care and are not worked up by ra ra nationalist speechs, and thus republican advertising is generally worthless for us.

    We would never have to deal with another republican president for a very long time, America can get stuff faster, and the best part the conservative rhetoric and ideals would not matter that much any more. More polititions will be to busy sucking canadian d**k instead of southern d**k.

    It seems like nothing more than Canadians tempting the US to annex them.

    You'd be next.
