Obama trounced McCain in landslide - Canada
'Democrat Barack Obama would crush Republican John McCain in the U.S. presidential race by an almost four-to-one margin - 56 per cent to 15 - if it were up to Canadians.

That's the conclusion of a new Canadian Press-Harris-Decima poll that, for the first time, gauges Canadian opinion on a head-to-head contest between the Republican candidate and the presumptive Democratic nominee.

The same survey suggests Canadians consider the current occupant of the White House, George W. Bush, among the worst presidents ever - if not the worst.

Forty-two per cent of respondents called Bush one of the worst presidents in U.S. history, 23 per cent said he was the absolute worst.

Only four per cent said he was among the better ones, and less than one per cent called Bush the best ever.

Pollster Bruce Anderson says the survey results are surprising even in a country that traditionally favours Democrats.

"While Canadians generally tilt more towards the Democratic Party than the Republican Party, this degree of disaffection is quite remarkable," said the head of Harris-Decima.'

5. Well that's Canada for you! If we followed Canada's lead in all things
We wouldn't be triumphing in glorious battle across 8 or 9 timezones right now.
Hell, we'd be stuck with subsidized universal healthcare! You know what that really is? Socialist Medicine. That's right, but they don't like to call it that. Stick out your tongue and say Ché.
