Your age? 21

Gender? Female

Occupation? Receptionist

and that's as far as I got.......I know realise I know basically nothing about Canada. Probably because the decisions made in their parliament do not affect us in Australia as they do when decisions are made in American govt.

Where's Canada again?
hehe
I'm a typical ignorant egotistical american. I go to starbucks for coffee and if I hear about it there, I may know what's going on in the world. Usually we're looking at the ladies, and if there was a conversation about canada's political system I prolly missed it. I'm not a huge fan of our system, not enough Jesse Venturas for me. I think Ron Jeremy should run for office. When it comes to a p$$ng contest, he'd win.
