...And Just in Time for Canada Day


By Baxter

A new poll conducted for The Globe & Mail and CTV reveals that Canadians like Barack Obama more than they like their own political leaders.

Twenty-six percent of respondents named Senator Obama as the politician they most admire, followed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at 21 percent. Third place belongs to Hillary Rodham Clinton, with 16 percent. Senator Clinton is followed in the poll by the leaders of Canada's opposition parties.

(Senator McCain brings up the rear at 3 percent. Fat lot of good that recent campaign trip to Ottawa did!)

Oh, and 82 percent of Canadians oppose the war in Iraq. We cats PURR affectionately in their direction. Happy Canada Day!
