Hey, how about that debate tonight! Oh — you were talking about the one up in Canada, right? Because Canadians will go to the polls on October 19, and the leaders of the major parties are mixing it up in Vancouver even as we speak.
It seems that Stephen Harper is getting slammed from all sides on the economy and energy (as well he should). And that NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, in his first real nationwide introduction to the True North, is mopping the floor with him. “Mr. Harper," Mulcair says, "we really can’t afford four more years of you."
If this all seems a bit sudden, it's because the Canadian election was just called a few days ago. So unlike the passengers in the GOP clown car, the candidates in Vancouver had to be ready to debate on a dime. (And by the time all the Canadian votes are in, the American election will still have over a year to go. Goodness gracious!)
But fear not, narcissistic Americans: The Canadian Twitterverse has taken note of the clown car doings in Cleveland tonight. In the words of The Guardian's official debate watcher: "Fans, I’m hearing rumours of another clash taking place just south of the border in the great state of Ohio. Someone called 'Donald Trump' will apparently take the stage. I’ve never heard of him."
There must be plenty of clowns in the GOP who wish the same. We cats PURR.
