    From the page: "10 Reasons Canadian Elections are Better than Your Elections Much as it pains me to bring up my secret shame yet again, events of the day have forced my hand.

What I wanted to do here is explain some of the differences between the Canadian and American electoral process, and to helpfully highlight some of the ways ours is so much vastly superior to yours. "
