I need this thread to survive. I really want to know about Martin and about the other candidates. I like Jack Layton, but don't know enough about him.

I think its funny, too, that Americans aren't the least bit concerned about Canadian politics. I wonder if they realize how strong Martin is. If he wins and Bushes loses, Canada may well emerge with a stronger economy. Martin will pay lip service to whoever the U.S. president might be, but look out when it comes to trade.
