That's the real difference. Canadians get fed up with the nonsense and would tar and feather all candidates if the campaign dragged on and on and on.

(Or is it that Canadians have a short attention span? Don't answer that.)

In any case, since the soap operas on TV have got so bad, and there are no good hoss operas any more, Canadians switch on CNN and their political drivelers for a little light entertainment.
(Like hell, if there isn't a hockey game, they go to the bar and hoist a few)
