Bert - Yes, we DO have a party system in Canada...and it sucks! It's the main thing standing in the way of responsible and truly representative democracy in my country. But it's still not half as bad as what you've got with the 2 Mega-parties in the USA.

You'd have to live up here for a bit to appreciate the oddities and intricacies of Canadian multi-party politics (Conservatives, Liberals, New Democrats, Greens, and Bloc Quebecois). It's downright silly at times...but it could be a whole lot worse. ;-D Our presently governing Conservative party under Stephen Harper is just a gutless corporate cipher that does anything the USA wants it to...providing it doesn't utterly outrage the Canadian public to a point that would become dangerous to Mr Harper.
