[Spoilers] Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister

[Chris Vogel]

Messy notes, hopefully in chronological order, from the 2008 episode of Canada’s Next Great Prime Minister:<ol type='1'><li>How does the audience laugh at Rick Mercer while he’s backstage?</li><li>I love the music. I’ve been playing the intro over and over.</li><li>I feel sorry for Rahim, even though he’s my least favorite too.</li><li>It must take a lot of self-control to say “post-secondary education” instead of “university” – even when you’re talking about your own life and can therefore be more specific.</li><li>I like how Pam puts the emphasis on males in “affluent, white males.”</li><li>Alika on affirmative action: “Equal treatment of unequal people is inequality.”</li><li>“Magic voting machines”?</li><li>Tony from Vancouver has a nice accent.</li><li>Is Alika seriously willing to tear the country apart to satisfy a 900-vote majority in Quebec?</li><li>Kevin may be cute, but his final plea is pretty bad: “Pam [a fellow contestant] taught me that education is the key to our future.”</li><li>In case you missed it, Compas Research (the national survey research firm) does the polls.</li><li>I loved Alika even after the Quebec thing, but why didn’t Pam win? She dissed US health care and the war in Iraq!</li></ol>Edit: Typos.
