Ricky would make a good one, but Julian and Bubbles would need to be his close advisers in the PMO :blotto:

IMO, I don't think the topic should be locked. It's posted under radio chatter, why not have a little fun. If you want a serious poll, make one yourself.

Rick Mercer - Jim and Mike are too goofy and Cherry's a bit too unstable. Mercer's funny, politically savvy, and he's got nuance.

Was this originally posted under "Politics" or something?

Julian is smarter than Ricky, so give it to Julian. Bubbles could be GG.
Endeavour to bring out the fighting qualities of your subordinates and continue to develop them in yourself. This should be your constant consideration since, in your position as a leader; it is your business to inspire enthusiasm and the fighting ability.

Ann Coulter, but she would have to immigrate first.  Google her name, then get your eyes opened up.

I could not bring up the link on this machine, I will try again tomorrow.  Is she being hard on us?  Some one should - we are NOT living up to our potential, except as freeloaders.

Not a friggin' chance would I want Ann Coulter as PM, with her saying we're lucky we're allowed to exist on the same continent as the US. I gotta say out of the list of possible choices, Rick Mercer for PM!

I thought this was serious too!

Personally I can't believe those that have given Rick Mercer more votes than the Sour Grapes himself.  What are you thinking..Tisk Tisk Tisk..Unstable yes, but what politicain is stable(say one thing do another).  Sour Grapes, he would just do it.  Not "just" do it,  but give a play by play as Ron Mclean color commentated every motive for cuts and grants.  It would be interesting to see how CBC would like him now (ahem hehehe)....Also, Seeing that the house of parliament is somewhat oval shaped, he would feel right at home! Maybe have a half time show at intermissions/recesses during heated discussions.  Good on ya Don Cherry yous da man! He's got my vote!

But also for other things he does for the community aswell.

Cheers!!

What?? Yes, lets have an American HACK political extremist considered by even her colleagues to be little more than a reactionary attention wh-re who makes derrogitory remarks about Canada because it contains a French speaking population as our PM. She's an ignorant bigot with about as deep an understanding of Canada as I have of Flemish Nazi lesbians.

Lets clone a dead former Prime Minister like Macdonald, W.L Mackenzie King or Pearson (or any other) use something that has been proven to work :blotto:

Flemish Nazi lesbians.

Now that is something I would like to see.

Ann Couter is a bag - she is no different then Michael Moore.

Actually, she would probably fit well into the PM role - just as PM PM remembered the Canadian landing at Norway, she will "get back to us" about the Canadian involvment in the Vietnam War.... ::)

Shaina :o

umm unless you have not been following Shaina is no longer Canadian. she now has swiss citizenship and she lives there.



also i think that don cherry would be an excellent choice. he is not afraid to speak his mind. also on every hockey night in Canada that is closeest to remembrance day he gives a speech and really acknowledges the military. in my opinion that is what we need in a leader.

my 2nd choice would be rick mercer. he is hilarious in a patriotic way. i love show on this hour has 22 minutes called talking to Americans.

ahh yes..of course. Just for that Mercer would come second to Cherry as the "President" of Canada.   As far as they know he probably already is!

Shania. The first thing that comes to mind is "we're having a party, a party for two". She'll always be a Canadian. Got my vote but on a whole different level.

Watch Ann Coulter argue vehemently with a CBC interviewer that Canada participated in the Vietnam War  ;D

http://www.collegehumor.com/?movie_id=120992


Rick Mercer is the choice of the group listed. Cherry is a raving  nut whose philosphy has helped destroy hockey.

Besides being hysterically funny, which politics could use, Mercer seems to have a brain in his head and actually care about many issues.

How about William Shatner, He single handedly saved the Universe and his ship many times, perhaps he could save this "sinking ship" of state we have ;D

As for GG... Shania! Or Elisha Cuthbert... mmmmm

" She's an ignorant bigot with about as deep an understanding of Canada as I have of Flemish Nazi lesbians. "

I don't think our present crew understand Canada all that well either.  I think Ann Coulter could be TAUGHT about Canada, which is more than I can say about the million or so hyphenated-Canadians ghettoized in our major cities who speak neither French nor English but have learned only one thing about Canada - "Vote early - Vote often" (Al Capone).

But since we are ruling out furriners  (Coulter, Hilton (yechhh!), Twain), lets try some Canadians.

How about the present Minister of Veterans Affairs?
