“This is shameful, but I don’t even watch debates for Prime Minister. At least not with a tub of popcorn. Born and raised here, and I would struggle to provide a lot of detail on our system of government.”

I know how many seats are needed for a majority in the house; I know at least the first 5 levels of succession; I can explain (though not understand) the electoral college; I can tell you which district is the key to Wisconsin or how Texas could flip this year. I listen to US political podcasts (liberal of course), yet couldn’t name a single Canadian political podcast, if there is one.
And this would apply to the majority of people I know. So yes, far as I’m concerned, it’s true.”
