If you're a Canadian, perhaps you've noticed the recent spate of news stories about how few people seem to be paying much attention to the current election. Pundits and analysts are busy yapping about why Canadians are not following the election with much enthusiasm.

It doesn't take a political scientist to figure out why Canadians aren't paying attention; we don't give a shit! And why don't we give a shit? Because we're bored. And why are we bored? Because we know this is a two-party race, and that after a year of watching the Conservatives try to make the Liberals look stupid, and the Liberals trying to defend themselves and keep their heads above water, we've heard it all. The truth is -no matter who is in power- those in charge will probably abuse their authority, and those who are not are too busy trying to expose them to actually contribute anything productive to the political landscape.
