Britain's Next Prime Minister? by SUPERJIM	Jan 19th, 2009 03:41:05 AM

this is the show's second season and they arent literally picking canada's next leader. its just a "who would make the better leader" type deal. the winners dont actually become prime minister, if they did well that first season winner would have taken over our current moron and he hasnt. and considering its a canadian show, if there's any money i doubt they win much so really, you dont actually become prime minister and get a probably lame prize....why even bother? my country is so awesome and unique in the way it copies its older brother. lol

Why this wouldn't work in the USA by Chaosinabox	Jan 19th, 2009 07:28:03 AM
Being a Canadian voter who has watched the Canadian version, here's why it won't work in the USA. The Canadian version is a 2-hour special in the form of a debate, with the former prime ministers being our panel posing questions. An American version would no doubt see all the contestants locked in a house for six weeks while they compete in challenges like "voter pandering" and "soundbite writing." And someone gets voted out or "loses their party nomination" or whatever at the end of every episode. All things considered, the show is pretty lame.

Canadian politicians fear voters by aleeminator	Jan 19th, 2009 07:46:48 AM
Honestly, a few years back there was a story about how former Prime Minister Joe Clark was spotted in a department store in his sweats with no security whatsoever. The position isn't really as glamorous as one thinks, plus you need to deal with the constant embarassment of knowing that your boss is the Queen of England.

by MikeTheSpike	Jan 19th, 2009 08:47:43 AM
I might also add that the very fact that we have a Queen and a GG (who, obviously, isn't in my good books at the moment) means that they can occupy the ceremonial place for the PM that a president might otherwise occupy in the States (you wouldn't see a PM taking a majestic trip by rail into Ottawa for his inauguration, nor would millions show up for it). This, of course, leaves room for the PMs to be a bit more mundane and they can do stuff like walk around in their sweatpants and be in very boring CBC specials that nobody will watch. It's not a terrible system. Consider what we know already about Obama's daughters, their schooling, their lunch menus, and that damned puppy (hell, the guy's not even sworn in yet). Compare that to what the average joe knows about Jean Chretien and his troubled son - the alcoholic, violent, convicted rapist. If a presidential child had done that, you'd never hear the end of it so long as you lived. So perhaps I prefer the low-key approach we take, even if the Queen has to get involved.
Just what every country needs. by gotilk	Jan 19th, 2009 09:06:03 AM
More over-moralizing bullshit.

Such as and the Iraqi children peace in god's hands and such as. For the first time I may be in agreement with religious nuts. It may just be "the end times" after all.

Through debate and challenges, the candidates are narrowed down to four who appear on CBC Television, where they engage in a heated debate on the issues facing Canada today. The audience votes and the winner receives $50,000 and a paid internship at Magna International, The Dominion Institute and the Canada-US Fulbright program. Second, third and fourth place winners also receive cash and internship prizes."

And more than one person on the show "Survivor" is still alive at the end of the series. (Although that could be an awesome twist: "The tribe has spoken." BANG!!) The Next Prime Minister is a glorified university debating contest. There's no guarantee the winner will be elected to anything.

Former PMs by Melnick666	Jan 19th, 2009 10:35:51 AM
No Browncoat, they don't have anything better to do. They don't have security either, because nobody cares what happens to them after they leave office. I think Mulroney is the only one gainfully employed, Chretien is probably cashing checks from some ceremonial position, and the others are complete no-hopers. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

having the top 10 candidates for the US President on an island and for 9 weeks, they g through various tests (intelligence, diplomatic, health, hmm cage match?) and at the end we all get the surviving candidate as our new President Elect. Yes..on one hand, it exposes us to the worst type of popularity-contest style politics..but on the other, it would be interesting to see someone like Mitt Romney fighting Hillary Clinton in a Thunderdome.

Canadian Politicians and TV by MathiasRoyal	Jan 19th, 2009 11:31:36 AM
Canadian Politicians have a pretty good relationship with television, in my opinion. Stephen Harper (our prime minister) is on the Rick Mercer Report (kind of like a Canadian "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" but with more sketches) a lot, and the same goes with all the leaders of the opposition party. One of our MP (member of parliament) went skinny dipping with Mercer on CBC. So it isn't that weird to see a politician on a silly show such as this. Especially on the CBC. However, do I think the show's a good idea? No. No I do not. It's stupid. Unlike the Rick Mercer Report, this one lacks all intelligence.
Why is the BBC buying this? by supertoyslast	Jan 19th, 2009 11:36:09 AM
ITV already tried something similar and people ended up voting for the candidate with extreme right-wing views.
They tried this once before by Chicken Grease	Jan 19th, 2009 11:46:32 AM
If I remember correctly it was a panel made up of former PMs Brian Mulroney, Kim Campbell, Joe Clark, and Paul Martin. It was hosted by Rick Mercer. They have young people at podiums taking questions from the PMs on different policy issues. I think it is a great idea to get the young folk involved in civics.

Any Canadian can tell you that apart from Hockey, there is nothing worth watching on CBC. It's the equivalent of PBS. According to a study done in 2003, CBC only holds 7% of Canadian viewership. AICN probably has more readers than CBC has viewers, so this story is the most attention this show is ever going to get.

CNPM can't even find candidates by tangcameo	Jan 19th, 2009 06:54:13 PM
If you check out theglobeandmail.com (the closest thing Canada has to the NYTimes and that's a stretch) there's a story about how the producers of the show haven't been able to find enough contestants so they've actually been calling the political parties, asking them to provide the show with young contestants even though they've tried to run politically in the past which was a major no-no rule of the show in the first place. And two of the PM's they hired for the first season didn't even make it through a full year as PM up here (lookin at you John Turner).
The CBC is like PBS or BBC just... by tangcameo	Jan 19th, 2009 07:01:13 PM
...without the money and clout or the talent or the popularity or the resources that PBS and BBC have. Plus Canada is full of people who spend their days hating the CBC and the Globe and Mail and ranting on and on about left-wing agendas when they wouldn't know a real agenda even when it's bit them in the arse (and what's with all the Canucks talking like old Brits here eh? hehe)
We've already had this for several decades... by br1947	Jan 19th, 2009 07:04:43 PM
Issues mean NOTHING. It's all about who's "cool" to support. It's been going on for decades but it's just glaringly apparent with Obama (Oprah, Obama Girls, etc). Google the clip from Howard Stern asking voters to identify Obama/McCain issues. It's honestly terrifying no matter which person you voted for. Still think voters should have to identify 3 simple yes/no issues before you vote is counted. Then of course the parties would find ways of screwing with that too.

Is it just me, or are they refusing to pull the trigger this season? The brave guard didn't get a bullet, Freckles didn't get a bullet, and the planes had a near hit. WTF? It's not that I have bloodlust or anything, but the gravitas of the show comes from believing people are in danger. I have yet to see any evidence that people are in danger. That said, if she ends up dying of suffocation I'll be happy that the writers showed some balls. BTW, the First Lady plotline sucks. After Sherry Palmer and Martha Logan (in S5, not 6), we expect better from our first ladies than this weepy 'oh my son is dead' crap. Plus the dude totally radiated traitor. sigh Concern is same as last week: the storytelling is there, but still not feeling it in my gut. AG dude was a dick, though, huh? I wanted Moss to pop him.

Yeah, it was WAY too obvious that the secret service guard was evil. BUT I am intrigued by the situation the FH is in, and want to see him do something spectacular and violent next week to get out of it.

I kinda like this idea for the USA...Better than the non-debatin by conspiracy	Jan 19th, 2009 10:33:56 PM
At least we might actually get to hear more than corporate approved, 20 sec, base pandering sound bites. As for the leader of the Free World being decided by 14yr old girls; considering most Americans can't find Afghanistan on a map or balance their checkbooks...what difference would it really make?

Chrth is absolutely right. by Cotton McKnight	Jan 19th, 2009 10:57:12 PM
The love interest of whatshisface is absolutely the mole. As soon as she said "I'm still thinking about last night", I knew. Who else could it be? Someone we haven't met yet? The FBI director is a dope, that guy is just a selfish jerk, and janeane garofolo is a fraidy cat. It has to be her. About the first husband, I agree. He needs to stop whining and do somthing for once. Taking down a secret service agent while you are experiencing paralysis should be interesting.

Yeah, you'd rather the CBC gave your tax dollars to some old crone who was asking millions beyond what the song was worth? Okay, sure...
Didn't the United States do this? by ccchhhrrriiisssm	Jan 19th, 2009 11:20:43 PM
The media did their best to elect Barack Obama. Isn't that right, Harry? The leftist media became Obama-pushers. How many times did Harry do what he could to promote Obama? He (like much of the media) became a crazy evangelist for the left! They were willing to overlook his general lack of qualifications or experience and do what they could to hump him in public while ignore Hillary and other credible candidates. We will see, in four years, if their pushing was worth it after all. My guess? They will still push him -- even if he is a disaster.

"Intelligence" was a CBC series. Sure, they killed it. But that was just because the USA Embassy threatened to nuke Vancouver.

re obama... by emeraldboy	Jan 20th, 2009 07:12:44 AM
I have noticed something. despite using this site to tell people in the us to go out and vote. Despite having previews about the debates and saying how much he admired obama. There has be no mention of obama since then. I wonder why?
two words bother me about obama.. by emeraldboy	Jan 20th, 2009 07:17:03 AM
constructed ambiguity. I could say the same for McCain. But obama is a man we think we know. and we dont know him at all. This obama age is the calm before the storm. because the age the follows will be the real nightmare. the palin age.

there are 40 million americans who have irish roots by emeraldboy	Jan 20th, 2009 07:52:50 AM
and if i was to tell the that Ireland is close to bankruptcy they would be shocked. all politicians the world over are in catch up mode. events are changing minute by minute. Politicians are scratching their heads baffled by what to do. Ireland went to the polls 2 years ago. Cowan gave ahearn his third term. Ahearn was pushed by cowan from office. cowan has said nothing about this. All the spin said that cowan was a great intellect and was a great leader. now irelands ecomony is hanging off a cliff. out leaders our dozingly standing around the place wondering what to do. Noboy has a clue. not the govt, not the opposition(who shout alot) nor the public sector unions who have warned the govt against pay cuts or pay freezes. Irelands Ecomonic credibility has hit the shredder. As americans look set to inaugarate barack obama. This day 90 years ago the first dail met. that lead to ireland getting its independence. Oh I would tell the 40 million irish americans about sean fitzpatrick blew apart the credibility of anglo irish bank. By taking 87 million euros worth of loans out of one bank and putting it into another and did this over and 8 year period and nobody batted an eyelid. so obama who has irish roots(moneygall or shinrone) will be basking in a blair like honeymoon period. While our leader has all but disaoeared Barack should not make the same mistake. dont blame economists(ahearn said that he didnt understand how some economist didnt commit sucide) and dont blame the media. come up with your hands up and say what the problem is and what youre going to about it. People will like him even more. that said Obama has 2 years and the clock starts ticking now....
emeraldboy... by KazamaSmokers	Jan 20th, 2009 08:08:46 AM
There's this thing called the internet, so thanks to RTE.IE and INDEPENDENT.IE and other sites, some of us Irish-Americans are well up to speed on the death of the Tiger. Those who are not are simply intellectually lazy.
Thats great... by emeraldboy	Jan 20th, 2009 09:03:22 AM
Thats some are up to speed. It doesnt make it any easier to see the way country is being run from ireland itself. I hope to god, that the cowan who gave bertie his third victory in a row, returns. to fucking lead the country. one of the opposition leaders who wants an election. was laughed at. On our version of Question time called Q and A. On the panel irish ecomonist Moore Mcdowell, minister for foreign affairs Michael Martin, a tax expert and an irish american laywer called Larry O donnell.
Devolving into "Idiocracy." by riskebiz	Jan 20th, 2009 10:01:45 AM
I guess that movie "Idiocracy" was right on the money. Pull up a toilet and slug down some "Brawndo: The Thirst Mutilator" and enjoy the show.
How come no one ever notices the irony by chrth	Jan 20th, 2009 11:32:23 AM
of invoking Idiocracy on a website devoted to absolutely useless mainstream things?
George W. Bush and Bill Clinton will team up to make movie... by Leafar the Lost	Jan 20th, 2009 12:29:03 PM
...called "George & Bill's Excellent Adventure". The two ex-presidents meet at a party, and during the event they sneak past their secret service agents and embark on an adventure...bullshit! George W. Bush has done such a bad job as president that I can't even joke about him. After 9/11 Bush could have united America, but instead he did everything he could to tear it apart. He invaded Iraq for no good reason, and refused to leave. He sent over 4,000 American soldiers to their deaths, just so he wouldn't look bad when no WMD's were found. George W. Bush is, in my opinion, not only the worse President of all time, but he is also the worse human being of all time. He isn't worth the time it is taking to write this...

True enough on Cherry, true enough. On that I think the CBC's being pragmatic, knowing that hockey is its big hit and to lose Cherry would be a severe blow beyond letting go of a silly little tune. And I, for one, don't mourn CTV's nabbing of the theme; they gave it a much better arrangement than the CBC's managed in decades.
