We're picking a party leader in Canada too.

So why don't I care? I try to care, I really do. For example, I started reading Belinda Stronach's manifesto in the Post the other day. Unfortunately, I quickly fell asleep and wound up with a face full of oatmeal. It was the standard litany of complaints of the Canadian soft right mixed with plenty of reassurances that she wouldn't do anything drastic. Zzzzzz. Stephen Harper can't seem to excite me either. What I've read by him in the past sounds good, but he doesn't seem to be able to generate any heat. And if he keeps getting photographed wearing those golf shirts it's unlikely he ever will. There's some other guy in the running as well but I've been unable to work up the tiny bit of interest required to determine what his name is.

Jackson Murphy has a good long post on what's going on in the Conservative leadership race. He suffers through all this stuff so you don't have to.
