Now don't be afraid to tell us what you really think...!
Peter Keohane 11/14/2000 12:35 PM To: Tana Jones/HOU/ECT@ECT, Jon Chapman/LON/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: Nice VP and possibly Pres. When I look at Al Gore I continue to be amazed that one, let alone 50 million, Americans voted for him. Both Clinton's and Gore's continued shamelessness, and disregard for doing the right and decent thing, is only slightly less amazing than the American people (or at least half of them) continuing to find reasons to support them. My only, yet substantive, vested interest in the outcome is that we are inundated with US T.V. and I can't bear the thought of looking at Gore (and God forbid Hillary) for the next four years. If they don't settle this Florida thing, I am going to have it have my cable disconnected. We vote in our federal election on November 27th. We will not have any such problems however - not because we are any better than anyone (in fact, I am not entirely confident that most of my fellow Canadians will understand, or have ever have understood, the ballot or voted for who they thought they were voting for) - but rather because of the political system which Jon's ancestors were so kind to bestow upon us, which I refer to as "parliamentary dictatorship''. (Sorry Tana if you are a Democrat, but that is the independent middle of the road - yeah right - view of a Canadian observer. Jon, I cannot, however, apologize for the political ruin which your system of Government has brought upon us, other to acknowledge that the problem my not be the system but rather our screwed up regionalization of your unified parliamentary system into 11 separate parliamentary systems - and I suppose that could be construed as an apology of sorts, except, for the record, I will never apologize to you for anything until you make a public, i.e. to Tana and me by e-mail, confession of your sins on San Felipe. For that matter, you are as bad as Clinton and Gore.) Peter.
