Oh, Canada!

With the U.S. bordering Canada to the north, you'd think there would be more coverage in the U.S. media of the current crisis stemming from the fact that just as Parliament is preparing to give a "no confidence" vote to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Harper has managed to dissolve Parliament with the help of the Governor-General (who is the Canadian representative of Queen Elizabeth II, technically the Canadian head of state).


One of the few American shows to tackle the current crisis happening in Canada is The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and, boy, did that show did a good job of explaining the situation for U.S. audiences while making it totally hilarious at the same time.
