A new poll suggests Canadians would prefer to vote for Barack Obama rather cast a ballot for their own political leaders, while 45 per cent of Americans envy Canada's health care system.

The bi-national survey, conducted by the Strategic Counsel for CTV and The Globe and Mail, showed that here in Canada, Obama was more admired than Prime Minister Stephen Harper -- or any other national leader.

"Some would read (the results) as an indictment of our political leaders," the Strategic Counsel's Peter Donolo told CTV.ca. "Others would say it's an acknowledgement of the phenomenal nature of Obama's appeal. He really is a prototype of his own; he's broken the mold."

Maybe we can make a trade. And the libs can all carry out their promises to move to Canada, and we’ll all live happily ever after.

Can we trade him for a decent right wing and right defenseman, or does Canada have any of those left?

Question: Would you approve of a health care program that limited health care to the point where you would be forced to remain in another nation’s hospital for more than a month while awaiting room in your local hospital for basic care?

Somehow I bet that was off the survey, but it’s a good thing that Arlene Meeks was in the United States when an upset stomach turned out to be a burst appendix. Because a month later, she still couldn’t get a room in the hospital near her home in Vancouver, Canada.
