I'm sorry, I must be a bad Canadian, but John Stewart and The Daily Show are ten times funnier than Rick Mercer and his weekly attempts at comedy.

For one thing, as its name suggests, the Daily Show comes out every day, and it's consistently funny. While it takes Rick Mercer and his team of writers a week to come up with highly imaginative clips like Snow in Toronto. Where do they come up with stuff?

Well I have to agree, TDS is funnier but you've got to give a lot of credit to American politics for that. Canada has some messed up stuff going on with a preppy who never outgrew his high school social stigma as PM but, messed up as he is Harper doesn't hold a candle to Bush's lunacy and the insanity keeps going a lot more strongly at the lower levels too.

In case y'all didn't know, there was a time a few years ago when the City of Toronto actually called in the army to help shovel snow. This was when we had an idiot for mayor, though.

Yeah, we lack the comedic gold mine that is America these days. And yes, that was Toronto's darkest hour (I mean when Whacko McNutjobMan was elected mayor).
