With the likes of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert making their way north onto Canadian television, they are raising the bar for our comedic talent.
Rick Mercer is one such talent who has planted his flag on the comedic landscape through years of work on the main network. As one voter said:
"Kind of the 'president's choice' brand version of John Stewart."
But are two successful shows and one of the most recognizable faces in the country enough to put him ahead of his compatriots? You decide.
