I've Got A Fever And The Only Prescription Is High Voter Turnout.



It's almost over.

With the bitter struggle soon to be decided, the leaders of Canada's national political parties jockey for position in the cockles of our hearts.

What better way to help shape the future of Parliament than with a vote for the most mediocre Canadian. LWOT has been a leading federal election prognosticator for the last century, correctly predicting the outcome of all but one during the magazine's illustrious publishing career.

Stephane Dion, the lead horse in our harness race of indifference, is poised to become the prime minister of mediocrity. As one Tory in "disguise" said:

"Meh."

But the head of her majesty's loyal opposition isn't the only leader to receive votes. Both Steven Harper and Jack Layton are holding their own in the slow trot to the finish line.

As one realist said of Harper:
"As PM, has achieved little in developing Canadian culture, economy or standard of living."

One Magnum P.I. fan said of Layton:
"In a time when Ottawa is full of less than passionate leaders (especially on the left) Mr. Layton has completely blown an opportunity to be a major player in Canadian history by focusing on ridiculous issues like ATM fees."

But do any of those reasons justify a place as the most mediocre Canadian? You decide.
