That's not what the article is about. It said that a new poll suggests Canadians would prefer to vote for Barack Obama rather than cast a ballot for their own political leaders.
It looks like Canadians wish Obama was a fellow Canadian and running for PM.
I mena, Canada does contain alot of Americans and natives already. Thet're government is somewhat alike, excluding PM and all that. But Obama for PM might happen if he loses the American election. Who knows?
I am an American, however, I have a great love for Canada. It is my favorite place to go, and I did not know that the PM election is coming up. Is there parts like the US with Republican and Democratic, or is there some other party system entirely?
