What if US elections were a bit more... Canadian?
Ahead of Canada's elections, we #CutThroughTheNoise to explore the differences in our democracies.
BBC News The BBC travelled around Canada cities to talk to voters ahead of the federal election. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-50009090/what-do-canadians-think-of-trudeau-s-record?intlink_from_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Fnews%2Ftopics%2Fcywd23g0q41t%2Fcanada&link_location=live-reporting-map
BBC News Canadians go to the polls on 21 October -- here's what you should know https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50003913?intlink_from_url=https://www.bbc.com/news/topics/cywd23g0q41t/canada&link_location=live-reporting-story
BBC News Take a moment to contemplate what a US presidential election would look like if it were a bit more, well, Canadian. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49899159
What if the BBC had a bit more... journalistic integrity?
Here is a news flash. We in the USA really don't care what a liberal British propaganda machine thinks about our election process compared to any other country. We still have more freedom and opportunity for the individual than anywhere else on Earth
Why doesn’t the Beeb mind it’s own socialistic business? I haven’t heard Canada nor America question my homeland about Brexit or a host of other things. Stay in your lane
if the US was more like Canada .. There would be a vote of non confidence and an temporary government would be established within 30 days ...
Hello from HK
Hello from Seattle USA
So, basically Canada's system is similar to that of the rest of the democracies in the world. America's is unique - and not in a good way.
I would like to see one more like Germany where candidates are disqualified for attacking other candidates and required to only talk about what their plan is.
1. The US is not a Democracy - it is a Constsituional Republic. Learn the difference before you comment.
Let’s Choose Forward, and let’s show Justin Trudeau and Liberal candidates across Canada that we have their backs in the crucial final 4 days of this campaign.
Why am I watching this?
It’s all about the money 💰
Yea whatevers
Regarding USA presidential elections, No to Canadian-style election, but do away with electoral college and elect by popular vote. BUT no broadcast of vote counts until the last poll has closed.
Speaking as a reasonably informed canadian voter... 6 weeks is nowhere near enough time for a federal election campaign. Advance polls were open while the parties were still trickling out their platforms. Now we vote Monday and how many of us even know the name of the candidate they're voting for? Nevermind knowing anything about them... Hell, half the country is still learning to pronounce the name of one of our major party leaders.
If we wanted to be like Canada, we'd move there.
If our country were to be like Canada, including the French part, I would move out of here and into there...

What if Canada just annexed the US? I'm okay with that.
No, the amendments that need to be admonished and/or refined will be done by the citizenry of the USA!
This photo of Democrat Nancy Pelosi at an "explosive" White House meeting on Syria is causing a stir.
I would love to break that finger of her's. I don't know who she thinks she is. But she isn't very honest. Anyone taljs to the PRESIDENT like that should be leaving. But on the end of his foot.
Go, Nancy! It must be so galling for him to have a woman put him in his place so much of the time! He simply doesn't have the words 🙂
The Democrats have lost their minds. To support a Democrat is to oppose freedom and liberty
This photo will become iconic for years to come as a symbol of the ability to speak truth to power. It's ironic that Nancy, the only woman at the table, is able to do it while every man at the table sits there in silence with heads down, averted eyes, etc. Makes you wonder how many of Trump's inner circle were secretly saying "YES!...wish I could've said that." Go Nancy!
Nancy Pelosi has never had a melt down in her entire life. We all know who the King of the Melt Down is.
Never could the world have imagined that a US President, occupant of one of the most exalted offices in the world will be this petty, erratic and totally unpresidential.
Pelosi has a real talent. I've never heard anyone use so many words to say so little.
I love Nancy's power stance in the photo. She is standing up straight, and 45 is sitting down, looking like a naughty child being told off by his mother. Totally apropos.
They both used this photo to claim the other has the issue. Our culture loves the super narrow focus of singular photo. We let others work us up to anger, sadness, and caring from them.
Love the image. Finally someone putting Donny in his place.
I have it on good authority that Nancy once went through a haunted house at a state fair and came out with a job application .
Pelosi owned the Room. Those men knew she was stating the correct, the right, the inarguable.
She is the only one in a room full of "men" who will stand up to him!
For gods sake, ask the people sitting around the table... few will lie, the majority will tell the truth... that's how investigators do it.
I think all the heads hanging in shame on the right tells the story pretty well.
Check out the men on his side of the table that are hanging their heads.
BBC she never said Trump said she was a 3rd grade politician. A reporter asked about being called “a 3rd grade politician” and Pelosi quickly corrected the reporter. The picture says it all. Trump says the lone female in the room “had a meltdown.” A male would have been called defiant or strong.
"At that point, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer reportedly interjected, telling the president that such insults were "not useful"."More of this, please. More interruption, more interjection, more speaking up and pointing out and not letting slide.
I like the statement of the President to keep the American safe. It's very sad and painful to see the death of American soldiers, but it is more painful to see the pain of their loved ones, wife/husband, and their kids. I wish soldiers become a congressmen/ women for a day and politician become a soldier for a day and sent them to war but zone for experience of what most soldiers feel in war zone about their loved ones back home.
I'm so embarrassed of my country's leaders acting like circus clowns. This is why you need a president with some sort of experience. We need to tighten up the prerequisites. 🤦♂️
45 has the meltdown when Speaker Pelosi told him of the condemnation vote in the house. Even a couple of reTRUMPs in the room corroborated that fact. He needs to grow up or get out!
“Ms. Pelosi”? What the hell is that? Speaker Pelosi or Congresswoman Pelosi. Show some respect!
Notice the three sitting to Trumps right, just looking down at the table. Looks like they are ashamed and embarrassed to be there.
She sure is great at wagging her finger at people while she admonishes them. I just wish she put some of that skill into actually doing something about the man. Constant hit air from both sides.
He just can't handle women (or anyone) who aren't impressed by him.
Four ways the new Brexit deal is different, one way it's the same.

BBC News Brexit deal: Your questions answered https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-50084090
The guy trying to write an email behind the presenter looks so annoyed that someone has come to sit next to him and started yelling about brexit 😂
Now, now. BBC should not interfere with the commentary by complicating the detail. We all know the BBC is full of remainers.
its the preparing for no deal brexit , which is exactly what the public voted for , good game , and well played boris
"Let's get it done"......If I hear that again I'll scream!!!! Dont you realise that it'll take years to "get it done" meanwhile the good old UK is left in economic oblivion, penniless and a laughing stock throughout the world!!!
Well done guys....you've just made Britain "Great" again.....NOT!!!!
The poor and the people with lower wages will not be better off, what ever happens tomorrow. And the rich will gain as always .
Give Labour a chance to
Make things more even. Don’t like Corbin, but do like some of his ideas.
Its a bit of piffle paffle wiffle waffle and we going for it 3 years and we couldnt find anything close to agree with suddenly in the past 2 weeks they all had a eureka moment, find that hard to believe.
Why are we having to pay 39 billion yes billions for this deal it’s not worth 39 p never mind billions
Like May’s deal, only worse. What are we doing to ourselves?
So this will pass because Tax Avoidance laws will not be applied to the UK.
What happens about fishing and agriculture?
Trade will take care of itself.
I really shouldn't make a comment as I don't reside in the U.K but I'm going to...Boris did good!
Just sort it out already been waiting 3 years ! We just go round and round in circles.
as long as the british govt allow themselves to be dictated to by the DUP ye will never get anywhere.
Give it back to the people, 2nd Referendum !
It doesn't matter the prime minister will take it to parliament and they will vote it down.
Politicians & similar flooding onto our screens condemning the deal within minutes of it being announced and they can't possibly have read it. Amateurs.
It’s not the end of the beginning because Saturday is still in the future
So, MPs. It's a straight choice - this deal or you're inadvertently voting for a no-deal.
the casualty its has claimed + will-way its the same😂!
I am sure the 17.4m voted for no deal.
Why was this not done two years ago?
You can't negotiate a deal until you left anyway was always going to be the case. What deal???
Oh my heavens! When will this nightmare end?
This is just the end of the beginning... not finishing yet people( looking at those MPs in the parliament...)
BA passengers on a flight to Valencia which filled with smoke say they're still experiencing breathing difficulties two months on.
We in Africa use firewood in poorly ventilated house but we've never experienced the same or we need some motivation from insurance claims?
Of course they are.. are they by any chance going through the same law firm who got their details and emailed every passenger they could find?
Put on the oxygen mask and forget about the claim. You can't spend your compensation when you're dead.
My guess is breathing issues is better than being dead, which would also have been a possible outcome?????
Just be thankful to be alive and stop chasing pound signs ffs
It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom.
I do wish the reporting of these stories was less melodramatic. Accept the facts of the problem, state what BA have to say, but challenge BA on their response and challenge the complainants that they are being motivated in part by ambulance chasing lawyers.
Never flown BA before but booked a flight to Japan in May .. hope this doesn’t happen !
What about the use of the face masks??? Don’t they have them? (As in oxygen masks)
Why didn't the oxygen masks come down?
Wow
Everyone's is amazing
Are you with them?
Where there's blame, there's a claim 🤣
What about the flight crew and other passengers, are they suffering the same?
Or are these ones after compensation.
with the suspision and cry about 9/11🤔this could be another one of it but on a different fashion..
Don't tell me there's still no smoking ban in England?
Please wait while I prepare my compensation face 🤑
Get your compo faces on 🤢🤕🤒
That’s call “dance on chance”...law suit and get a easy money.
Wow, sounds like a major design flaw to incorporate the air cabin airflow into the engine intake, I mean, what happens if there’s an engine fire? Oh... Right. 🥵Perhaps future aeronautical engineers could find a better way to separate the two systems so the one is not dependent on the other?
Stop bsing and just admit your wanting some money 🙄
How I wished I was on that plan 💰💵💸💳💰💵💸💴
Great... I’m flying with them next month. 🙄
Yeah of course they are 😂 I bet they only realized when they were contacted by some solicitors 😂
Looking for a big payout I'd say
where there’s a blame...
President Trump's Florida resort was chosen as the next G7 locale because it was "by far and away" the best option, the White House said.
"We looked at 12 different places, and naturally picked the one that puts Trump in violation of the emoluments clause. Because it's Thursday and we haven't made any impeachable offenses all week, and the weekend is just right around the corner."
They looked at all their options in the USA and decided that the best one is the one that will directly benefit the Trump family.
"Not the craziest idea we had ever heard" - this is what counts as an winning argument in the current administration. How wonderful. 😐
I want to see all the documentation on the search and how it was conducted.
This event should be boycotted by the 6 other world leaders. Hey, I can hope.
I thought that's what Camp David was for!!!! Does this president ever use it??? Not tacky nouveau-riche enough for him???? Or haunted by the history and the ghosts of real presidents, perhaps!!!!
I wonder what sort of permanent security upgrades will be installed and paid for by the US tax payer? And I bet, the standard nightly room/suite fee will be doubled or tripled.
A spokesman said " it was the best option. The very best, the option that, when it comes to options is the biggest bestest ever"
The best option to line your pockets, sure.
“We need to cover up other things you’re attention is on and this seemed dumb and big enough and we hope you can’t pay attention to more than one problem at a time”
Can you say "Emoluments Clause violations?"
I knew you could!
The US constitution created an absolute monarch for a president. King George III would be proud.
One of the other options was a place where everyone would need oxygen? Let me guess, the next best option was the moon? Or Atlantis? Top of Everest? I'm at a loss.
Conflict of interest? emoluments clause alert? Under any other president, any whiff of a connection to the White House would have got it taken off the short list. The stinking cheek of the man....
Well, thats the best way to make the taxpayers pay for upgrades and make money to linr his pockets. When has he ever done anything that doesn't line his pockets.
He’s making money off of his office, which is blatantly against the law. I genuinely don’t understand how he keeps getting away with this.
The best option in the ENTIRE United States - when it has had multiple health violations, bedbugs and vermin? Seriously???
Wait what??? I was SURE there was something against that... ahh yes. The emoluments clause? No? Just whatever at this point?
Bed bug infestation, poor rating by the health department at the restaurants with roach and mice droppings and unacceptable temperatures in the food preparation areas of the kitchen. Other than that, the Trump resort at Doral would be great for the G7 summit next year.
And the profits should be donated to the homeless people in America.!!
I’d say “Unbelievable!” If it weren’t so absolutely and utterly believable!
Really? In the entire US there was no where else? Yer I really believe that one. Oh look it’s a unicorn playing with Pegasus how sweet but just beware of the 💩 from the flying pigs.
He will make more money there than 4 years of presidential salary. This man has no shame. King of the swamp.
And to think Jimmy Carter set his agricultural assets aside so as not to appear in conflict while he was President.
This is a great hotel, a beautiful hotel. This is a perfect hotel, the greatest and most beautiful hotel ever built. No one knows as much about hotels as me.
UK PM Boris Johnson has got a new Brexit deal with the EU. But will MPs back it in a crucial vote on Saturday?
(via BBC Politics) https://bbc.in/2MKW2d2
No other party will vote for it because Labour, Liberal, Snp and greens are lilly liveried turncoats that don't support what their constituents want bring on an election and let them have "leave or remain" put against their name on the ballot paper!!!
Every time this woman opens her mouth such a load of twaddle comes out of it!!
The referendum has to be honoured and Brexit either delivered with or without a deal, that is why we live in a democracy for crying out loud!!
And for crying out loud get some decent earing, plastic is bad for the planet don't you know!!
We know they won't. Even if Boris had come back with cream doughnuts all round, a winnng Euro millions lottery ticket for every MP and a ship full of Spanish dubloons to sweeten the deal, parliament would say no. Its all about party politics and blame and screw democracy.
Somebody needs to point out to these MPs that they were elected to carry out the will of the people and not the will of themselves
wonder how much of her support for remaining in the EU has to do with her partners business interest.
They better just vote for it and let us move on with our lives. We have had enough of this meri-go-round for quite a long time. Three years of wastage and fruitless efforts. Enough is enough!!!! Common BOJO!!!
If they don’t vote for it doesn’t matter, the EU will not grant an extension, the Benn Surrender Act will become obsolete, the UK 🇬🇧 will be thrown out or crash out, they will lose their seats in the next General Election! These are the stark and only choices now. Chlorinated chicken Corbyn, as usual is dodging everything and making stupid demands🛑🤬
"I do think that this deal represents a very good deal both for the EU and...", slows speech, almost pauses, looks down; "for the uk...". Not very convincing.
Hope the EU says after this is voted down on Sat ,you have had an extension, tough luck ,31st you are out ,without a deal ,and who do you think swinson corbyn, sturgeon will blame and point at for not getting brexit down ? Bet it's not themselves
Well she is the leader of a political party that jumps into bed with anyone ,as displayed a few yrs ago.
Why cant the people of this country put a vote of no confidence in against Corbyn. He is the only one that is causing this country problems. The guy is a complete joke. No use for anything.
I think/hope this is a Boris masterstroke. Negotiate a deal knowing that parliament will reject. The Benn Act will be triggered which specifically states we have to accept whatever extension the EU offer. Juncker says if this agreement is rejected then there is no point in having an extension. Boris and Juncker have saved face by reaching an agreement, The remainers with their Benn Act have shot themselves in the foot, so in two weeks we are out with no deal
Brexiteers. Finally be happy and stop shouting “out means out”, even though most still don’t know what they are getting out of. Oh yeah, I went there.McRemoan.
Is Boris playing all and getting the EU to say no more extension knowing that MPs will vote against the new deal so he gets his way a no deal Brexit??? I so hope so lol
Boris Johnson has cried all along to get rid of the backstop, but the backstop has been moved from between Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland to between England and Northern Ireland, and the word backstop was taken off the official treaty. Is this what he call success? I think British people are too intelligent to let this escape their attention.
No they'll put party politics a personal ambitions above the will of the people... like they've done for the last 3 years
What is the point of Jo Swinson? Just trying to make a name for herself in politics. Unfortunately it's a bad name.
They dont even know what it is and they are still going to vote it down.
It just shows it's not about the country's best interests it's all about party politics and personality conflicts.
Childish and damaging.
And your objectives happened to be an exit from EU but enjoying the benefits of member states!
You could get the best deal possible but these muppets will never except anything
Even without Deal the next months or years various deals and agreements with E.U. will unavoidably be achieved. Of course the first period of hard Brexit will be painful if there isn't some tolerance by both UK and E.U. Eventually everything the following years will normalize and other E.U. countries will follow the example of U.K.
Of course Ireland is another story. I won't be surprised if British paratroopers will reappear and patrol on the Irish borders.
History repeating.
This woman is on an ego trip and likes being on the TV. So she will do whatever it takes to stay on the TV. She needs to start thinking about this country and not her ego.
Should never be a second referendum, the country voted out. If we believe in democracy
It's for nothing to do with what SHE wants. It's the choice of the public and we voted out.
No which is what boris is counting on. The EU have already said they'll be no extension so it will be no deal on the 31st October. Hooray 👍👍👍👍
