As Canada’s election looms, John Oliver, joined by ‘Mountie’ Mike Myers, flaunts five thousand Canadian Dollars and prepares to go to prison to prevent Canada (our next-door neighbor) from taking her bad boyfriend – PM Stephen Harper – back, in Canada’s historic election today.
While a large Beaver plays ‘Sweet Caroline’ and a Moose receives a free colonoscopy on stage, Stephen and Mike make an impassioned (and perhaps illegal) plea to Canadians to get out the vote and give Harper the boot. Thanks to no term limits, Harper has had the job for ten long years! John warns; “where there is banuality there is evil.” Harper is the very embodiment of banual evil; but the Islamophobe, who claims science has determined that Marijuana is “infinitely worse than tobacco” could lose to Justin Trudeau – if enough Canadians vote.
As an added treat, John regales us with the bizarre and stupid antics of some of the candidates who didn’t make it to the election. I guarantee that you’ll never leave dishes in the sink, while a contractor is working in your home – ever again!
There is a law which forbids “outsiders” from attempting to influence the voting decisions of Canadians. To put teeth in the law, there is a possible fine of five thousand dollars and a six-month prison sentence for those foolish enough to try…Like John Oliver. John seems to feel that imprisonment is not too great a price to pay to remind our friends ‘next door’ to vote the bum out! Actually, I think he’s counting on Mike’s Canadian credentials to prevent the six month forced exile in Ottawa. Let’s hope Mike is a Canadian in good standing!
