Desperate for relevance, Canada's Commie-Pinko NDP party is trying to recast itself as a 'orange' green party (their traditional party colour is orange). Hence this ad. For a political 'viral ad' of sorts, it's so 'non-slick' it's kind of slick, if that makes any sense.

Olivia and her husband are both Members of Parliament - her husband Jack Layton being leader of the federal NDP party.

For those of you unfamiliar with Canadian politics, we have four federal parties, one of the four being devoted to destroying the country (I'm not being a partisan or anything - they want Quebec to seceed and be its own country).

Having mentioned the Bloc Quebecois, the others are the NDP (as you see in the vid - the most 'left wing' of the 'big four'), the Liberals (middle of the road/centrist), and the Conservatives (yep, right wing).

We also have a Green Party, which irritates the NDP and the Liberals to no end, as they've been stealing about 5% if the votes in the past few elections, enought to spoil a race here and there - they haven't, however, won any seats in Parliament yet(?).

Few will understand this without context, but I thought it was funny enough to share: Poland has a Prime Minister and a President.

Well in the last election a pair of twins were elected to office. One was elected president, the other to parliament. Like in many countries with parliaments, any member of parliament can, in theory, become Prime Minister.

Well, long story short, government got reshuffled and the 2nd twin is now PM, making some people upset - in part b/c they promised that they wouldn't both be in the top two positions, yet they now are.

Translations (Prawie jak means "almost like" ... some need no translation but I'll be thorough)

And yes, their name is spelled essentially the same way as that of the Unabomber, I know - except for the original Polish letter "ń"
