We just finished a national election here in Canada and did anyone notice? Worst voter turnout ever.

There's not much local political awareness. You can be derisive about American media, but they have a deluge of information on their candidates. Meanwhile our news has done little more than cover our candidates' basic talking points.

Political satire is the most infectious and oddly-informing outlet. It's booming in the U.S. right now and what do we have in Canada?

CBC airs decade-old episodes of This Hour has 22 Minutes. Reruns are worse than nothing at all, it's just confusing. Some people actually think Kim Campbell is still our Prime Minister. CBC needs to take this old junk off the air.

We've got Rick Mercer, leftover from 22 Minutes, he's got the Rick Mercer Report but despite the similarity in the title it's not tongue-in-cheek like the Colbert Report. His blog was blank for the week leading up to the election, and on his show he covered honey bees and motorcross? Even he's bored of our political landscape.

Every episode of the Daily Show starts out with the day's date, so even if an episode is at most a week old, you know where it's at. And the Daily Show covers what's expected, the day's political news.
