And what about the psychology of our media that allows candidates get away
with lies, lies and more lies?!  Chris, would/could this happen in Canada?

If you're asking me whether politicians lie in Canada, of course they do. It's part of the job description, isn't it? :-)

Canada may not have quite as much disparity between rich and poor in education and health care as the US does, so the lies may be ever so slightly less egregious in those areas, but that just gives Canadian politicians more "room" to tell real whoppers in other areas.

Best,
Chris
