I was visiting Toronto a few years ago and read an opinion piece in a Toronto newspaper. The writer said that Canada's problem was the parlimentary system doesn't fit the country. Without a Senate (and Electoral College?) the urban voter had TOTAL control over a country with huge rural areas, and did not even have to listen (and didn't listen) to the concerns of non-urban Canadians. Do urban Canadians think non-urban Canadians are stupid, like the American red states?

If I may, I believe this is true. I moved from the Maritimes to Toronto to work there for two years. I gotta say, they looked at me sometimes like I was their long lost cousin from the mountains.
