Again with the Canadian politics...

STEPHANE DION: Well, this is a treat - somebody really famous is in the race. Let me be the first to say that having that awesome soprano voice and being able to hit 4 to 5 octave range is just amazing.

It's election time again and, as is the norm, we see teachers using the opportunity to talk to their students about things such as Prime Ministers, parliaments, senates, and, well, basically - how this thing we call the "Canadian Government" is meant to work. My own daughter who is in Grade 4 is…
