Slow on the Uptake

FUNNY THING, Canadian Politics. Though the campaigns here are lightning fast (usually about 33 days, total) the actual speed at which engagement happens in this country seems to me to be slow, slowwww, slowwwww.

First, there's the fact that the CBC didn't jump to get its comedy shows on the air earlier -- even in a special version.
