I second that, Julie.
A poll came out this week that showed 35% of Canadians wish they could cast a ballot in this US Presidential election - not because they wish they were Yanks but because they're aware of how much the results of this election could impact their lives as Canadians.
Rightly or wrongly, the US election will directly affect hundreds of millions of people (or hell, all six billion of us) worldwide. If you are lucky enough to have some role in the outcome, don't pass it up. Vote.
