I think you guys would be amazed by a Canadian federal election.
There's usually 2-3 months of lead up time to a vote being called, in
which the political parties get all their stuff organized and ready
just in case.
Then the actual election/campaign period goes for between 25 to 45
days, maximum. Then there's a vote, and we have a new government.

It seems politics is consuming a lot of chatter on the list. I
personally enjoy it, I have thick skin, per another thread, but I
am concerned it could turn south. This is the only industry
mechanism I have for quick and dirty advice so I am fearful it
could devolve into something ugly or useless like dslreports.
When Chuck ran the list there was a bit more policing, stay away
from religion or politics. I assume others got the offlist
spankings I got. I'm not bashing the current list owner, I enjoy
the occasional freedom to rant.
What I am fearful of is losing the best resource I have for a
vendor neutral discussion of on topic issues.
I'm not asking that the off topic political discussion stop, or
any other off topic discussion for that matter, I do request
however that everybody come to a consensus that we are all adults
with different backgrounds and opinions who can disagree and still
work together effectively.
This is solely a self serving request as I an very much
incompetent for my position and rely heavily on advice from this
list to impress my boss so he continues to give me a paycheck he
could probably pay a comatose midget who only wakes up long enough
to swear to do the same level of work.
