Observer today article on satire Page 2

Political satire is alive and well in Canada. It makes up the majority of our comedy shows. This hour has 22 Minutes, Royal Canadian Air Farce, The Rick Mercer Report (in this link Mercer actually visits the Prime Minister's home it's really funny) are all some of the CBCs top viewed shows. If you look at those links though one is a shot at the Liberals and one the Conservatives. I think the funniest satires are the ones that poke fun at all sides.

You're not worried that GWB might class satire as a WMD, and invade?

You're 10 years behind us, you've still got good relevant satire. Loved the conservative election ad.

And your PM seems like a laugh riot, couldn't see Gordy doing it.

Really glad to hear you liked it, politicians are tripping over themselves to be on Mercer's show.
