I guess I should explain the "Bloc du Quebecois". Please no more political talk though- this iis just explanitory.
There was a referrendum a few years back, where Quebec wanted to seperate and become thier own country- needless to say it was squashed by a small margin. In any case, they formed thier own party which considers the interest of our French friends, and they usually end up with around 15% status. Same with our NDP, which is extreme left (socialist). The conservatives are right-wingers, and the liberals fall into the center.
For the last number of years, the liberals have done great things for our economy, social services, and human rights and freedoms. Previously, Canada was a conservative government (and in huge debt because of it).
If the bloc du Quebecios were to gain a majority government, it would be certain Quebec would seperate and become it's own nation... that probably won't happen though, because Bloc parties generally only gain ridings in Quebec.
Hope that helps. If you need to- Google search for "Liberal Party Canada" and check out thier commercials against Harper (conservative leader)... you'll notice the parallels between this video and the liberal campaign.
In any case, yes, this is probably the most controversial thing I've done to date, so I'm oddly proud of it (for simply GETTING a reaction). Don't take any negativity though- yes, it's cynical, satirical, and possibly even outright rude, but it's just an exaggeration on real facts combined with ultra-exaggeration of liberal canadian view-points.
Aside from the politics, it's just a way for a filmmaker to critique the political system here and express himself cathardically.
Lilith- if you liked the evil music, I implore you to check out the Liberal campaign ads on thier site- you'll realize how eeriely accurate I got it (using MAcbeth 3000 soundtrack music!).
Anyway, please no nasty political comments- gotta respect the rules. If anyone needs anything else bout Canadian politics explained, or wants to send hate/love mail, do so in a PM to me and I'll get back to you!
