So since I was out of town for most of the past week, I was unable to continue campaigning. I was still able to garner roughly 15% of the vote. For a Presidential run that didn't get off the boards until halfway through the first day of voting, on a ballot I wasn't even listed, in a school where too many people are too hippie to hate Canada, I'd say I did fairly well.
I've also had a few people notify that I actually offended some folks. Some at the whole concept of a mock campaign, and some because I mocked Canada. The complaint as reported to me, "If that was a Mexican flag being crossed out, people would be pissed." Well, it wasn't a Mexican flag. It was a Canadian flag. It's big, white, and boring. And right next to us. And I can't think of a more politically acceptable country to make fun of. Interestingly enough, for all these people I've heard about that have problems with me taking Canada to task, not a one has come to talk to me about it. I would relish the opportunity, but I imagine any Canadian sympathizer is too passive to actually have a confrontation.
