Would Canada live long and prosper...
...with Captain Kirk at the helm?
http://www.canada.com/entertainment/Prime+Minister+Shatner/1331837/story.html "I must, with deepest thanks, turn down your honourable intent to advance me as Governor General. Besides which, I don't have time to be Governor General," wrote the Star Trek star. "My intention is to be Prime Minister of Canada, not Governor General, which is mainly a ceremonial position."

But would he be Capt. Kirk or Denny Crane?

From everything I've read, is REAL LIFE persona is more like Denny Crane than any other character he's done.
Him at the helm would be a scary thought indeed. |

I'll take Shatner above Ignatieff any day.
I mean, the US can make a second rate actor into president, we ought to be able to make Shatner into a PM? Does he speak French? Not that it matters of course.... Dennis

Not sure what language makes the most sense these days, I am voting for Mandarin however....  I think Canada needs to be rebalanced, personally I think the continent was sliced the wrong way, I have more in common with Texas than I do with Quebec or the Maritimes. How about if we suggest that, we have Eastern North America and Western North America? I'll go for Shatner as PM of the West (my side) ..... Dennis

just kidding, though it was definitely a new experience for me when one of the first things I saw when I got off the plane at the Calgary airport was a guy wearing a cowboy hat. 'round here that'd get you some mighty strange looks!  I too would take Shatner in a heartbeat over Ignatieff or Harper. Or Layton, Dion, Duceppe, the list goes on... In all seriousness, though, I do think charisma can go a long way - not all the way, but a long way, and it's been a long time since we've seen that here in Canada.

 As for Mandarin, it's already the official second language of Vancouver (and the first language in Richmond!) so why not?
