And to elaborate *ever* so slightly...

<P>This appears to be the work of Rick Mercer, Canadian political satirist extraordinaire. It's basically a commentary on the Canadian Alliance Party's idea that more referendums should be held in order to guage what Canadian citizens want. In order to demand a referendum, Stockwell Day (leader of the CA) believes a petition of 400 000 signatures is sufficient.<P>So Mercer and his show, <I>This Hour Has 22 Minutes</I>, has started a petition to hold a referendum on changing Stockwell's name. The petition currently has 175 000 signatures.<P>Somehow I doubt that all of those are unique, or even Canadian.

<P>JOSH.
