The Canada Party enters the U.S. Presidential race

The crowded 2012 Presidential race is getting a little more crowded, as a group from north of the border attempts to join the race.

The group, The Canada Party, released a satirical video (that has quickly gone viral) announcing their intention to run Canada for President of the United States.

The video is designed as a satirical take on the regular campaign advertisement featuring a candidate championing their successes and policies.

The video begins with “O Canada” playing in the background and a man sitting in front of a fire. He begins by saying “Hello America, It’s us, Canada. You know, the country you pretend to be when travelling.”

The Canada Party has also taken to Twitter, @thecanadaparty, to promote the campaign, tweeting on January 3, “We humbly launch our new political party for the 2012 U.S. election.”
