   Confession: I have never ever seen an episode of South Park. However I   
   saw one excerpt of an episode in the theme was that "Canada isn't a real   
   country" as a result of a conversation with Adam Kerman. Apparently,   
   mocking Canada is an ongoing theme in the show. I'm Canadian but we're a   
   pretty easy-going bunch for the most part so I won't take offense.   
      
   My only mild criticism is that Canada does not HAVE a President. We are   
   modeled on the British parliamentary system (to an extent) and have a   
   Prime Minister and a Governor-General. The Prime Minister is by far the   
   most powerful of the two roles; the Governor-General is pretty much a   
   ceremonial role where the G-G basically stands in for the Queen - the   
   British Queen is also our queen - and gives out awards or whatever.   
      
   I don't suppose that they could figure out how to work all of that into   
   the plot; I'm sure it was much easier just to pretend we have a   
   President. Or maybe the writers really don't know that.   
      
   For what it's worth, I don't think we have any requirement that a   
   Canadian Prime Minister (or Governor-General) needs to be born here. In   
   fact, at least one Prime Minister was NOT born in Canada, specifically   
   our first Prime Minister John A. McDonald. Also, our current G-G was   
   born in Canada as far as I know but both of the preceding ones were born   
   overseas, one in Haiti and one in Hong Kong.   
      
   I don't think there would be any legal obstacle to Trump running for   
   Prime Minister, though the voters might not like it. Just in case anyone   
   was wondering....
