Set Phasers To "Maple Leaf"

Item: William Shatner announces his interest in being Prime Minister of Canada. RTFA -- that's "Prime Minister," as in the head of the government, not "Governor General," as in the ceremonial head of state.

Well, it seems like a joke, but 1) we in the U.S. had Ronald Reagan, and 2) could he really do worse than the guy in office right now, and 3) it seems the alternative to Shatner is picking the next PM on reality TV.

H/T to Hot Air.
