Just to clarify, the Rhinoceros Party started in the 60′s, in Quebec. Wikipedia has a reasonable write-up:

The Natural Law Party was actually a serious party (well, I guess a serious as yogic flying can be)that originated in the States, and created by the followers of the Marharishi Mahesh Yogi. Henning wasn’t the leader of the Canadian branch(Dr. Neil Paterson was), he was just its most notable candidate.
Paul from Hamburg – you sound seriously deprived; perhaps after the election perhaps Canada can set up special aid to create a more Tim Hortons in your area…
Seriously though, an Obama win in the States is going to be problematic for both countries; Obama wants to renegotiate parts of the FTA (if not do away with a good deal of it altogether). But you can’t do that without opening up things like oil & gas as well, which are currently quite favourable to the US. Banking as well could be a significant issue, last time I checked 3 of the top 6 money center banks in the US were Canadian.
