IFF is right, that's wishful thinking.
Don't mistake Canadian voters for Americans who chose Bush over Gore because (in part) of Gore's intellectualism and Bush's Joe Sixpack everyman appeal. By far the most popular (and, indeed, also the most hated) Canadian PM from the last 50 years was nothing if not an intellectual.
