Or i can start a campaign to amend the constitution so that my term can be extended further. I mean.. we change the constitution on a whim all the time right??

First off, if the Canadian people think that you're the best man for the job then more power to you (literally). Govern Canada and do what you can. You'll note that I didn't say "
rule Canada and do what you
want," 'cause leaders of the
free world don't rule and they can't do just anything. So, if you want to go through all that effort, be my guest!
Secondly, these are no more whims than allowing women or black people to vote! This law seperates your country into second-class Americans and
real Americans. Isn't that repugnant? Don't you find that offensive?
All citizens are equal, but some citizens are more equal than others?
Also, consider this. If someone has simply been the best thing that has ever happened to your country for the past eight years and people want him to continue his good work, don't you think he should be allowed to? What's with this totally arbitrary restriction of his length of service? Lots of other countries have no such limitations and they're doing just fine! If the guy's no good, you can just not elect him next term. Hell, you can even impeach him, if you like! So, what's the big fear about foreign nationals taking over your country? Why descriminate?
