As one of nearly twenty musicians in Canadian collective Broken Social Scene, Brendan Canning is an expert in group politics. So it’s no surprise that when SPIN.com sat Canning down at Coney Island’s Siren festival, he chose a broad range oftopics that require addressing in the U.S. presidential campaign, and further proved that outside America’s borders, the world is paying close attention in ’08.

And to do your part, head to Headcount.org, a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization devoted to voter registration and participation in democracy.
