Gravando! will present to you our new guest, Marcelo Paolinelli, who will help us to put some logs ‘in the fire’ in this show, politics. Enjoy this edition where we talk about the lack of emotions in the Canadian elections if compared to Brazilian or U.S. one’s, electoral promises to gain some votes from immigrants, and also the Brazilian political lack of representation in Toronto.

The Canadian elections (general elections), a very calm event, without nervous eruptions, with inexpressive candidates-some people miss Pierre Trudeau for that reason – will take place in October 14. The same can’t be said about the Brazilians elections (mayors and local councilman), the deafening speakers in vans and trucks reproducing political campaigns for the candidates they represent, the next-to-the-ballot advice, fliers dropped from airplanes, free gifts (brooms, t-shirts, pens, bottle openers, dentures, shoes…) but will win whose last mandate wasn’t as bad, or had less political scandals, because the fan it’s turned on, and if the ‘smell’ coming from the candidates stinks, maybe a little perfume can help, Paulo Maluf and Celso Pitta (Brazilian politicians from São Paulo) could tell you about it.

Don’t forget it, Wednesday on Gravando!

Nesta edição do Gravando! apresentaremos a vocês nosso novo convidado, o jornalista Marcelo Paolinelli, que ajudará a colocar a lenha na fogueira do programa, política. Divirta-se com esta edição, que contém; a falta de emoção nas eleições canadenses (se comparadas às do Brasil e Estados Unidos), promessas eleitoreiras para angariar votos de imigrantes e a falta de representatividade política brasileira em Toronto.

As eleições no Canadá, um acontecimento  pacato, sem explosões nervosas, com candidatos inexpressivos – muitos tem saudade de Pierre Trudeau – acontecem em 14 de outubro. No Brasil a coisa é outra, o barulho é ensurdecedor partindo dos auto-falantes das antigas Kombi ou de caminhões, do boca-de-urna, de santinhos jogados dos aviões, dos brindes (vassouras, camisetas, canetas, abridor de garrafas, dentadura, sapatos…) mas ganha quem fez menos besteira durante o mandato anterior ou mesmo não se meteu em escândalos políticos, pois o ventilador estará ligado e se o ‘cheiro’ emanado do candidato é ruim, talvez um bom ‘perfume’ ajude, Paulo Maluf e Celso Pitta que o digam.

Não esqueça, quarta-feira no Gravando![/lang_pt]
