Canadians aren’t the only ones paying attention to our current parliamentary turmoil — Jon Stewart is, too!

The comedian poked fun of the political crisis on his “Daily Show” program Monday, calling it Canada’s biggest challenge since the “controversial decision to reshape bacon.”

Stewart expressed confusion about efforts to oust Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“I mean, this guy — his approval rating is 46 per cent and they’re trying to kick him out,” said Stewart. “You know what we call a 46 per cent approval rating down here? President Clinton.”

He also took a not-so-subtle jab at his own country’s leader.

“Force [Harper] from office? You can do that?” asked Stewart. “Because we’ve had no confidence in our guy for quite some time now, and he’s taking forever to leave.”

The host then brought in fake “foreign” correspondents from Britain and India, who ridiculed Harper for “running to mommy” when he asked Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean — the Queen’s representative — to prorogue parliament.

Among other things lampooned were Harper’s hair and Canadians’ famed politeness, with Stewart showing a video clip of a demonstrator shouting, “What are you afraid of, sir?” at Harper.

“‘Sir?’” Stewart repeated. “You’re heckling him. It’s not a job interview! Do you Canadians save all your obnoxiousness for hockey games?”
