The Difference between our and your conservatives

[Dru]

This guy once called me a traitor to the country for suggesting that he should lobby for a new national park near Whistler

[catbirdseat]

uh. dru. what is the difference?

"Our conservatives" are openly gay (well, not all, depending on your definition of "gay"), support same-sex marriage (well, not all, but some, including some of the leadership candidates), and genneraly hold social values that would fall in the same range of the spectrum as moderate or even liberal Democrats.

 

However, on the fiscal side, they are all in the same shitty league as the small-government-no-regulation-low-taxes BS that neo-cons around the world seem to hue and cry about...

 

For an interesting new book on the "myth of converging social values between Americans and Canadians," check out Fire and Ice by Canadian pollster Michael Adams. Some interesting stuff, even if some of that polling stuff is bullshit.
