Unfortunately, BC is like the American left coast. It can be as leftist as Toronto. It is, in fact, the lesbian capital of the world. The conservative west in Canada includes only the interior of BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan and maybe Manitoba. I would love to see these provinces try to secede from Canada as a warning to Ottawa to get with the program. The Maritime Provinces...unfortunately...are also more left wing than necessary. They are pro-American only in the sense that they would be pro-Hillary. My sister lives in Newfoundland and she was totally shocked and befuddled when I told her last October that I was voting for George Bush. I then learned that, in eastern Canada, she had never heard anything from the media but negatives about the President, Iraq, etc. She had never been given a chance to form an alternative opinion.
very true!
Lipstick or butch? We need to make an informed decision.
My bad, it seems that, apart from that Lesbian Capital thing, BC would not make a good state after all.
I used to listen quite regularly to Radio Canada on shortwave, (even though I'm in the greater
Montreal broadcasting area, including 3 tv channels on cable), and you'd be hard pressed not to tell the
difference between a CNN radio newsbreak during the day, and what RCI used to run at 6PM Eastern Time.
Okay, the Canadian accents may give it away, but story, the spin, etc., was indistinguishable from any LSM broadcast.
In other words, the NYSlimes set the agenda.
I have several family members who live in Canada. Most were pro-Clinton during that era and now are anti-Bush. What's interesting, the latest generation coming up ... at least in my experience, are far more conservative than their parents. Maybe there's hope yet ...
