He's a great guy! I love my new Prime Minister!!!!

[Beagle8U]

In Canada blue = Conservative, but I knew what you meant.

[CodeToad]

I never liked "Neocon". It sounds too "liberal revolutionary".

Maybe, "Proud Canadian Conservative"?

[MD_Willington_1976]

Vancouver would be blue, rural BC would be red.

Liberals solid in Toronto = blue

Results suggest rift between urban, rural voters

Wonderful! The world is turning Conservative! And beating back the 'liberal hoards'.

[johnny7]

Ha! Libs on both sides of the border are so mad they could spit!

Thanks. Now THAT is a beautiful North American continent.

You should change it to Proud Conservative Canadian with your Quote as "Formerly 'Ashamed Canadian' as of January 23, 2006"

Thanks Friends. My new name is under consideration. Living in the leftist cesspool of Southern Ontario, you should see the lefties both on television and in the streets. They are in utter shock. They cannot believe their new leader is Conservative and Toronto is now effectively isolated from Government.

What really is getting to them is his good will towards President Bush.

[Snowyman]

Ah, In Canada Conservatives are blue , liberals like commies are red... But we get your point.

[aligncare]

Actually, I've often wondered who was it that designated conservative counties to be red? I think it was the MSM during the 2000 election. Can anyone confirm?

[fanfan]

Canada Ping!

Please FReepmail me to get on or off this Canada ping list.

[Snowyman]

Don't know. Up until a couple of years ago, I thought Republicans were blue too .

[Heartofsong83]

That's correct. Northern Ontario is also blue (kinda like the Upper Midwest) and the Atlantic is mostly blue as well.

Quebec is a teal-red-blue mixture.

[Canadian Outrage]

I just love him too!! And I can honestly say I DESPISE that creep Buzz Hargrove. He's a real trouble maker. A pathetic man with no moral compass. He and Martin should fit easily into the same pod!!

Stephen will WIN OVER many others now that he's been given the chance.

[Canadian Outrage]

I'm a born and raised B.C. girl. Vancouver is a city that has been RUINED. It now has MORE immigrants than Canadians and that really changes things. It's a different city than I remember that's for sure. I'm glad that I live in the Southern Interior which is not only beautiful but CONSERVATIVE.

Elections Canada's map is here. There's a lot of Liberal Red and NDP Orange in the Canadian North and Atlantic Canada. Ontario doesn't look as bad as you think - since the Liberal Red is pretty much limited to Toronto and Northern/Western Ontario. Quebec looks very BQ teal, except around Quebec City and in Pontiac.

[MD_Willington_1976]

I was born in Sydney BC, I lived on Vancouver Island for 24 years... I just turned 30...

I'd say a lot of the liberalism started with the draft dodgers, followed by the "Socialized" immigration. I call this the "Soft Cold War", where old guards planted the seeds of socialism in the the young guard then set them free to leave, that way they "kill with kindness" and sow the seeds of socialism.

Canada has continually been sown with those seeds...
