I didn’t know there were too many Catholics left in Canada. I mean where was the outrage when they passed homo marriage.
“and the liberals are better?”
Too bad we’re not asking that question in the US.
To Catholic Canadians:
In the Canadian elections, which is likely to help elect more Conservatives to Parliament - electing Harper or defeating him?
If more Conservatives than Liberals get elected, will pro-life forces be strengthened or made worse.
I think Catholics must realize that Conservatives are their better friends.
Friends build alliances with each other when and how they can, or they destroyn them on single issues.
Harper has a good chance of carrying more Conservatives into government with him.
If I were a Canadian Catholic, I’d think that would be a good thing.
My question is whether there are other Conservatives who would be preferable to Harper.
Preferable is one thought.
Possible is another, and if I may say, a more important one.
We have to work with what is possible, and real.
Stephen Harper is the best leader we have had in Canada in my life time, but still, 3 years later, some of the electorate continues to be convinced that Stephen Harper is scary. All those conservative views, don'cha know.
I look forward to the day that abortion is put to a national referendum. Given that chance, I know most Canadians would outlaw Partial Birth Abortions, once they really understood what it was.
Anyway, we have to do what we can, with what we have.
None that can become PM in this election. It’s either a mostly conservative Harper or one of the socialist anti-americans who lead the other parties.
No, don’t really have time to volunteer. I was unemployed when Walter Robinson was running here and it was great working with him. I so wish he won. A lawn sign is about all I’m up for this time.
Don’t put words in my mouth. The fact is that there is no viable option for electing a PM that will be pro-life. As much as you might hate his position on it, it will either be him or Dion or Layton. If you want to tell me to not vote for Harper, then have the guts to tell me who you think I should vote for instead.
there are real conservatives here in NY too but like Canada we also have a lot of socialists and first priority is making sure they don’t win.
well you solve the problem by fielding a better candidate and not waiting a few days before an election
it’s so easy to always say NO to everything than offer real alternatives
Yeah - bullsh*t rhetoric above all else, evidently.
Be honest - you have absolutely zero intention of living in simple, let alone primitive, circumstances.
I can understand that there will be some differences between Canadian and U.S. conservatism, but three subjects I do not compromise on are defense, abortion and the right to keep and bear arms. I don’t know how Harper is on the first and third subjects but I was shocked that he seems to be pro-abortion.
