I don’t need too.

The conservatives, federally, have governed more from the centre than the right.

There are still provincial income taxes unlike states like Texas.

It depends on the province more than the federal government with respect to determining whether the people or govervnment policies are right or left on things in Canada. For example, the greater Toronto area is still very liberal, Quebec is socialist.

Finally we still have a government run health care insurance system unlike the USA.

Ok, not going to argue with a countryman. Harper is the best we've had in a long time.

As for health care, I don't know if you have been reading the papers but the US is careening towards Stalinist health care. If Obama gets his way they will be begging for anything close to Canadian health care.
