Some are , some arenot, there is a whole spectrum same as here.BUT THEY ALL TEND TO BE FISCAL CONNSERVATIVES.Witness their banking and investing system. No mortgages granted without submitting a tax return to a lender, for example, like they did and still do here at times.Bank and investing oversight that WORKS.Thats fiscal conservatism at work.

Way to go, Canada!!
Thank you for reminding me. I was a Canadian (so was my husband) and my parents and sisters still are (so are his) ... last night I made a comment to them that if things didn’t get better here soon, we might go back ... and then you reminded me of one of the reasons we like it here. I will never be able to survive Ontario winters again. I will think of that and work harder in 2012 to bring the change we need.

Was that a typo, or are you trying to confuse yourself, or worse, me? In my book, Tories = Conservatives = Traditionalists. Unless, as you imply, there really is a "higher Tory" among traditionalists, which would surely be gilding the lilly. Of course, we can always try harder, can't we, striving justifiably.
The Liberals appear to have been the “moderate socialists”, while the NDP are openly socialist. The Canadian people seem to have decided to stop being moderate, and either go with the conservatives or the socialists.
The long gun registry will be toast now. I am thankful as a registered clay shooter myself. Not sure about the hand gun laws though.
Lol - that’s what I said to one of our suppliers who dropped in this morning and asked how I was.
I said, “Well, Osama Bin Laden is dead and Canada has a majority Conservative government.....how can I be anything but good!”
Yes, we now have Sun News, Canada’s answer to Fox!
We have much work to do here, “righting” the wrongs of liberalism.
Keep in mind, our tax freedom day is near the middle of July! That is largely because of our “free” health care. Truly disgusting.
Thank you for those links. They answered several of my questions. Unfortunately, as I suspected, there is little or no encouragement for pro-lifers or social conservatives in this election, other than that the most radical life haters and Marxists are not in the majority.
Oh man, living in Toronto, I am witnessing a full-on meltdown - lefty heads are exploding everywhere, what a sight!
Wow - wish I could experience THAT! Although, I am surrounded by Hamiltonians for the most part and Hamilton went NDP, as usual. Between labour unions and public education, it’s little wonder Hamilton is so far left.
Despite their gains, surely you are witnessing some pea-soup spitting lefties freaking over the Harper majority, no?
Good job Canada.
Yep, a gorgeous Aircraft, and they will be running off the Russians in the Canadian North.
