I always saw Canada as more liberal. I always though I might flee there one day.

Read their wikipedia page and decide for yourself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conserv...arty_of_Canada

Compared to the US, it is. Compared to, say, Scandinavia? We're more conservative.

May it always be that way

no thanks. i'd rather at least some bastion of goodness to exist on this continent.

this assumes of course that liberalness = goodness. And this is coming from someone who advocates that humans cannot make chocies and descisions, that we are all animals, cannot make descisions for ourselves, and there is no real moral code in this universe or world.

Well, as far as Canadian elections go, I think this is one of the better ones. And now, I shall go to bed, and wake to a bunch of analysis of the electoral results.

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Well I suppose congratulations are in order for the NDP on getting their best result ever. Yay Social Democracy!

As a Canadian who is Liberal (My reasoning for this is because your a member of "Gateworlders Against Racism and Discrimination") what would you like to see happen in your homeland?
