The more I think of it, the more I'm relieved that Canadian conservatism is an entirely different creature from American conservatism.
I'd rather deal with my Tories, thank you. And to think that these conservatives actually have a legitimate left-wing politics to contend with. You know, elected politicians who are members of parties that float out in left field, with little concern about the centre. We even have sovereigntists sitting in national seats.
The way the political spectrum is discussed, I'm assuming many Americans have no idea what it's like up here in the Great White North. It's all really quite fascinating contrasting our two nations. It always has been.
