I’ve been harping on this theme forever. I wrote a column alluding to it (several times). I stressed it in my radio interview the other day.
Now there’s a handy poll to back me up. Canadians are conservatives. They just need to figure that out. Then admit it, then call the liberals on what they’re saying (constantly, over and over), then yell it out for all to hear, and ummm, there’s one other thing, I think it’s…. oh yeah….. VOTE CONSERVATIVE.
Canadians hold positions closer to the Conservative party than the governing Liberals on a host of policy issues, according to a new National Post poll.
The survey, conducted for the Post by COMPAS Inc., shows that average Canadian voters rank their opinions as closer to those of the Conservatives on seven major issues, including preserving the traditional definition of marriage, tougher criminal sentencing laws and freedom of choice in health care.
Conrad Winn, the president of COMPAS, which surveyed 688 Canadians between March 11 and 13, said “the Conservatives have an amazing but unrealized advantage over the Liberals because the public sees themselves as closer to the Conservatives than the Liberals on many issues, but it’s not an advantage that [the Conservatives] are able to realize because policy is only a small part of why people vote the way they do.”
Respondents were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with a series of 10 policy statements, based on a seven-point scale where seven means “strongly agree.”
On seven of the 10 statements, the voters positioned their views closer to the perceived Conservative position than the perceived Liberal position.
Asked whether, for example, it is important to preserve the law defining marriage as between a man and a woman, the respondents’ average score was 4.6. They thought the Tory position was slightly stronger—4.8 out of seven—and put the Liberal position some distance away from their own, at 3.4.

And that’s with an overtly liberal media, some of it being state-owned and operated by and for liberals, an overtly left-wing (downright Marxist in some cases) academia, and other influences such as Hollywood and the even more liberal Hollywood “North”.
