The spectrum is moving left, Canada! Get ready for a new push even FURTHER left! Maybe the Conservative Party DOES have a hidden agenda after all!
To nobody’s surprise, the Conservative Party, on the eve of their mid-March convention, seems bent on being the party of liberals under a different name. And if that happens, we’ll be left to choose from liberal ideas “A”, and liberal ideas “B”, for our fantastic Canada in the next election. Canada will continue to slide leftward, and downward.
Undaunted, I’ll personally be voting and working for conservative ideals and against liberalism for Canada. I can, and will be happy to turn my vitriol and invective on Conservative Party people just as easily as I do the liberal-left—the definition of which may or may not include the Conservative Party after the march convention.
I may have to start insisting they change the name of the party to “Not-Exactly-the-Liberal Party But Good-‘n-Liberal, Please Love Us Because All We Want Is Power, Party”. I figure that will earn the Liberal Party of Canada another shot, as well it should.
They remind me of the hideous British Columbia “Conservative Party”, which recently declared that they would fill that gap between the extreme-left socialist NDP and the less socialist BC Liberals, thus rendering them further left than the BC Liberals. That’s not conservatism, that’s politics run amok.
Canadians will lap it up of course, especially liberal-lefties, because they will use it to prove that they were right all along—that the country wants to move left into pure socialism and beyond. Thus they will use this as their new launching pad—their new starting point. Get ready for more social programs now that they’re getting new life breathed into them.
Harper Backing Resolution That Conservative Policy Will Take No Stand on Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage or Other Social Conservative Issues
Conservative Party to Officially Become “No Stand, Hidden Agenda Party”?
OTTAWA, February 28, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) — Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper recently told his caucus that the party leadership will be backing a resolution at the upcoming policy convention that would institute an official policy of not taking any position on abortion, same-sex marriage or other social conservative issues.
LifeSiteNews.com was told by a party source that Harper conveyed this shocking news to his mostly social conservative caucus at a Feb. 15 caucus meeting. The informant is deeply concerned about the leader’s on-going efforts to take the party further to the left and well away from the distinct alternative given voters under the previous Alliance/Reform banners.
The leader explained the new policy as being necessary to ensure victory in the next election. However, it appears that caucus members may no longer buy this often dis-proved direction from the top that has cost them repeatedly in the past. Pro-life and pro-family leaders are also becoming weary of repeatedly pointing out to Reform/Alliance and now Conservative leaders that strong social conservative candidates have not only not been hurt at the polls for their stance but in most cases have attracted critical additional votes from Canadians who value principled candidates.
Campaign Life Coalition has emphasized that the Conservatives were polling much better when abortion was a prominent issue in the last election. Conversely, support for the party dropped dramatically when the focus changed to only economic and other non-social issues.
Jim Hughes of Campaign Life Coalition has made it widely known that the Conservatives lost the last election by foolishly avoiding the hot same-sex marriage issue, especially considering that a large majority of Canadians oppose marriage re-definition.
Canadians were looking for one party to stand up for marriage and family but, as usual, the Conservatives foolishly allowed social liberal inner circle strategists to convince them that taking any stand in favour of life or family would hurt them at the polls. Almost all evidence to date has been that just the opposite happens. Unapologetic, principled Conservative and Liberal Party candidates have generally fared far above average during elections and tend to have a high rate of re-election.
The Conservative Party’s first-ever and therefore most crucial policy Convention is scheduled to begin on March 17 in Montreal.
