Social conservatives are being increasingly squelched and alienated by the power ascendant fiscal conservatives who see them as an albatross to strategic power alliances with elements of Canada's socially liberal establishment. Despite this, as Dennis Gruending wrote in a November 2007 article, the Fraser Institute apparently receives most of its funding from social conservatives.
To which I can only say to folks like Deborah and co.. Yes! Its true that you're being squelched! The fiscal Conservatives are getting all those regressive tax cuts, and all you have to show for it is that lousy fake abortion bill! Its time to withdraw from the political arena altogether, or at least switch your vote from the CPoC to these guys! Its the only way to maintain your principles!
PS. When using comments on other blogger blogs, I notice a third method of commenting not available on mine, where you can enter a name/url as here. How do I rig comments to get that option working?
