On the pro-family vote.

Any one of the federal 'Liberal' pro-life and pro-'family' MPs could have stopped Martin's up n' coming same-sex bill dead in its tracks by crossing the same floor as career-successful Belinda Stronach did, who had nary a particular principle in mind (if anything).

The moderate Canadian Conservatives are another piece of work. Liberal is as liberal does, not what it names itself. One day Harper doesn't want anything to do with pro-life or pro-family groups; the next, Harper sees a wave of same-sex agenda discontent, and breaks the emergency glass for his polling surf board.

The Canadian media, crucial to the liberal establishment, say nil about a core social-conservative movement that has swept the United States in politics, the opinion media, and soon the judiciary; or the fact that there is a federal and a provincial party in this country. Social conservative parties are the only true pro-life, pro-family parties in this country, and a vote for them, if nothing else, is the only first step and a clear directive to Canadian politicians (who look for the newest place to be led and populist values to adopt) to change.
