Canadian conservatives

Those Canadian conservatives are just plain incomprehensible. From the Globe and Mail: "Tories vote to support traditional marriage"

The Conservatives have put forth a policy platform that contains a large number of fairly moderate proposals. However, there are some that the Canadian population will undoubtedly find controversial .

The undoubtedly "controversial" measures?

• Support of traditional marriage. (Shocker!)
• Delegates voted in favour of two-tier health care. (The same privilege MPs and the rich have.)
• They voted to elect Supreme Court judges in the House of Commons. (Rather than appointment for life by the dominant political party. One-third from Quebec.)
• Other policy resolutions includes eliminating all defences for the possession of child pornography. (What defense is there for child pornography? None unless you are judge who thinks they have "artistic merit" even if they are pornographic.)
• Raising the age of consent to 16. (From 14)
• Review the Kyoto accord to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (But, but, the Liberals hoped to sell all those pollution credits to China!!)
• Return to the table with the Americans on missile defence. (Instead of grandstanding.)
• Repeal the much-loathed gun-registry. (That cost $1.5 billion and still doesn't work. And since when did the Globe and Mail loathe the registry????)

Gonna be tough times in Canada actually having two political parties.
