Although they'd like to get more power through Harper, if he bends to them too much, he'll never get elected, never mind the majority that he's seeking.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258386.post-1161729637080713192006-10-24T15:40:00.000-07:002006-10-24T15:40:00.000-07:00l-girl,Sure hope you're right about this.The damag...l-girl,<BR/><BR/>Sure hope you're right about this.<BR/><BR/>The damage these people can do in a short period of time is extremely disturbing . . . .West End Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05757317517075393438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258386.post-1161649109631285962006-10-23T17:18:00.000-07:002006-10-23T17:18:00.000-07:00And I say this as someone who was sounding the ala...And I say this as someone who was sounding the alarm - to deaf ears - about the Religious Right's influence in the U.S. in the early 1980s, not as someone who woke up to it in 2000.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258386.post-1161649037965518622006-10-23T17:17:00.000-07:002006-10-23T17:17:00.000-07:00It's not apathy.

It's a recognition of the very real differences between the two countries. <BR/><BR/>I appreciate the concern - we should all be concerned, and vigilant. But there are many differences that make it highly unlikely that Canada will go down the same path as the U.S. And they are differences that have been there for 50, 100 years - not just current trends. <BR/><BR/>There's a reason that Americans are more worried about this than Canadians.laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258386.post-1161647882699412682006-10-23T16:58:00.000-07:002006-10-23T16:58:00.000-07:00How true.It still bothers me that a lot of folks d...How true.<BR/><BR/>It still bothers me that a lot of folks don't show any concern over this trend in our future home.
