      Doubtful. FOXNews speaks to a demographic which already existed in the US. It's ridiculously out of tune with anything even close to mainstream in Canada.
      And yet Stephen Harper got 90 something seats last election. Hmmm...

      You're right though, SOME commentators on FOX are pretty far right... but most are pretty in line with what conservatives (small "c") are already thinking in this country. I think it will just give them more of a voice. For better or for worse.

            All conservatives in Canada are Mennonite-Catholics?

              Ottawa, where half the people are from elsewhere.

              Ever been to the Atlantic or Maritimes? The Prairies? Lots of hicks there, mostly WASP.

              Also Southern Ontario is dotted with these insular protestant communities which are very conservative... alot of Dutch Reformers.

                I did business with the Mennonites (old order) north of Waterloo years ago. Very interesting. Most memorable day was when an older guy cracked what I reasoned to be a somewhat off-colour joke....

                Be damned if I can remember the joke now though.

                  Gee Bob, nope, I don't think I'd have a clue about what was going on out in the provinces. If it isn''t in the Toronto Star it didn't happen as far as I'm concerned.

                  I have to wonder if you and I are talking about the same country.

                      Of course there are far less conservatives in Canada proportion wise. I'm just saying that the claim many Canadians make that Canada has NO conservatives is just blatantly false.

                        Of course it is. But I'm wondering if by conservative you mean religious idealogue? If so, you have missed the boat on 90% of Canada's conservatives.

                            It's not a question of whether there are conservatives, it's whether Canadians will buy into the vile and lies spewed by Fox.

                            Canadian conservatives tend to be more civilised than what the Republicans have become.

                              No I don't... but for that matter the majority of American conservatives are not religious idealogues either.

                                True, but its more of the same difference between Northern and Southern Republicans in the US. The point is southerners are monkeys and will believe anything. Friendly as hell though... as long as your not black or queer
