And their goal is to remake Canada in the image of the US
There is a high concentration of conservatives in the party, so they typically have conservative social and economic platforms.

So by your logic the US is predominantly social and fiscally conservative?Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

So they got lucky, it won't happen next time. They're way down in the polls.Originally posted by notyoueither
I was thinking more along the lines of them being the Official Opposition, because they have the second largest number of MPs in the country.
You might also note that they received quite a few votes in Ontario last go around.
But, that wouldn't fit your quaint little games, now would it?
btw, nice attempt at introducing 'bashing' as being significant. Ohhhh, the irony!Comment

Well duh, your a civiled nation you should be able to protect yourself.U.S. would be there for Canada?!?! Yea riiiiight! Only if there's money for the U.S. to make at the end of the line, otherwise we would'nt even here from them.
U.S. only helps others if they have something to gain from it....Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try. -HomerComment

I hope so. However, it is inaccurate to depict them as a bunch of loonies from Red Neck country, as some people consistently attempt to do.Originally posted by Willem

on a lighter note: from that 70's show:

Kelso: That's Canada. They don't make gross generalizations about people, because they're too busy playing hockey, being mounties, or putting syrup on their ham."I've lived too long with pain. I won't know who I am without it. We have to leave this place, I am almost happy here."

You'd also have to look at the percentage of the voters in the ridings voting Alliance. I suspect that will be higher in Alberta, though I could be wrong. And the party did have it's beginning there.Originally posted by notyoueither
Nice try.
More CA MPs come from BC, than Alberta (Alberta returned a higher percentage though; 23 of 26 vs 26 of 34). They took over half of Saskatchewan, a few in Manitoba and a couple in Ontario.
That's not their only platform though. In many areas, they have a great deal of similarity with the Republicans in the US. And an elected upper house is hardly an Alliance thing, many people would like to see it, myself included.I wouldn't say they are after an American image. Elected upper houses are being discussed in Westminster now, too.Last edited by Willem; March 26, 2003, 22:03.Comment

Well if they're going to be electing leaders like Stockwell Day, what do you expect?Originally posted by notyoueither

I think I actually prefer Day to Steven Harper. Day was a buffoon, but Harper just comes off as a jackass.Well if they're going to be electing leaders like Stockwell Day, what do you expect?
I think it might just be the timing.
