Our country is conservative, we just don't go to church.

    Its really not. If we had 100% voter turnout, the Conservatives would never be re-elected. Ever wonder why right-wing politics is so keen on voter suppression?

    Yeah...

    The thing is is that voting is easy here. There’s pretty much no reason why the voter turnout in Ontario for Ford should have been ~41% and ~45% except for people being lazy.

    If we had proportional representation, the conservatives would never be in power. Even though I think the apathetic non voting crowd leans more left, I think Doug's populism and marketing would certainly garner some votes if everyone were compelled to vote. And historically, they've really only needed 40% of the for to win.

    Do you really think the liberals aren't conservative? How about when they help weaken unions or when they sent jobs to Mexico or when they the Japanese in prisons or when the sold our electric company in ontario? Tell me when we're they progressive?
