GAY COMMUNITY UNITED IN STANCE AGAINST PM: POLL – National Post
“While gay men tend to vote Liberal and lesbians back the NDP, Canada’s homosexual population is united in its opposition to the Conservatives, according to a new report.” “The hostility there is dramatic … these are numbers that are worse than the NDP gets in much of the country.”
“The survey found those who identified themselves as gay were more likely to be students and under the age of 35 compared with the general population. In addition, the gay population tended to be concentrated in major cities such as Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. Few lived in communities with fewer than 100,000 people”
“The report also found that nearly 40% of gay voters cited morality issues such as same-sex marriage as well as abortion as their top concern in the last election, compared with less than 10% of the straight population.”

So if you grow tired of all the US election drama, you can always turn your attention to the dark comedy playing out on the Canadian political stage. Limited engagement, only until October 14th – but well worth the price of admission (still free, even with the exchange rate).

EDITORIAL: OBAMA’S AMERICA IS CANADA
“What kind of “change” does Barack Obama want? He seeks to transform America into Canada. Mr. Obama is not proposing “new politics,” but is a champion of the well-known, already enacted policies in the Great White North. …voters should examine the Canadian record. Canada is on the whole a gentler, softer and more liberal nation — but there is also less freedom, opportunity, prosperity, competition and dynamism.”
