Send any you know out - we'll work on them!
I'm not sure what it is out here - it is different - I grew up in Southern Ontario and moved here after University (30 years ago) so I can confirm that there is a cultural attitude difference, something I've never been able to put my finger on.
As you say, It might be the Chinooks or the high altitude, either way, there are a bunch of Conservatives out here. |

And it feels great! Social peace here. No infight. The numerous immigrants integrate well. I just love it. And the few leftists either leave (yessss) or gather on CBC's website.  |

I had the opportunity to spend a number of months in Calgary back in 1986. Coming from the Great White North, the climate to me was downright tropical and relaxing in the so-called winter. If employment prospects had been better I would have stayed ...... I hope to bring the family out there in the future to see it again; what a joy it would be to escape the socialist Utopia of Ontario.  |

Never been. My Mom's sister and her family live in Red Deer. She's a Nurse and my Uncle is retired RCMP. I love ontario, but being conservative here and in your 20s is hard! |

I am not surprised and I think we need to sit back and watch what happens in the weeks and months ahead. I have worked and lived in 12 of Canada's major cities. I believe that the major reason that Western seperation didn't gain traction many years back was because Preston Manning convinced folks that a try for inclusion into the political process was the way to go. We need to thank Mr Manning for that.
Today we are at a cross roads and we need to stop this cabal of bastards from destroying our Nation. Every day and at every opportunnity we need to get our message out across this land.
Folks out here are afraid of what the terrible people are doing to our country Next week if and when Dion resigns we need to not cheer but point out to Canadians the feeding frenzy for Power that Layton and Bob Rae have.
This fight for the hearts and minds of Canadians may be our final battle if we do not convince enough folks to hold confederatiokn together. I am having a column published this week titled "Is It Time to Say Goodbye". I will Post a link when the paper hits the streets. These initiative to break away are a symptom and a resuilt of the terrible damage that Layton/rae and company are doing to the tapestry of Canada. They may not care, but I sure do.
The greatest achievement that Steven Harper has accomplished is to include folks out here in the political process of Canada. It would a tragedy if we lost that.
Fight on and never, never surrender |

The real threat of Alberta separatism is in the kitchens of Alberta, where it remains a softly spoken issue. There are few Albertans who have not considered the idea of separating, and I think the only thing that could facilitate that would be this coalition government. At least in the near future.
But with that seemingly falling apart, I wouldnt worry too much. |

True. But if it does, I'm packing my bags and heading west |

| There is alot of Conservative supporters in Ontario. It keeps growing. Let the Lieberals bury themselves. Only Toronto is communist, the 905 is slowly turning blue. Have faith. Fight the media and those left leaning universities. |

| Ontario is mostly Conservative. Toronto is mostly Liberal and I don't know if it is the Universities (though Guelph is Conservative), most likely because it is mostly immigrants who always vote for the party who let them in. |

Have faith & educate eniough conservatives to take over the university system. Real Liberals, (that is the real centralists are welcome to join). |

It'll never happen. While conservatives are wise enough to see the value of education, they finish school and get a real job to pay off their student loans... unlike liberals who go into government jobs like education where they get a guaranteed salary, pension and perks.

Canadians were slowly waking to the fact of the socialist mess the Trudeau liberals have created in Canada. This coalition idea is the alarm clock going off.
All regions of Canada are waking up even Quebec. The CPC is up to 32% in Quebec in the latest polls. So much for a national unity crisis because the CPC attacked the seperatists. |

| The concervatives have a bad image in this country because we don't lie about the issues. We are not politically correct. If you want people to respect concervatives we have to dystroy political correctness from the youth up. |

We have raised $200,000 in under 2 weeks.
You will be a little surprised at some former MP's that are involved with us.
We are forming the council next week.
This reminds me of arrogant Tories that underestimated Reform.
I like the fact that you think we are only on the sidelines.
This is more fun. |
