Have voted Conservative in the past when I found out Joe Clark would rather not lie.

I voted for Joe too. What did his honesty get him? The shortest term in Canadian history. He would have been good if given a chance. That said I voted against his successor. Mulroney has his own place in hell reserved.

If I took a few steps to the right, I'd be a Socialist. So yeah, there are more than Conservatives on staff.

I have a question...

*waves hand in the air*

This is the Political Ideology forum. How has it become The Conservative Forum? Is discussion of Socialism not allowed here or have the Rupert Murdoch's of this world actually grabbed the golden ring on this, the Merry-Go-Round of ATS politics?

Reminds me a bit of The Harper Government header on all current federal documents

The moderators here are Conservatives? I have not even noticed that. But perhaps it is due to the criteria for being a Conservative today is to be nothing more than a non-radical Liberal. There have been no moderators, and very few members, who are actually Conservative. Besides, Conservatism when actually employed is not an ideology, it is a philosophy.

Anyway, do not let my ranting spoil your vibrant discussion.

ok cool, this clears things up. it just seemed as though all the mods i'd come across were conservatives and that every single thread that was stickied was a conservative thread which was a bit disconcerting (and still is).

as to the assertion that this is the conservative forum, since when? last i checked this was the forum on "Political Ideology".

Thanks for the FSME translation. I did meet Clark...he was just known as Joe Who? for a piece...and was pictured a lot wearing idiot mittens.

And I don't live on the Rock...though I was screeched-in in the middle of St. John's harbour.
