While I LOVE Canada, they recently elected the Conservatives to power, albeit a minority government. The new PM has suggested banning abortions and will be introducing legislation to ban gay marriage. They don't have the votes to get either through, but it looks as if the Great White North may be heading to the right.
In any event, sure the Republicans are trying to drive the US to the right, at the same time, they're going further down in the opinion polls. This is why they're talking about banning abortion and gay adoption. They know this will charge a certain percentage of their base. In other words, they're desperate! This is their attempt at holding on to power. That's all it is. I see this nothing more as a desperate attempt at retaining power. The problem for them is that the situation in Iraq is becoming less popular in the US, the Republican leadership is constantly in the news for facing criminal charges, and many in this country feel the Republicans are selling this country out.
