OMG... (I voted in this btw).

CBC politicized Canada Day with `The Great Canadian Wishlist"

Its a youth outreach thing where the CBC in association with StudentVote and Facebook holds a program on Facebook where you submit wishes for Canada and add your support to wishes.

The Top wishes that were tallied for Canada Day:

1) Abolish Abortion in Canada
2) Keep Canada Pro-Choice
3) Spiritual Revival in Canada
4) Ban Same-Sex Marriage
5) Lower or eliminate tuition fees

Pro CBC I see

[westmanguy]

yes poor CBC! Liberal values were not the supported wishes!

Go Conservative values!

[newfette]

yes way to rip free choice from canadians... good on ya..

[westmanguy]

so its not a "choice" if we support Conservative values?

and its not Canadian to have Conservative values?

[newfette]

in my personal opinion 'conservative values' are a freaking joke.

it is my choice to believe that

[westmanguy]

It doesn't mean my values are any lesser than your and it doesn't mean its not my "free choice" to have these values.

[newfette]

dont most conservative followers belive that gay marribe should be allowed or that abortions should be abolished??

[stratos]

$1:

1) Abolish Abortion in Canada
2) Keep Canada Pro-Choice

Interesting top 2 choices. Canada seems as divided on this topic as America is.

[westmanguy]

Did what you mean to say was:

Don't most Conservative followers believe that gay marriage should *not* be allowed and/or abortions should be abolished??

If thats what you mean, than:

Their is different types of "Conservatism"

Red Tory - ties with Britain, monarch, similar to UK, etc.

Americanization - small government, democratic government system, more power to provinces

Religious/Soical issues - gay marriage, abortion, etc.

Economically conservative - low taxes, low amount of social programs, etc.

Their is different types of Conservatisms, none of us fit under the same banner.

Bad idea.

The value of a university education means that one will, on average, earn 40% more per year, each and every year, over their lifetimes. The families of college students tend to be well off. Thus, you have a regressive system where resources are transfered from the less-well-to-do to the better off.

That's not particularly good policy.

Not me or my chums. I'm pro-choice and pro-ssm. But I do hate liberals. I'm just bad really.
