I just think a lot of Conservatives can broaden their perspective on what it means to be globally Conservative if they merge ideas with the Conservative Party of Canada.

The USA Conservative people could take fiscal policy lessons from Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada, who is doing an outstanding job with managing Chrysler’s subsidiaries in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Why don’t USA Conservatives explore what it means to be Conservative in Canada? Canadian Conservatives have family values practices that can guide USA Conservatives.
For example, values where the health of family should be denied to nobody regardless of their ability to pay for insurance because it’s a fundamental right, just like the culture of life.

Also USA Conservatives believe in a right to life and likewise Canadian Conservatives do not support capital punishment for that reason.

USA Conservatives believe in freedom and liberty and so do Canadian Conservatives, that’s why you are free in Manitoba, Canada to Harvest Hemp seeds where in USA it’s illegal.

US Conservatives do not believe in government coercion and so do Canadian Conservatives, that’s why Canadian Conservatives would never coerce the leader of a foreign country, Iraq, to disarm or be disarmed.

USA Conservatives believe in profitable energy independence and so do Canadian Conservatives, that’s why Canadian Conservatives get their oil from Alberta crude and not from Saudi Arabia.

USA Conservatives believe in free enterprise, so do Canadian Conservatives. That’s why Canadian Conservatives believe not in “buy Canada only” or “Buy American” slogans but instead believe in supplying Softwood Lumber just like America freely provides Cinema.

So why can’t USA Conservatives assemble with Canadian Conservatives?

Also Obama people should be closer to Ignetieff.

And Ralph Nader should get to know Elizabeth May.

and Dennis Kucinich should become friends with Jack Layton.

And Sotomayor should become friends with Gil Duceppe.
and in Canada religion is valued highly enough that no Government or state has the right to intervene or use religion or faith as a tool for any legislative policy or initiative. What is this “faith-based” initiative stuff?
FYI I’m American, not Canadian, I just know a lot about my neighbors (neighbours) to the north
