Boy, things keep getting worse and worse for the Conservative Party of Canada.
On the front page of the Globe and Mail today, we learn that "Christian activists" are securing nominations for Conservative ridings across Canada. I'm sure this scares some people. I, however, read the piece with that combination of dread and humour you usually reserve for America's Funniest Home Videos. In this piece, you see, Stephen Harper is the dad who's about to get kicked in the nuts by his kid. After nurturing the religious- and social-conservatives of Canada by throwing them gay-marriage red meat - after doing so much to make sure that this ticking wingnut time bomb is young, healthy, and strong - religious Conservatives are going to be running in places like Ontario, which already thinks the CPC is nuts.
Now, Harper had a tough enough time keeping his prospective MPs muzzled in the last election. Does anyone seriously believe he'll have an easier time riding herd on a bunch of God-crazed fundies? The next election is going to be too fun for words - personally, I think we need to start a network: Left, center, and moderate-right bloggers should make sure to keep an eye on their local CPC candidate, and make sure to publicize any crazy-ass thing they say.
Who's with me?
