Wishful thinking. As a nation, we are much more conservative, and the polls show a big "change in attitudes to taxes."
k10ery, I agree with your general assessment as it pertains to now. However, to what extent has this trend played itself out? I sense that the present trend towards a Harper or Ford type conservatism has already peaked out. This is not wishful thinking on my part because I'm not a left-leaning voter. I actually muse with the theoretical idea that an Ontario based red-tory party if formed would utterly decimate the political landscape in this country. We have basically gotten to a point I sense where tax cutting no longer resonate. People don't want tax increases either. What they want is a return to basics. A return to our founding principles, namely: Peace, Order, and Good Government. The current conservative strain is more like Conflict, Order, and Small Government.
