In the UK, I would never have dreamed of voting for the Conservatives, and if lived in Canada, I imagine I would support the NDP.
Nevertheless, this piece, written from what seems to be a Canadian Tory perspective, interested me.
My response stems not only from a fascination with Canadian history and identity/identities, but also from a recognition that social democrats like me should consider rather than dismiss out of hand certain Tory understandings of history and culture.
A little part of me died when I read about those who think that there was a "president of Canada" named Tim Horton.
