Matt in Miss.,
I pretty sure that you cannot vote in a EU country even with an EU passport unless you have resided in that country for at least a year. I’m not sure how other countries handle this. I know that if you are an American citizen you can vote no matter where you reside.
Robert W – as good of a post as I’ve read.
Geez I can hardly wait to see what Iggy and the Libranos and the dippers have to say. The camps they are a coming. All the hard work to mold us into proper PC citizens has gone to waste and will have to be restarted. Oh the shame.

“Finally, Maclean’s itself sniffs: ‘Canadians might try a little soul searching.'”
Note to Maclean’s: if I need any advice on soul-searching, I’ll talk to my parish priest, thank you.
cconn: Yes, one can vote in the EU parliament elections without living there.
wow…i participated in that poll…I was SURE that the results would get swept under the rug, and was shocked that they would even select a respondent in Alberta to participate.
It’s been obvious for a very long time that the average Joe isn’t buying into the nonsense of the leftard elite.
Why do you think they need charter-crushing HRC’s? Thought police are required in order to force people into publicly pretending that up is down. People will always know better but if they are afraid to speak out, the state gets to do what it wants and those who see the truth are marginalized and irrelevant.
It starts in schools. They terrorize the students from a young age that non-elite opinion will be persecuted mercilessly – unlike actual criminal behaviour which is to be dismissed. In fact, if a principle DARES kick a bad seed out of the school, they are forced to take another school’s bad seed in return.
One of the central tenants of Marx was that in order to create the new utopian society, the “old order” had to be destroyed (“swept away” in commie-talk.) This is the elites creating their own, top-down version of Marxist idiocy through the back door in increments. It’s slow-motion communism. They clearly didn’t learn from the other attempts.

I’m with Kathy.
Political correctness kills.
ET: You’ve brought up the Australian thing about requiring immigrants to sign a document affirming Australian values. To your knowledge, has Australia ever ejected a signee who failed to meet the terms of the agreement. I ask because it seems to me that if there are no examples of such, it’s just a bureaucratic formality.
I loved Kathy’s essay. It’s a quite original argument: the notion that it’s not really racism the elites are concerned about (a very large percentage of whom a virulent Jew-haters) but rather a kind of class war against the rubes who have untutored natural feelings and express rude opinions.
As to the question: if most citizens are more conservative than their rulers, why have liberals succeeded so phenomenally in their great march through the insitutions, I say: conservatives hold a individualist philosophy and therefore don’t organize. The collectivist left on the other hand is fabulously well-organized and on so many, many fronts. Like life insurance, conservatism needs to be sold, and sold, and sold some more.
You know how after the great Reagan Revolution we used to joke: The Hippies Lost! Well, my friends, they didn’t did they? They re-grouped, developed new sales pitches, and they WON the long war.
I think Canadians are starting to realise that “multiculturalism” means changing everything from language to everyday habits, something they are unwilling to do. Things like Sharia law make them wince and cannot be stomached in their own communities. And really, are we doing immigrants any favours by excluding them from their obligations as neighbours and citizens? If you teach them English, they will talk to you. If you expect them to work hard, they will make the economy run. If their kids play with your kids, they will see their wishes for a better life realised. Why would liberals not want this? Oh yes- they stink.
On my way home in the car, I heard an ad for Macleans on the radio that referred to this poll. Apparently Canadians are “not as tolerant as we think we are”. Ha! That’s a good one, and it’s especially true if we extend the definition of a “Canadian” to include anyone who lives in Canada, not just bona fide, birth-certificate-carrying or citizenship-certificate-carrying individulas, since so many “new Canadians” have little or no tolerance for the vast majority of the people they meet when they get here!
When will our leaders realize that when people come here from other countries, they don’t want to “learn about us” or “know us” or “work with us”; they just want “our stuff”! Our jobs, our food, our SUVs, our electronic toys, and all the rest of our “first world” lifestyle. Of course, they somehow intend to accommodate all of that alongside their ancient, hallowed, tribal religious beliefs, their misogynism, their classism, and their own version of “racism”. (Just what the h_ll is a “race” anyway?)
I don’t think it was especially gutsy or brave of Macleans to publish this poll. It was a good, practical business decision. Their business is to sell copies, sell advertising, and people will want to read about this “disturbing” poll, and argue about it, and complain about it….
Just look at the fallout here, and the d__n thing hasn’t even hit the newsstands yet!!
Kudos to Dick Harris, Conservative MP.
Harris knows: Our Enemy, the State.
The State is a terrorist cannibal.

“Tory MP compares taxman to terrorists
OTTAWA — A Conservative MP who intervened in a dispute between a constituent and the Canada Revenue Agency likened the government’s tax collector to the terrorist organization Hezbollah and alleged it “abuses” Canadians.
Dick Harris also called the agency “bastards” in an email to the wife of a businessman he was trying to help deal with the CRA over an erroneous $1-million tax bill.”
