David, I believe Canadians have - on several occassions. Depending on how you define "social conservative" of course. Jean Chretien and Paul Martin were both adamantly opposed to same sex marriage (until they weren't). Paul Martin, when he first ran for leader, promised to ban abortions. Chretien insisted he was pro-life. Trudeau, certainly fiscally "ultra-Liberal" promised the Cardinal of Toronto that he would use the notwithstandinig clause to strike down any court ruling that allowed abortion. So what's your litmus test for being "sociallly conservative"? If it's based on who funds Pride festivals, then the current government isn't - as your own previous post showed, what with all the funding that has gone to various events. In fact, didn't the head of the Montreal Pride festival come out and say the current government has been a better partner than the previous Liberal government? In fact, didn't Liberal Senator Art Eggleton, as mayor of Toronto, block Toronto from having any Pride events for six years? So, just like you're having difficulty stating what you mean by "fiscally ultra-liberal" I think you probably need to figure out what you mean by "socially conservative", because it seems like the current government you're criticizing is no more nor less "socially conservative" than previous Liberal and Conservative governments
