If Harper himself isn't scary, take a look at this little bit of trivia where someone has tried to detail the links between the CPC and various social conservative organizations with their roots in the United States.
I have a sneaking feeling that if I dug a little deeper, I could add a few more connections.
I haven't followed all of the research links, but the author has tried to document their sources, so I'll give them at least some credit for making the effort. When you combine that with Mr. Harper complaining that the judiciary is a bunch of "partisan hacks", I think that Canadians who see themselves as progressively minded and egalitarian have a great deal to worry about should the CPC be elected to anything that resembles a majority government next week. God help you if you are a woman, gay or lesbian, or a member of any minority population that isn't donating hugely to the CPC.
Just to round things out, we have Myron Thompson musing about abortion over here.
Someone convince me that the CPC has changed from its Reform/Alliance roots when the extremists hijacked the party from Preston Manning (who was actually moderating things...)... Please?
