My, my, my...

I've asserted that the CPC in general has far too many ties to extreme Religious Conservative groups in the United States before.

We have our first signs of an emboldened invasion of Canada's political space from these goons out of the United States appearing this week:

Focus on the Family (Canada) is being augmented by Chief Rotting Cryptkeeper James Dobson with a "Think Tank" called Institute of Marriage and Family Canada.

If you thought the Fraser Institute was blindly ideological, these guys are likely to make the Fraser Institute look like a bunch of open-minded college students by comparison. Where the Fraser Institute is mostly focused on economic issues, this bunch is focused on doing everything in their power to suppress people. I've spent enough time perusing Dobson's website, and the so-called "facts" he likes to spout, to be quite sure that these people will be pushing a lot of pseudo science to justify their extremist positions. (For example the utterly indefensible work of Paul Cameron's Family Research Institute (I just love how these people are trying to cloak their narrow-minded hypocrisy in the language of "research")

I find the timing of this bunch appearing decidedly suspicious - mere weeks after an election in Canada that elected a "conservative" government.
