Quite clearly then the majority of Canadians are uninformed about the applicable law in this area.

"elitist liberal"??? I am a Conservative and have been so for the past half-century.  My political philosophy was inspired to two great Conservatives - Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and BC Premier WAC Bennett.  My political and legal mentor was another Conservative - the late Robert Bonner, Sr. - Bennett's long time Attorney General (and later President of forestry giant Macmillan-Bloedell and Chair of BC Hydro) who returned to private legal practice and took me under his wing as a young lawyer and schooled me in politics.

It was Bob who once told me that in politics one does not have to be great or even good... just better than the other guy (or gal).  I cut my teeth as apolitical operative during the Stanfield, Clark and Mulroney years federally and during the Bill Bennett era in BC.

I have opposed successive federal Liberal governments dating back to Pearson..
