Luckily, my immediate family (brother, sisters, kids) is at least liberal, and most of us NDP. I am probably the furthest left of us all. I doubt my cousins agree with us politically, except one, but they're practically strangers to me, except one.

One of the girls dated a rightwingnut for a while. They fought. He was a dick. She kicked him to the curb, thankfully, with a "what was I thinking" sort of self awareness.

Most of Canada's elected Conservatives nowadays aren't of the Robert Stanfield or even Joe Clark kind, not of thoughtful, well-considered, less partisan, respectful, and tolerent kind.

No subject is taboo for family discussion for us, but we haven't been severely tested on the political front.

Peace, Mooh.
