The Canadian “right” is closest to the US “left”. Canadian's have no equivalent to McCain or Bush. The US has no equivalent to Dion/May/Duceppe/Layton, except maybe Nader.

What the hell?? I hate Harper as much as most Quebecois, but everybody knows he's clearly no where near as extreme as Bush. Is this posting based simply on ignorance, or tried instead to be disingenuous about it? Gotta keep that PC rage in check man…

Harper the Canadian George Bush? Meh. George H.W. Bush, maybe.

“Canadian George Bush” is a big exaggeration. Canada is more like Europe when it comes to its political divide: “conservative” (big “C” or little “c”) isn't remotely as right-wing as it is in the States, at least not application (rhetoric is another story).
