And Canada's conservatives, being the under-represented, oppressed minority that they are, are apparently gearing up to start another right-wing social club where they can get together to compare how much they don't like gays and perhaps swap their favourite Bible verses, as we can read here.
The article suggests that their goal will be to promote "traditionalist" values, but one has to wonder just how they're going to fill their time.
SPEAKER: Now, then, our first order of business. Voting on the resolution that we don't like homosexuals. All in favour?
CROWD: AYE!
SPEAKER: Right, then, um ... well, that's pretty much the day's agenda, isn't it? Thanks for coming.
I do appreciate the unintentional hilarity in the final paragraph:
The institute aims to recruit top-level academics and pollsters in anticipation it will be viewed as a radical fringe element.
Note to institute: If academics are truly top-level, they already think you're a bunch of loons. You might want to set your sights a little lower.
