A SIGN OF HOPE UP NORTH?:

The Heart of the New West: All Canadian, All-Conservative, All the Time (J.L. Jackson, Mar 12, 2004, Human Events)

Because Canada's population is so comparatively small to the United States (our entire population and then some fits into the state of California) it is easy not to notice Canada's seemingly invisible and so very fractured conservative movement. Why would Americans notice there are conservatives in Canada, when Canadians have not noticed them at the polls (except for the Brian Mulroney blip) for nigh unto thirty years?

But finally, at last, a seemingly new kid on the block has taken the bull by the horns in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

A new coalition of Canadian conservative intellectuals is gravitating towards Ezra Levant, constitutional lawyer and author of Fight Kyoto and Youthquake, and now publisher of the Western Standard. Levant has recruited such notables as binational and international conservative pundits like Mark Steyn and David Frum.

Bi? Mr Steyn is at least Tri, maybe Quadri, but he's a Hampshireman in the end.
