In a column on the similarities of the Conservatives and Liberals in terms economics and relation between government and the governed (excessively centrist with elections fought “between the 45-yard lines”) Conrad Black notes that the only major difference between the left and right is abortion:
The right-left distinction is down to Liberal demands for more daycare and the conditionalizing of foreign aid on aggressive abortion programs, and the Bloc Québécois’ leader’s impeachment of the Roman Catholic Church’s defence of the unborn as the most defenceless of all people, as a conspiracy to restrict the freedom of Quebec’s women.
