I think the problem as to why the two don't exist side-by-side in one party is that fiscally responsible does not jive well with showering "disaffected" people and groups with taxdollars. Socially progressive in the minds of Canadians means spending gobs money on social programs, spending money on gobs of social programs = deficit which equalts debt, which equals higher taxes which equals poorer eocnomy.
