I hate having parties that need to be conservative on everything or liberal on everything. We need a party that's a little bit of both.

The Chretien/Martin Liberals were simultaneously fiscally conservative (although perhaps not to the extent many big-C Conservative Albertans would have liked) and socially liberal. While in power from 1993-2006, they lowered both personal and corporate taxes, balanced the budget, and started paying down the national debt while also passing progressive social legislation like legalizing gay marriage.
