Yep, that social climate. I hate it too. But anyone who thinks it's a socially conservative attitude is kidding themselves. It's not older, rural, religious, tax-hating Albertans who won't let their kids in a pool without a life jacket, or let them walk home from school. It's the educated, liberal suburbanites - the same people who vote for candidates who campaign on building more schools and improving access to health care.
