Another reason why this party will always be seen as crackpots.# If he said he did so cause he was a murdering terrorist or anything like that, then ok, but cause he MAY have died of AIDS is just stupid, scary and evil.

Day stands by his religious beliefs and is described as "scary and evil". George Bush stands by his religious beliefs and is considered a great leader and statesman. The differences between Canada and the United States cannot be better exposed than the reaction displayed here.

I've already said many times that one of the reasons - if not the main reason - I supported Kerry over Bush in the last election was I didn't want religion that close to government.
My reaction to Stockwell Day is consistent with that.

I didn't question your reaction. I just thought that is is very representative of the way Canadians and Americans act when it comes to religion and politics. Canadians take an afront to a politician allowing his religious values to cloud his judgement. Americans tend to embrace it, even with the constitutional ammendment supposed protecting from such actions.
