Heck, there are people on this site that are willing to vote for them if it gets Calgary some arena cash.
on another note,
I have a friend that has changed. Used to be a pretty reasonable mainstream conservative, but he's taken a turn to the right.
He's the kind of guy the UCP is targeting.
He doesn't understand that that others just want the same privileges and advantages he's gotten as a straight, white male. Instead he feels like something is being taken from him and he just wants it back. The way society is changing to be more inclusive upsets him and the language some in the UCP use I believe gives him comfort. I think guys like my friend if they agree with some of what the UCP says, they'll go along with the rest of what they do.
