Canadian Opposition Leader Trying To Keep Lid On Party Extremists
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/02/021405canCons.htm

ever wish the Repukes would do this--they just let their nuts run loose

Debate on legislation to legalize same-sex marriage across Canada will begin Wednesday in the House of Commons and Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper is working overtime trying to prevent his members from appearing like red neck bigots as they oppose the bill.

Harper has issued orders to his Members of Parliament that they must submit their remarks to him before speaking in the House. The party, a merger of the old extreme rightwing Canadian Alliance and the more moderate Progressive Conservatives are eyeing the next election and Harper is frantically trying to shed the image of intolerance that cost them the last election.

But, signs of the old Alliance surfaced Monday in the form of an audio tape of one member on a homophobic rant to the media.
