If USA Today is right-wing, then John Gamble must be an
ultra-right wing MP. No kidding, folks, so it says in March 19th's
Toronto Star.
	C'mon, you guys, just because Canada is a welfare(=socialist)
state, it doesn't mean that anyone slightly right wing anywhere else
is automatically a reactionary ultra-right wing fanatic here.
Maybe you've been fooled by the labels: just for your info,
the federal and Ontario Conservative parties are BOTH pretty well
socialist, while the federal Liberal party is about as far away
from a laissez-faire liberalism as you can get without joining the
NDP (Socialist party of America?).
	I actually thought that the part of the article quoted
was exceedingly fair and correct in its assessment of Trudeau's
policies as perceived by many Americans. But then again, I'm not
an American myself.
