Using the Conservative playbook, Hudak using homophobia to get elected, knowing his supporters will eat it up

I guess they found their wedge issue, as they were looking for one in September.

I was wrong then when I said "Canadian conservatives don't attack groups they don't like openly (ie: gays, women, minorities) unlike their American counterparts"

I will never underestimate the crumminess of a conservative ever again.

Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader is standing by a campaign flyer labelled homophobic and misleading that was distributed in a key election battleground outside Toronto over the weekend.

For a second day, Hudak was asked about the dispersal of the literature — English and Punjabi versions of which were reportedly distributed in Brampton — that casts a critical eye at a Toronto District School Board document aimed at helping educators fight homophobia in schools...

...The controversial flyer contains quotes it says are taken from the K-12 curriculum. But the quotes are not included in the curriculum, only in the anti-homophobia resource guide. The application of the recommendations in the guide aren't mandatory for educators.

The flyer also claims the school board document contains a reference to "cross-dressing for six-year-olds," although no such wording can be found anywhere in the document. The Liberals say the flyer is homophobic and misleading.

Hudak's supporters don't care, but it does make them feel better about their total lack of heart, and they get to kick fags with impunity. What could be better?
