Conservatives are much more mellow in Canada than in the US. A large amount of Tories are in fact "Red Tories" more akin to libertarians than actual conservatives. What you have to watch out for up here are the rabid unionists... the province's been on and off strike recently because the unions don't like how the newly-elected Liberals are cutting funding and otherwise trying to save up money to fix the budget, which the Parti Québecois pretty much savaged. Thus, the Liberals are seen as the evil right-wingers over here. Make sense? Thought not.
Affirmative Action is racial discrimination incarnate. It makes the son pay for the sins of the father, which is ridiculous as of itself; and it puts the people which it's supposed to help to shame by insisting that they need help to make it in life. It's more than racial discrimination, it's outright racism. I don't agree with having others decide who an employer can hire, but if you absolutely must, do it based on income or something that makes sense at all, not skin colour.
