The Checkered Political Landscape Sometimes Canadian politics feel less like a sophisticated game of chess and more like a round of checkers played at a backyard family gathering. Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada (PPC), finds himself in the delicate situation of a checkers player on the losing side of a game against a particularly crafty grandparent.

Conservatives allow abortion to become an issue every election and that only benefits the Liberals and NDP. I suggest the CPC invite the anti-abortion crowd, aka "pro-life", to join another Party, such as the Christian Heritage Party, whose main platform is anti-abortion. It's time to stop the tail wagging the dog, which seems to be a feature of Canadian politics.
