Over the past few weeks, I’ve written columns in these pages that argue: the Conservative party must aspire to be a 50-per-cent-plus-one proposition in Canadian politics; growing the party’s base will require maintaining support from social conservatives; and social conservatives should commit themselves to promoting and cultivating “bourgeois virtues” among those Canadians who aren’t currently benefiting from them.
This is more than a mere campaign slogan. Championing a big-picture cause can enable Conservatives to apply their insights and principles in the service of an ambitious and focused policy program. You might think of it as cause-driven conservatism.The first is it can help to offset the party’s disadvantage of competing with left-wing opponents unconstrained by ideological or fiscal limitations to government action.
If readers accept the case for cause-driven conservatism, the outstanding question, of course, is: what should the cause be? Social mobility basically refers to the ability of a young person to move up the economic ladder relative to his or her parents. Canada’s record on social mobility has been generally positive. We’re regularly in the upper tier of OECD countries.

Police had no right to seize hidden bedside camera from Airbnb condo, Ontario judge rulesThe decision effectively ended the voyeurism prosecution of the Toronto condo owner LOL so creepers can peep on you in Canada. Gotta love this country. Glad I already avoid Airbnb like it's a plague Problem is it will be the judge who gets criticized and not the TPS officers who didn't do their job correctly I would think this ruling easily gets overturned on appeal. Cops were invited in. Didn’t need a warrant. Witness gave them first hand evidence of crime at the scene. Slam dunk. No problem. The creepy voyeur will get his.
