Harper fires Spencer for anti-gay remarks

Spencer, the Alliance’s family issues critic, said there has been a deliberate infiltration of homosexuality in North America’s courts, schools, religious communities and the entertainment industry. He said this conspiracy has led to successes in the gay-rights movement.

A person has to be pretty backward to think that sort of drivel, let alone say it out loud. The question is, given how far to the right the Alliance is, exactly how deep into the party this sort of thinking goes, and how it will affect their upcoming merger with the P.C.’s vote.
