Like Optimist said, progressive is being more liberal. The term comes from the progressive movement in the early part of the 19th century (strange, it wasn't all that progressive, but it took a few good steps).
And that wasn't meant to offend conservatives like you ktsnake, I just don't think anyone would be pleased to enter a society where the political values wer much sifferent from the ones they were used to. I'd be pissed to have to buy health insurance if I moved to the US from Canada (especially since people on work visas pay huge taxes).
Anyway, I think the realtionship between the two countries is very interesting. Considering we share an almost indistiguishable popular culture, I find the differences quite fun.
