I've been thinking about this. You know how Harper wants to debate the gay marriage issue in Parliament rather than let the Supreme Court decide? I'm wondering if Martin wants the courts to deal with it (rather than introducing a bill in Parliament) because he's personally against it, being Catholic and all.

ETA: As for the new Tories being socially conservative, yet fiscally non-conservative, I guess if you look at it that way, then yes, they would appeal to newer Canadians. Harper already said that he wants to make it easier for immigrants with good credentials to get jobs that they were trained for in their old country. That is good news for people like my uncle, who went to medical school in Hong Kong. Sure, it's too late for him, but if it all works out, then other new comers won't have to go through some form of training all over again (my uncle didn't have to go through med school again, but training is still training)
