I dont think Canadians being annoyed with Harper for wanting to be like the U.S is being to "liberal".

Canadians want to have their own identity and we are so overwhelmed by the U.S (and we are...whatever they do does affect us), so by moving away and disagreeing with the U.S and their policies is our way of saying, "Hey, we're are own Country and we'll do it our way". That's not being liberal at all.

I know what you're saying about Canadians becoming too "liberal", but I disagree. I think that's what makes this country great! In some respectsI do think we're to liberal with a few of our social programs and spending, which is why I don't think the either of the three major parties can fix it. The Conservatives spend too little and the Liberals and NDP spend too much.
But the "hey, let's legalize gay marriage" certainly is what I call "socially liberal" and certainly and most definitely why many people, especially newer Canadians are a little upset. The further Canada removes itself from good old family/traditional values, the more upset immigrant parents are going to be with their Canadianized children.
