Coren on Stronach

Michael Coren's column in the Toronto Sun today draws attention to a possible rift in the Conservative Party over Belinda Stronach's preference to support homosexual marriage. He reminds his readers that the divide between red tories and the rest of the caucus is still real. Coren is not too apprehensive about it. He is right. One should not panic. Parties have these sorts of tensions all the time. The Liberals and even the NDP have tensions over the same issue. Conservatives may also take comfort in that Stephen Harper has got to be the leader of a federal Canadian party who is the least likely to become Grand Marshall of any sort of parade.
