Do eastern Canadians really believe that the Reform Party is extreamist? If somebody out there does, could you give some examples. Could it be thier belief that: 1) the government should cut spending. 2) that MPs represent thier ridings rather than blindly voting the party line. 3) that government contracts should be given out on technical merit. 4) that cultures and languages should not be artificially imposed or restricted (i.e. by government). I guess I should say that I don't belong to the Reform party, and certainly don't speak for them. This is just my impression of thier policies. dre.
