The article documents how organizations like the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and REAL Women have grown in size and influence, particularly since Stephen Harper's Conservative Party formed a minority government earlier this year, but the author is far off the mark in his conclusion that "the Christian right ”¦ is coalescing with new clout and credibility, similar to the evangelical Christian movement in the United States in the 1980s."

The Prairie Wranglers: Which means that while the NDP proposal is somewhat more ambitious, the absolute reductions in the long term aren't all that different.
