Canadians too 'hedonistic' for change?

WASHINGTON— Even before Stephen Harper took an unsolicited swipe at U.S. envoy David Wilkins yesterday, a major American conservative guru was cooling right-wing ardour for Monday's election results in Canada.It turns out Canadians are simply too "liberal and hedonistic" to change political orientation overnight and change will take time, says Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation."The people of Canada have become so liberal and hedonistic that the public ethic in the country immediately could not be reversed," Weyrich says in an email analysis to allies."It will take time. But with leadership it well may be possible to change the public ethic."
