Sure, that is a given for the Cons, and the Libs, and the Greens for that matter. I think advocacy groups should advocate for their cause, as opposed to advocating directly for the political party they feel (mistakenly in this case) will best serve their cause.

Oh, really? Why do you say that? quote:

Ah, so you would agree it was right to pull funding from women's groups that often were staffed and/or represented by NDP supporters? You would agree with Harper's government style that dollars should be doled out only to groups and organizations that are ideologically compatible with themselves? Is that right? Because if the NDP was elected you would support pulling funding, from, say, the court challenges program as possibly those funds could be used to challenge the right to private health care and the right to own guns, right?
