Since Stephen Harper took control of the Conservative party there has been significant efforts to reach out to immigrant groups and (as a result) they have made serious inroads in this community, and their new support is one of the reasons cited for their new majority government. |
Yeah, minority groups voting against their own interests is fairly common. What seemed most interesting to me though was a case of seeing this actually happen in action due to a specific position taken.
