Zusammenfassung:The strength of the Tea Party and Religious Right in the United States, alongside the Harper Conservatives’ stance onsame-sexmarriage and religious freedom in Canada, has many asking whether social conservatism has come to define the right wing of North American politics.In this timely and penetrating book, James Farney provides the first full-length comparison of social conservatism in Canada and the United States from the sexual revolution to the present day. Based on archival research and extensive interviews, it traces the historic relationship between social conservatives and other right-wing groups. Farney illuminates why the American Republican Party was quicker to accept social conservatives as legitimate and valuable allies than the Conservative Party of Canada.Thisbook will be indispensable for understandingwhy a movement so powerfulamongst American conservativeshas beendistinctively less important in Canada and how the character of Canadian conservatism means it will likely remain so
