“…Conservative platforms may have to shift which issues they focus on, or rethink their levels of social conservatism, to account for this trend. We agree with Malloy (2010a) that “the important question to ask may not be ‘is Canada developing an American-style religious right?’ but rather ‘How is religion and politics evolving both in Canada and other countries?’”…”

“…They are also more likely to vote Conservative (1.4 times greater odds than Catholics), even when controlling for their attitudes on the two issue positions. These Protestants’ attraction to the Conservative party is partly about conservative policy positions (Malloy, 2010a) and the evangelical faith of certain political leaders (Malloy, 2010b), but it is also a response to some hostile rhetoric from the Liberal party and NDP (Hutchinson and Hiemstra, 2009). 10 Yet this group represents only about 10 per cent of Canadians, and there is no evidence that it is growing demographically, even when immigration is considered (Reimer and Wilkinson, 2015).…”

With a decisive Liberal party electoral victory in 2015, observers are now wondering if religious conservatism's role in the Canadian political landscape is waning. Using data from the Canadian Election Study (CES) from the years 2004 to 2015, we find that respondents’ attitudes toward same-sex marriage and women working outside the home have moved left on the spectrum among both the general population and more religious voters. However, this does not go hand in hand with a decline in the effect strength of religiosity on the Conservative vote, which remains significant across the five federal elections examined in this study. Conservative religious voters now make up a smaller share of the adult population, but their issue positions on sexual morals and gender roles, along with the wider conservative value orientation these issues represent, remain important in their vote choice.

“…There have been numerous attempts over the last decade or so to build alliances across religious divides including coalitions between Muslims, Jews, and Christian Evangelical organizations. These have been largely driven by responses to single events and have not been sustainable (Herman 1994;Malloy 2011). 4.…”

Resisting LGBT Rights Where “We Have Won”: Canada and Great Britain

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) human rights are often assumed to travel from the core to the periphery, namely from the Global North to the Global South. However, these rights flows and resistances are more complex than a unidirectional model might suggest. Using a transnational perspective, we consider resistances to LGBT rights in places where LGBT rights are supposedly assured. In Canada and Great Britain, where various forms of equities legislation for LGBT people have been enacted, there is an increasing opposition to LGBT gains. The transnational circulation of these oppositional discourses can be seen in how Canadian and British organizations talk to, and about, each other and illustrate transnational networks that create resistances in the places where "we have won." This questions a sole focus on resistances in places that do not have LGBT equalities legislation, usually those outside the Global North and associated with "less developed others."

“…European RWP movements often co-opt religious imagery to underpin their insider/outsider rhetoric or to contrast the present's moral degeneracy with a virtuous past, though religiosity (having deeply held religious beliefs) is not a consistent predictor of support (Arzheimer and Carter, 2009;Huber and Yendell, 2019;Molle, 2019). In North America, however, Evangelical Christianity is closely associated with support for RWP movements (Guth, 2019;Malloy, 2011).…”

Objective While Canada is commonly portrayed as a bastion of political moderation, two influential right‐wing populist (RWP) movements appeared in the past decade. This study examines support for the People's Party of Canada (PPC) and “Ford Nation” of the eponymous Toronto‐based political family, comparing each movement's supporters. Methods Data from the 2014 Toronto Election Study and 2019 Canadian Election Study were analyzed with logistic regression models to assess differences between supporters of each movement. Results Populism as a “thin‐centered ideology” is displayed by the differences between each movement. Ford Nation advanced a suburban‐focused neoliberal populism while the PPC blended libertarianism and civilizationist–nationalist rhetoric. Contrary to both movements’ platforms, PPC supporters did not display significant animosity toward immigrants, while those of the Ford Nation did. The supporters of Ford Nation were distinct among conventional supporters of RWP movements because they tended to be both immigrants and economically secure. Conclusions While both the PPC and Ford Nation are RWP movements, each movement is only nominally related, as evidenced by their different underlying “thick” ideologies and the substantial differences among their supporters.
