Libertarian Ron Paul headlines Manning Networking Conference

[sailingaway]

The big draw guest at this year's Manning Networking Conference is former Republican congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul. He's best known as the world's most prominent libertarian politician.

But are libertarian values a large part of politics in Canada?

In the annual Manning Barometer report, less than 1% of Canadians identified as libertarian. This is despite the fact the majority of respondents indicated a preference for small government over big - the hallmark of libertarian philosophy.

While many small government proponents may end up siding with big tent conservative parties - like Ron Paul did throughout most of his political career - Canadians on both sides of the border also have the option of electing outright libertarians.

I think in one of the earlier threads on this some people were going, and at DP three people (with others) are going. I hope we get some feedback!
