An apology to conservative Canadians

Recently in a debate with MCB I wrote:

Dissent from the Liberal view isn't "un-Canadian", dissent from a liberal view is.
Athough it was in a public forum it was meant as a direct dig at the omnipresent anti-Canadian and rabid anti-Liberal that is MCB. Sometimes in my zeal to defend Canada I go to far as was the case in my defense of Canada against the anti-Canadianism MCB hides behind a false mask of "criticism".
It was wrong of me to blanket all conservatives with the label "un-Canadian". Ironically that was a very un-Canadian and un-liberal thing to do. I apologize to everyone in general for that gross error in statement.
Canada is made up of a wide range of people with an even wider range of opinions and just because I don't agree with them doesn't mean they aren't Canadian. To all of you .......... Sorry.

A class act, Derb. I read your initial comment and understood its context, but if you feel an apology is warranted then I applaud your intentions.

Thanks.
I wasn't all that offended, but I admire you for apologising for it.

I always and still have a grim view of your opinions. But this, is truly a great move on your part. Though I don't think your comments we're very insulting, kudos to you for apologising. Very Canadian of you

One of the great values I hold true is that voting for the party YOU believe in is what makes this country a success. I may not agree with 50% of what the Liberal platform says, but the one line of democratic voting rights is something I fully agree with.
Now if you'll excuse me I have to finish hanging my Liberal neighbour for not voting for our Conservative candidate and allowing the NDP to take the riding...Who would have thought that scanky old pizza hut slut would have won the Vancouver Island North seat. To think this time last year she was flipping burgers to make ends meet.
Love always,
Samantha
Samantha, your name is Frank and although you are located in St. Jean you voted in Vancouver Island North? ![huh? [huh]](./images/smilies/icon_scratch.gif)

Hear! Hear!
Apology accepted Derby. I won't be using that phrase in my profile after all.
