In 2004, I was a young (naive) far-left socialist who supported Quebec independence and hated Harper.
In 2006-2007, I became a young (stupid) right-wing conservative hack, who insisted he was centrist, but still was all over Harper, Sarkozy and Mario Dumont. I was vaguely populistic, and had gained weird affection for the xenophobic nationalism of Philippe de Villiers and I didn't think Le Pen was all that bad. I slowly started disliking Harper in early 2008 (as I moved to Canada to witness the damage wrought), by the 2008 election I hated Harper and disliked Dumont.
In 2008-2009, I transitioned into a real centrist, kind-of liberal, but still "socially/fiscally moderate" I recall being all proud of my moderation and my 0/0 PM score, thinking it indicated real intelligence and real balance.
In 2009, I became my current centre-left progressive liberal self. I dislike conservatism a whole lot, but I'm wary of the left. For some reason, I was into the Canadian Green Party in 2007 and 2008, but I became a Liberal in 2009. I campaigned for and voted Liberal in 2011.
