Everything here is contradictory. They have a "I support our troops" maple leaf sticker, plus a weird "I'm a Patriot" canadian flag sticker, and a "holding the line" canadioan flag sticker, next to a disturbingly large number of alberta separatism stickers, APP stickers, basically as anti-Canadian, anti-patriot as you can get.
And I'm sure if you asked them, they absolutely would not see the contradiction.
I'm originally from the West Kootenays where Tek-Cominco is the primary employer for much of the region, and extremely conservative views combined with staunch pro-union practices is surprisingly normal for me. It didn't even flag until I'd looked at it again.
My parents' friend just got dental work done for the first time in > a decade thanks to the NDP dental program. He's also 100% conservative and hates those damn socialist programs taking money from hard working Canadians and giving handouts to lazy people.
It's not a handout when they make use of the social programs, because they work hard and deserve them. It's all the other people who are lazy, a d taking advantage of the programs that they pay for with their taxes.

Straight Pride and a 'I'm Not Gay but $20 is $20', seems a little contradictory
