Means nothing because he's in charge of a throng of hardcore Quebec leftists, the kind of radicals that probably won't hesitate to stick the knife in him if he vacillates too much on the theories and policies he's obligated to support as leader of the federal Dippers. Quebec being what it is, I'm certain that it's fairly accurate to say that a conservative from Quebec is probably further to the left than is a Dipper from Alberta.

IF Mulcair is secretly a bit more economically right wing than he seems, that's all good. As long as right wing doesn't all of a sudden mean keeping C51 or such.

And personal freedom is an Libertarian/Authoritarian thing. So, C-51 isn't truly left or right biased to me.
