Interesting contrast: Bernier (economically libertarian, culturally "Conservative" (remember the Clark "community of communities" vs. Pearson/Trudeau multiculturalism?)) is different from the Conservative delegates who seem to have avoided that point but have voted to try to get rid of birthright citizenship. Bernier's position would be at least compatible with a strong support of the latter, because children born and educated here in the public school system would be more likely than not to share the sorts of core values he talks about.
Both positions have problematic implications in a context where significant immigration is needed, but it's not clear that the now adopted PC position is any better than Bernier's.
