America's term "Liberal" amuses me to no ends.

For the record: in most other places, liberal refers to political centre-right or even just right. In fact the "neocon" movement is properly referred to as "neo-liberalism", as I learned it while studying politics here in Canada.

Only you guys have that funny left-wing association with the word. Perhaps because your political scene is so to the right compared to even most of the Western world :P
