When I was a teenager and just learning about conservatism, a friend gave me a book to read called The Trouble with Canada by William D. Gairdner. It had a profound impact on me and my views. The book articulated small-c conservative arguments for fixing Canada's troubles, which at that time were far worse than they are now, at least on the economic side of things. I still flip through the book once in a while for a refresher.
I have been fortunate to get to know Bill in the last few years, and he has just informed me that he's started a blog. Do check it out. Not everyone will agree with what he has to say, especially on moral and social issues, but I strongly encourage people to read his stuff. The man is not lacking in reasoning skills, so at worst, it will make you think!
