Does a guy who supported Justin Trudeau and has never voted conservative in his life ( although I flirted with the block in 2008) count as hardcore right wing?

Well, if we're just talking about the odd "Sens & Hab fans on this board = more right wing" pattern that exists on this board, you do kind of hold it up. After all, whatever your ulterior motives for it may have been, I don't think there were any Leaf fans on this board that were vocal supporters of either Donald Trump or Marine Le Pen, let alone both.

I've never supported Donald Trump, other than the very narrow subject of him forcing NATO members and Canada especially to spend more on defense.

I did support Le Pen, but it should be noted that my order of favorite candidates in the French election were melenchon , the communist, followed by Le Pen, marcron, Fillion and hamon.

That's why I mentioned your "ulterior motives".

I realize your support for both Trump & Le Pen basically came down to single issues for you. In the case of Trump, it was the hope that he'd push the Canadian government to give your employer a bunch of new cash to play with, with a side of visceral hatred for Hillary. In the case of Le Pen, that came down to your fervent desire to see a complete collapse of the European Union at any cost.

Still though, whatever your logical reasoning, when it comes down to it you preferred Trump over Clinton, and Le Pen over Macron.

And besides, we're talking about Hab, Sens & Leaf fans here, not Predators fans, aren't we?

and that's a fair assessment. On some issues I lean right, on others left. Some issues I pick whatever side with whatever side would further my views whether they be left or right. I don't think that would qualify my as extremely right wing.

First time I saw Soundgarden live was Lollapalooza 1992 with Pearl Jam, rage against the machine, red hot chili peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, ministry and a bunch of others.

Heck Temple of the Dog came out for a set too. Heck of a concert, hot as **** though.

RIP Chris.

one of the all time great voices. great songwriter too, no matter who he was playing with.
 
The master of taking a cover and making it his own.

I've always found it impossible to pick a fave by him. One day it's one song and the next it's soemthing different.
