This comparative study examines social conservatism in Canada and the United States from the sexual revolution to the present. Based on archival research and extensive interviews, it maps how moral and social movements engaged with right‑wing parties on issues like religious freedom and same‑sex marriage.

Particular attention is given to why social conservatives became a central constituency within the U.S. Republican coalition — including the Religious Right and Tea Party influence — while remaining less dominant in Canadian party politics. The analysis highlights differences in party strategy, cultural context, and policy priorities.

Accessible to students, policymakers, and readers of contemporary political history, the book clarifies how social values have shaped party alignments and why those dynamics diverge across the two countries.
