Fair enough and that’s a fun discussion… but I was replying to someone who said CPC, not all historical federal ‘conservative’ parties. The old PC/Reform split allowed for conservatives and right liberals to belong to different parties. Different times, policy wise though I think you’re right, the PC party is dead and gone in the CPC. I wonder where their voters went.
👋. I was a member of the federal PCs back in the day. I worked on both Mulroney campaigns, voted for him once, and even voted for Kim Campbell. I continued to support the party until the Reform takeover. Moderate PCs were very much made to feel unwelcomed, and I didn’t support most of what became policy.
I’ve been voting Liberal since. Which was a big jump for me. But the CPC aren’t conservative. They’re right-wing, populist reactionaries.
A right proper Tory as I live and breathe, I thought you all went extinct when Peter MacKay turned over the keys.
I’m just kidding with you, I feel like your story is probably common enough with people who were considered red Tories back in those days.
