So your ideal version of the conservatives is to be what the LPC was 10 years ago? Yeah, no.
Another commenter said the CPC are going to be Liberal-lite if they keep following what O'Toole did. The CPC lost even though the months leading up to the election predicted a win. I don't understand this fascination of wanting the CPC to transform into yet another left-wing party.

Yup. Selling out your ideals to appeal to a non-existent voting bloc is futile and only makes the country worse off.

Because I want them to win and to keep my guns. Abortion, gay marriage and environmental opinions in this country are set in stone, they will never change and people who oppose them are so far in the minority its ironic. The Cpc lost despite leading because of climate change, because of the subset that refused to acknowledge its existence, just fucking pretend for a while then do nothing like every other politician on the planet. Besides those aren't even real left right issues their authoritarian vs libertarian/ North South issues, of which ill always favor more individual freedom, even if I don't agree with it. They couldn't win despite a split left vote. Something needs to change or the new 2 party system will be ndp and libs and well be registering our forks.
