I can understand where the bloggers' frustration is coming from, but his solution doesn't even hit the nail, let alone on the head.
His idea will not win them any elections either. In fact, it will make them lose by even more.
In a system wher many voters still, accuse the conservatives of being too conservative, moving more right certainly won't help them.
The reality is, that these people are a small minority in Canada, and will not win an election on strict right wing policies. The compramises the the CPC has done and still need to do, is the only way they will win.
When CPC support is growing, and more people from the center of the spectrum are willing to give them a look, why would they benefit from going more extreme?
They would simply push away what ever support they had recently aquired.

He says exactly what you are said. The idea is not to win now but to win later and more often. He thinks that with a viable alternative with actual ideas will eventually attract the Canadian public late on.
Right now there is very little difference between the the Liberals and the Conservatives.
