Why not leave the US out of the discussion as their politics are definitely on a different spectrum than ours? In Alberta, the more 'progressive' the PC's have become the larger our spending and subsequent deficits and debts have been.
In Saskatchewan, the election of a fiscally conservative party has led to a much improved fiscal situation and economic growth where 'liberal' governments in the past had racked up large debts and poor economic growth.
I think your assertions are entirely off base.

No, Mulroney deserves credit for those as good overarching policies, but also remember that debt ballooned massively under his leadership - to close to half a trillion before Chretien and Martin brought it under control. Mulroney did not operate government efficiently.
With Wall, he to me defines centrism.
