I can see why conservatives would hate it.
There would likely never be another conservative government again in Canada with proportional representation. Every election would result in a minority and Canada would have to use coalitions just to get things done. In all likelihood, that would mean Liberals, NDPs and Greens constantly forming coalitions. You might get the odd Liberal/Conservative coalition, but either way, you are getting liberal pressure in parliament.
Plus, there will probably be smaller extremist parties popping up have a chance of winning seats. And half the seats in Alberta would go to non-conservative parties.
