Yep, and all they ever remained was the opposition....the only way they actually got to power was to merge with a more established and central party in comparison. There are many people who support those agendas, but frankly any party that wants to win consistently on a national level has to tone down the right wing views on social issues since the majority of canadians are more liberal (small l, folks) on that front.
