But nationally? Just look at Ontario. It is largely center/right. But social conservatism is a non-starter, so LPC is the obvious (and only) choice. That is the problem for the CPC.

First, I suspect you are overestimating Ontario conservatism. IMO any time conservatives get in there, it's been a reaction against perceived poor Liberal government, but not necessarily against liberal "values".
Also, you seem to say centre-right doesn't include social conservatism. That may be a narrower definition than I'm using. In any event, I think that, as long as climate change, immigration, and tax policy are right-left issues, Ontario is not as centre-right as you think. Especially in the larger cities.
