So with that as a starting point the modern conservative movement is at best a hold your nose and vote on economics party.
Then the economic portion as become libertarian nationalism over conservatism.
This leaves many of the historically conservative posters who are still here as political orphans. Essentially few will defend the UCP because they are just far to the right of anyone urban college educated person under 40.

It’s unfortunate for the whiney under 40 college educated liberal posters that a majority of political orphans voted in the Alberta ruling party.
Most conservatives are too busy working to post on a message board all day about such pressing issues as the need for universal basic income and other hand outs/government spending, but make no mistake they are very much alive and well.
Nice try though.
