Maybe because the definition of “liberal “ and “conservative “ has changed drastically since I joined. Maybe the changes in society in general. I don’t know. Forgive me if I shouldn’t have posted this but it is something I’ve been observing over the years.
Nevertheless I always have appreciated this page and all of you.

As a Nova Scotian where the default political setting is Liberal, I've always really liked this thread as the default political setting is Conservative.
The biggest difference in discourse locally versus on here is "I like the folks on my team" while the actual philosophy is pretty close.
What I mean by that is we all tend to be Red Tories or Blue Liberals. We all tend to want to better society for all Canadians. The how varies slightly, but the biggest disagreements deal with the politicians themselves versus actual policy.
That said, I agree this thread/site has shifted more Liberal, or at least it seems that way as the CPC shifts more right and focusing on the fringe (convoy, religious fundamentalists, own the libs bros). So maybe it's less a shift Liberal(liberal?) as it is the CPC moving?
