If you look at the bigger picture
Right wing parties got ~38.6% of the popular vote
Left wing parties got ~52.7% of the popular vote
The Bloc got 7.64%
The bottom line is that Canada for better or worse is majority Centre left. With that in mind, if the CPC wants to form a majority they need to convince Centre left voters that their social politics are moderate. In the last few elections it seems they are more concerned with grabbing votes from the 4.94% who vote for the far right party, than the 20 odd seats they need to steal from the LPC.
