Edit…Trumpism is closer to fascism than conservatism.
I agree with you, but it is difficult to pretend that our ancestors were not evangelical fanatics who loved supporting anti federal whackos.

That said, strong social programs are what makes this province and it's people so great. Let's not forget that.
