This is the biggest reason I simply can't vote for his party. Maybe if enough people think like this, we might flip some seats in Calgary. It would take something monumental for me to change back to CPC, starting with leadership change.

If a leader tries to move the party a bit closer to the centre, the hard-right wing of the party will take them down. Then they’ll pick someone who looks great to them but is unpalatable to most Canadians and wonder why they didn’t win. Rinse and repeat.
The united right is doing a disservice to all Canadians. A progressive conservative party would do very well right about now, and while some will endorse (or turn a blind eye to) the unsavoury wing of the CPC, thankfully many won’t. They’ve left a gaping hole in the centre and the Liberals are all too happy to fill it.
CPC is pretty much Reform now, and UCP is Wild Rose.
