This is only because the CPC refuses to denounce that portion of their base. As we've seen in Alberta with the UPC and the states with Trump, they're not just appeasing the extreme right to get votes - they
are the extreme right. There's no way all of their polling data is showing they should keep up with the ultra right wing, populist nonsense. Yet since they keep going down that path, the only conclusion one can draw is that if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must actually be a populist, ultra right wing duck.
