For me it is simple, I will vote for any party that excludes members that 1. are pro life 2. are climate change deniers 3. homophobes 4. treasonous USA sympathizers.
All Pollivier ( any CPC leader) has to do is go on national media and ask that those people do not vote for him, endorse him, or the CPC because they are not welcome in his party. He would instantly win a super majority.
But the Conservative Party of Canada is also the Evangelical Party of Canada, and though many ( most) members and voters of the CPC are not pro-life ,homophobic, treasonous, climate change deniers, there is a sizeable and influential base that is. It is those people who chase off the vast majority of Canadians who cannot find common ground with them.
Make an example of them, kick them out of your party, tell them to pound sand, and win the center right, and center left vote which is the largest portion of voting Canadians.
