Is it the leaders, or is it the fact that the entire CPC just does not align with Canadian values outside of some fortunate periods of Liberal-fatigue?
The fact that they've regressed from being "Progressive Conservatives" to "Conservatives" might seem nominal at first considering there are progressives within their ranks... but they allow non-progressives to co-exist with them. Because they sold out and literally merged with them to try to win alone. I wouldn't be surprised if they merge with the PPC within the next 10 years either.
Instead of breaking into two parties again, knowing they fundamentally cannot co-exist with someone like PP who would openly and actively support the convoy, they rather secretly harbour "it's not that bad, as long as we win" sentiment.
The idea of "uniting the right" is fundamentally what's wrong with them.
