Like I said before it's all binary today which makes it hard to reason with people on either side of the political spectrum.

Are they? Not sure what your point is. The measuring stick for extremism is pretty easy to define historically you examine the trajectory of ideology and policy over time.
The liberal party is overall, pretty centrist. The Conservative Party, is not. Conservatives tend to vote like it’s a team sport.
The majority of voters in the states elected Trump. Do you think Trump isn’t extreme? You can read back a few lines to see why today’s conservatives are extreme. It’s already been discussed. Constantly attacking the free press. Attacking our country as a failed nation. Pushing MAGA policy. Labelling left of centre politics as socialist ansd communist. It’s all there. You can pretend it’s not and keep blaming Trudeau I guess.
