+1. I am on the left, but I can meet in the middle with a fiscal conservative. Wouldn't like having one in power, but I can live with it.

Social conservatives though? As a trans person, and looking at what's going on south of the border and in the UK, I consider social conservatives to be an existential threat.

I wish we had a legitimately multi-party system that didn't encourage all the conservatives to be under the same umbrella; I would feel a lot safer.

The definition of conservative needs to change. We're allowed to be fiscally conservative without being hateful bigots.

That's called "liberalism." In fact, that's always been called "liberalism." The only reason more people don't understand that fact is that extremist right-wing propaganda is incredibly effective.

I think the party splitting back into its Progressive Conservative and Reform components is long overdue. PCs might've held their noses and agreed to a merge for the sake of defeating the Liberals, but since then they've sat passively allowing the extreme regressives to take the reins.
