PPC is basically dead and they’re mainly a bunch of fringe racists. Although I’m surprised that so many CPC voters still have positive views of Trump. Typical fake patriotism of conservatives. They should be treated like traitors.
The Conservative base in Canada has definitely changed. I never agreed with most conservative policies or ideologies, but I always respected them for doing what they truly believed was the best thing for Canada and Canadians, even if I disagreed. This ended with the federal PCs merged with Reform.
They are not that more fringe than the current CPC. The CPC under Poilievre has become a much more extremist party that Bernier's supporters feel comfortable in the CPC tent. Sadly, many reasonable conservative supporters haven't recognized the takeover of their party and they don't have a party.
He was! But his extremism became more well-known after he made a spect5nreal with the CPC and formed the PPC. All the bigots and freedumb fighters flocked to the PPC, but most have gone back to the CPC because Poilievre also appeals to this demographic which should be a red flag for the rest of us.
Don’t forget that how “news” is delivered to people will help them form their ideas. If you are told that Elon has saved tax payers billions, it doesn’t matter if it is true as long f as you believe it is true. This is the reason they want to defund CBC.

We can call PPC niche,
But the #PPC controls the #Cons.
Bernier attained 49.05% of the vote
That 49% only vote #CPC for power…. They agree with Maxine

It was 50/50 between Scheer and Bernier
Bernier was a respected member of the party and if he ran now, he would win a seat in his home riding. (That part is of course an opinion)
