Conservatism in Canada was largely of the garden variety before their southern neighbors took a hard swing right. Now they parrot whatever they hear south of the border. It's no wonder when you consider how much of Canadian media and products come from the US. How many of these nut jobs wear hats of a foreign politician and spout nonsense about the "amendments" of a constitution that doesn't apply to them? If they want to put the breaks on this they need to curb US cultural influence. Will it be easy? Not at all, in fact it will be painful.

Don't discount us, Gavin McInnes and Jordan Peterson are both Canadian and Harper currently heads the IDU.

There was the whole proroguing of parliament too after they had a non-confidence vote and an ndp-liberal coalition with bloc and green party supporter was proposed, fell through during that period and the Tories attacked coalitions as somehow being illegal or undemocratic.

More simply: Canadian conservatives have always followed their American counterparts, and that now includes down the rabbit hole.
