Canada

The Conservative party's identity is easy: "Fossil fuels are the number one priority and we'll die on that hill."

The problem is the center-right PC party died with Mulroney. PC after that was just a brand taken by the Reform and other Alberta asshole parties.

NDP lost touch with the workers and care more about how many letters they can add to LGBTQ+... which leaves the Liberals center right, not much different than Harper's government. Right now, the PCs are just Northern Republicans.

I would really like to see the conservatives split into 2 parties again! Then I would like to see voter election reform.

What are the distinct policies Conservatives are fighting for that clearly distinguish them from Carney’s Liberals?

Again, in his keynote speech, Poilievre argued that Conservatives “have won these debates so thoroughly that Liberals have stopped debating us altogether and started plagiarizing.” Former Conservative leader Erin O’Toole recently struck a similar note, writing to Carney on his Substack: “keep it up on all of these issues.”

Carney’s current agenda on the environment, immigration, government spending, foreign policy, defence, and technology is already being pursued in a manner similar to, if not directly aligned with, longstanding Conservative priorities. Carney is moving forward with new pipelines, aggressive deregulation, disregarding Indigenous sovereignty, cutting immigration and ramping up deportations, gutting the federal public service, inflating our defence (war-making) capabilities, getting tougher on crime, selling off public assets, undermining labour unions, doing away with pharmacare, and doubling down on AI technologies and data centres.

While some key differences regarding social policies, cultural politics, and geostrategic relations with China and the United States remain, in broad policy strokes, they are fairly analogous to many existing Conservative policy platforms
