Is Canadian Conservative left or right?
The party sits at the centre-right to the right of the Canadian political spectrum, with their federal rivals, the Liberal Party of Canada, positioned to their left. The Conservatives are defined as a “big tent” party, practising “brokerage politics” and welcoming a broad variety of members.
What Canadian province is the most conservative?

What is the difference between a Canadian conservative and a libertarian?
They would say “We should each mind our own business”, while an American libertarian says, “Keep your nose out of my business”. The difference is not trivial. A Canadian conservative wants to maintain things as they are. Many American conservatives are really reactionaries.
