I hope he's right. I have a lot of concerns about the financial direction of the country, but I'll never vote Conservative if it means swallowing a plate full of social-conservative dog-crap.

The problem with this sort of idea is it leads right back to them becoming the Progressive Conservatives, a party which differentiated not one single whit from the Liberal Party of Canada other than in the colour of its campaign literature.
Another problem is it leaves completely unrepresented, vast numbers of Canadians who might not be members of the alt-right, but definitely have a few quibbles about aspects of multisexual mutual respect, total abortion rights up to the 9th month of gestation, and embracing mind altering drugs for all. We're not talking a fringe here, but at least a quarter or a third or close to half of the population, depending on the question.
Another problem is that the number of people with enlightened progressive outlooks on these subjects who are also even remotely fiscally conservative is vanishingly small. The Progressive Conservative party had ZERO conservatives in it when it finally died. The progressive wing had completely taken over because they assumed the moral imperative that progressives generally do, and shut out anyone who disagreed, even slightly, as a 'dinosaur.'
