I think the reason for that is the ****-show that US conservatives have put on display. Our conservative politicians seem to have a better sense of the danger of not subscribing to science and expert advice and that Canadians are not in the mood for any overt divisiveness according to the standard tenets of right/left politicization and I applaud them for that.
I will suggest that our Conservatives are completely and totally onboard with the Trump agenda but are afraid to come out with it. I'm thinking about stopping abortion completely and destroying our universal health care. On other minor issues the Conservatives don't even bother to pretend.
