However, keep in mind that the PCs are very beholden to the interests of the rural crowd. They're the group that forms the bulk of the party membership, finances, committed support, and current caucus. When John Tory tried that trick of moving the PCs to a more centrist urban-friendly tone a la Bill Davis, the rural caucus had none of it. There was very serious talk of leaving the PC party in favour of a new "true blue party" among the Randy Hilliers and Monte McNaughtons of the party.
The PCs will have a very hard time drifting away from being the party that criticizes the sex-ed curriculum, attacks wind power, opposes cap and trade, wails on about the "War on Christmas", and dumps on urban needs. And while they fail to do that, they are ultimately unable to win government.
well i am liberal but there has been a "war on Christmas", and I have doubts for this climate change. There was a documentary i saw on netflex on the cause of global warming being cows and the story no one talks about because beef is big business. My son actually saw it in school and told us about it.
World-wide, there are about 1.5 billion cows and bulls. All ruminants (animals which regurgitates food and re-chews it) on the world emit about two billion metric tons of CO2-equivalents per year. In addition, clearing of tropical forests and rain forests to get more grazing land and farm land is responsible for an extra 2.8 billion metric tons of CO2 emission per year!. And I too have issues with the sex ed.
Well middle of the road worked for Bill Davis and the P.C for 42 years
