I could have written your post myself.

I was a Progressive Conservative most of my life but the party left me when the social conservatives and the far right wing libertarians took over the party.

The CPC now seems to be a union of science-hating, minority-hating, tax-hating cranks with a permanent axe to grind.

They seem to have the need to punish someone, anyone, for something and they have no acquaintance with the concepts of tolerance, or of mercy.

Bob Stanfield must be turning in his grave.
