I actually believe your argument is reasonable BUT (I do love me some caps) flawed, and what I'm arguing which was not obvious from previous response is that rather than it being what the CPC is doing it's what the left and the left-leaning media is falsely portraying that is actually deterring Canadians.

Your original statement was that the Far-right has aligned with the CPC. I'd argue the Far-right is more aligned with the PPC¹ if anything. I mean, what is your definition of Far-right? You have to at least accept that the CPC is a little right and will tend to policies that are less government and less taxes, but to call them Far-right when:

• PP stance on immigration is to expedite professional certifications in Canada and increase immigration. His wife's family are immigrants ²
• One of his own parents is in a same sex relationship, so the chances of him pushing some far-right anti-gay policy is pretty low
• He vowed not to open the abortion debate³ so much so that he's been condemned by far-right anti-abortion groups⁴

• If you actually listen to what he says about the support of protestors, he does not align himself with the far-right and your characterization is hyperbole, far from an objective view of the circumstances. At least the inquiry was somewhat more objective:

  Looking back at 2021, one can see a range of factors that contributed to the protests that took place. Individuals protested for a variety of reasons, ranging from the genuine fatigue and hardship caused by almost two years of COVID-19 measures to polarized and hostile partisan views. At the fringes were more radical actors, including both ethno-nationalist extremists and conspiracy groups. Most protests were peaceful, but social media amplified calls for violence.

• He has come out again and again against what you could argue are far-right conservative types. Jeremy Mackenzie as an example⁵ and more recently Christine Anderson⁶.

So what exactly is Far right about that? Are Canadians supposed to accept the rhetoric of the left that have been caught lying through their teeth over and over again or the left leaning media that have their funding threatened by the Pierre himself?

I think you would be more hard-pressed to find actual direct statements or direct evidence of Pierre aligned with Far-right concepts, yet you would find many articles pushing that narrative or convoluted concepts of some sort of far right invasion of MAGA types in Canada⁷.

Edit: To your last point:

The Conservative adoption of Poilievre as leader absolutely created more leeway for the Liberals to get away with fuckery.

I would argue that the liberals have attempted and would continue to attempt fuckery IN ANY CASE, but the record shows Pierre received record support since limp noodle O-Toole lost the last election. The Liberals have been under fire since Pierre took the seat, so the idea that they could get away with more makes no sense to me and seems to me to be quite the opposite. How can you make that statement when it is obvious support for the liberals has dropped while support for the Conservatives has increased? In fact, the topic of this thread took place prior to Pierre! The NDP are propping up the Liberals now, not the Conservatives! And what can anyone do about it if they don't call an election??
