I used to like the Post a lot. It wasn't ever fully conservative, but had a good mix of conservatives to listen to and liberal voices to roll my eyes at. Lately it seems that everyone has cucked out. And what do I find on today's front page? Not just a post saying Dominion has been deboonked, but Brian Mulroney telling us how good Biden will be. The only one still worth a damn is Rex Murphy.
Where is everyone getting their news these days?
You may be right that the CPC is more aligned (culturally) with the Republicans, but I would make the case that they are more aligned with the Reagan/Bush/McCain Conservatives than the Trump Republicans. Trump pushed Conservatism towards populism and away from "traditional" conservative values as you describe it. The current leader of the Republican party is a man who was married to three women, cheated on every one of them and paid porn stars to fuck him while his wife was alone at home taking care of their newborn son. This is as far from traditional values as it gets. There is no constraint with Trump, something you allege is a core principle of Conservatism. Canadian Conservatism is constraint. Look at Scheer. The guy had to quit because he took money from the party to pay for the private school of his children. This was and is a no go with Conservatives in Canada. If Trump had young children and took money from the Republican Party, do you really think that he would have been kicked out? No. Same goes for all the other non-traditional aligned stuff Trump did.
I live in Saskatchewan. In a riding the Conservatives won with almost 80% in the last election. Almost anybody here thinks that Trump is piece of shit. The majority of Conservatives in Canada would absolutely reject the current state of Conservatism from the US. The only Conservatives in Canada that are attracted to Trump's style are young Conservatives from the cities. They have absolutely no clue what the base of Canadian Conservatism makes up. And these young city Conservatives make up a negligible amount. They have no influence on Canadian Conservatism.
Furthermore you will have to take into account the role of the church. In the US churches, especially Evangelical Churches, have tremendous amount of power. In Canada ... absolutely zero influence. The Church in Canada died in Quebec with the Quiet Revolution.
Because politics turned into sports. Trump isn't a Conservative. But he can play one for his fans.
He's not implementing any policies. He is virtue signalling about it.
Zubik v. Burwell was ruled in May 2016. Trump wasn't president in May 2016. Obama was.
The church is responsible for these closures. Not Conservatives.
People like Maistre would have killed all non-Catholic Christians if they had the power at that time. They are not Conservatives. They are Catholic traditionalists. Nothing more. You are conflating Catholicism with Conservatism.
Spoken like a true city Conservative, raised by 4chan and unable to survive two days in a rural town in the Prairies. Reading philosophy blogs and watching YouTube videos on traditionalists during the French Revolution is as good liberal diversity training.
Again. Virtue signalling. The Supreme Court already ruled on it. The EO did nothing. It's like the EO he signed to protect people with preexisting conditions. It was already law before that.
Absolute bullshit. Obama signed EO on human trafficking:

Same goes for Bush. Obama even set up the first advisory council to combat human trafficking in the US. Maybe don't get facts from /pol on 4chan.
Who sat there and did nothing while priests and pastors raped children across the globe? The Church. The downfall of the church was the church. Best example in Canada for this is Quebec.
Maistre called Protestants "the fatal ulcer" that has to be removed. He called non-Catholics blasphemers and wrote pieces about their executions. The executioner of these blasphemers was always portrait as an essential figure to social order.
I bet Trump could rehearse more bible verses than you and I would be surprised if he could even come up with a single one. You are nothing more than a deus vult larper who thinks that your roleplaying as Christian will somehow be the solution to the failures of your life. But since you're just a fake internet Catholic that absolutely doesn't follow the teaching of Christ, you will also fail with this.
