It's difficult to shift the Overton window in a right-leaning position with a Liberal government, but its easier to shift it with a CPC government.
You're wrong on this. The overton window doesn't shift during a government. The overton window shifts during an election. The reason why the overton window shifts farther and farther to the left in Canada is because we have four federal parties which are left leaning or are leftist. If the Liberals want to win elections, they have to satisfy their base and they have to adopt policies from the NDP/Bloc/Greens so that they don't bleed too much. This is not the case with the Conservatives. They don't have to care about their base. Their base has no alternative. That's why O'Toole gets away with adopting policies which are squarely in the territory of the Liberals. This chasing of voters on the left by the CPC with liberal policies is what causes the overton window to shift. With an alternative to the right of the Conservatives, they wouldn't be able to do this.
We can't even advocate for Western heritage with a Liberal government
And you won't be with the current Conservative Party either.
We can't even advocate for Western heritage with a Liberal government
But that's it. Every other policy the Bloc supports is a leftist policy. Pro big government, pro abortion, against religion, big spending everywhere, climate alarmists and so on. They vote with the Liberals in lock step on almost every bill. They are not right wing. They are a left wing party.
but the PPC can tap to this base
The PPC has lower support in Quebec compared to almost any other province. Everything the PPC stands for (besides anti immigration) is the exact opposite Quebecois vote for.
The other way is to mass infiltrate the upper-levels of the CPC party with traditionalists
Currently the opposite is the case. The leader of the CPC is a person who is a climate alarmist who pushes for a carbon tax. He supports abortion. He pressures the Liberals to enact left wing policies like removing the gay blood ban or legalizing drugs so that gay men can have easier sex. He tweets out pro trans propaganda during LGBT month, and so on and on.
The big problem with a Conservative party that shifted to far to the left isn't that they can't win election. O'Toole has a chance to be the next PM. The problem will be the next Liberal government. If O'Toole wins, he will get maybe 4 or 8 years as PM and then Canadians will vote the Liberals in again. And the next time this happens the Liberal PM will be even farther to the left. Even Trudeau will look like a Conservative in 20 years. There is currently only one direction for Canadian politics. They are headed left even with the CPC.
That's wrong. The PPC can only thrive when the CPC is fishing for Liberal voters. And they only fish for them when they are not the government.
What?????
They are on the opposite side of the political spectrum. The Bloc is a left wing party. Almost all Bloc policies are left to LPC policies.

The correct answer is that this will be a rigged election.
