When I take a look at the state of Canadian conservatism, it is just abysmal. Stephen Harper was a moderate conservative, and at the minimum he was a monarchist, but nonetheless he was partly responsible for selling this country out, the ever increasing immigration numbers, and completely shut out the social conservatives. He was better than Scheer though, he did stand up to the diversity propagandists, but he couldn't seem to make the link between mass immigration, and the diversity agenda, he was shooting his own foot.

Then we look at Andrew Scheer, he is a social conservative, but he was a terrible campaigner, the debates were horrendous, and he let the media take control of the narrative. Zero balls. And of course, absolutely zero comments on issues regarding culture, and immigration. You're not a conservative if your platform doesn't have a cultural, or immigration, component, because that's the point of conservatism, conserving.

With the current conservative leadership, Mackay is a worse version of Harper, and O'Toole is a worse version of Scheer. Derek Sloan is more aligned with conservative values, but he is just not an eloquent, or charismatic, figure, and many times he makes great points but delivered poorly, or awkwardly.

Leslyn Lewis ticks all the right boxes for conservatism, particularly Canadian Toryism, reminiscent of the Tories in England, but her lack of experience in public office is a problem, and if I recall correctly, half of her family is living in Jamaica. That obviously puts into question on where loyalties lie, exactly. Furthermore, she's absolutely incompetent with French, and the fact is that whether we like it or not, this is going to be a big disadvantage. And as someone who came to Canada as an immigrant child myself, at this point in time we should really have a native born take the conservative reign because immigration is an issue and having an immigrant tackle that issue is just bad optics.

I look at all of this, and I can't help but face palm at the state of Canadian conservatism. The USA has vibrant conservative movements which are growing, of all ages, and both in public office, academia, and even in the media. The same with England. They all address culture, and immigration, along with economics, and social issues. Trump's campaign ran all of that, and the same with Boris Johnson in England, in fact both the Republicans and the English Tories have admitted errors on immigration, culture, and social issues that proved detrimental to conservative values.

Not a single bleep from Canadian conservatism. It is frustrating.
