Talk:Conservative Party of Canada


Would like to seek a consensus on this. The difference between a Blue Tory/Red Tory is best presented elsewhere in the article. It does not provide an objective reader with an accurate, objective view of the party's ideology. When objectively used, these terms best describe historical conservatism in Canada.

The contemporary Conservative Party is not defined by Red Toryism/Blue Toryism, at all. The latter term is hardly used to describe any federal Conservative politician.

"Red Tory" describes practically nobody in the parliamentary caucus. From my experience, the only people who use this term are those trying to present the party in a pejorative manner. I challenge anybody in support of this to tell me the leader of the "Red Tory" faction in the Conservative Party.

Presenting a party whose leader won as a non-incumbent with 71% of the votes cast and a 59 point margin as having deep-rooted internal factions is simply misrepresentation. Deathying (talk) 20:22, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Okay, I'll remove it based on this vote. Should we still keep the part in the first paragraph where it says, "...and welcoming a broad variety of members, including "Red Tories" and "Blue Tories""? Ak-eater06 (talk) 22:22, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Kawnhr and User:PKT, mind sharing your opinion on the bottom discussion (adding fiscal conservatism to infobox)? Ak-eater06 (talk) 22:45, 19 July 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
