I've voted Conservative for years but never joined the party until now. I did so specifically to support candidates that were not Kellie Leitch, Pierre Lemieux or any of the other social conservatives that would take this country back to the dark ages. Like most Canadians, I would consider myself a social liberal and fiscal conservative. While I can appreciate Bernier's libertarian bent, I just don't think he's electable in a general election. The only candidate who can reasonably appeal to a wide swath of the country is Chong.
