Changes 05 October

[edit]
While doing some research on conservatism in Canada, I just noted that someone changed the parties position from "centre right" to "ultra-right" including a link to the far right page. Neither of the two parties that formed it (the Progressive Conservatives and Wildrose) are described as such. Furthermore they have not formally released a platform. Finally, their leader was once a cabinet minster from Conservative Party of Canada, which is also not described as either far-right. This seems to me to be a political smear by an IP user. I am admittedly partisan in this manner and feel it would not be reasonable to make such a change.Seraphael7 (talk)

Yah, I am impressed with how careful everyone was in trying to soften the ultra-right viewpoint of this party, but, they are clearly right-wing in terms of both fiscal policy as well as social conservatism. Evidence:

If you need more, look at parks, firing nurses, canceling contracts with doctors, etc.

There was an election yesterday

[edit]

The government changed, but when I put that in the article some guy erased it. It's a fact, you can't change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 135.0.145.22 (talk) 06:08, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Direct Democracy"

[edit]

The UCP is described as a direct democratic party but I see no evidence for this claim, and as such should be removed. 65.92.73.207 (talk) 19:17, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

UCP is NOT a Conservative Party

[edit]

Based on their ideas the UCP cannot be categorized as a conservative party. Conservative parties do not like too much change, this party wants to move the clock back a century, feel they are better than outsiders, hate minorities. It is what in other parts of the world is called a rightwing extremist party. 2001:569:7602:9E00:80CC:379C:E87E:2A2C (talk) 05:35, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
