Are Canada's conservatives that different from the PPC? (lemmy.world)

Just reading up on these as the conservatives seem pretty right wing especially during this last election. Then I read the PPC description, they seem pretty similar at a glance. Did they have further distinction before and just recently some of the actors of the Conservatives become pushing towards the PPC ideals?

Not really different at all.

The PPC is just Bernier's hissy fit after he lost the CPC leadership race. It looks very similar because Bernier was a core party member. The biggest difference between them is the quality of candidate the party can attract, and the amount of money it has. Because Bernier has trashed his reputation, he's only been able to attract real wackos to run under his banner. But these are the same kind of wackos that have always found a less public-facing home in the CPC/Reform party.

There is no difference.
