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?

Some are. Some aren't. There's really no other way to answer.

No political party exists as a monolith. They're all made up of people on all points of a spectrum.

In the case of the conservatives, you still have some old school Progressive Conservatives hanging around, along with some Reform/Alliance party harder right conservatives. And even some Trump style MAGA type conservatives.

As someone has already mentioned, PPC didn't split off because of idealogical differences, but because Bernier was pissy about losing the leadership.
