👋. I was a member of the federal PCs back in the day. I worked on both Mulroney campaigns, voted for him once, and even voted for Kim Campbell. I continued to support the party until the Reform takeover. Moderate PCs were very much made to feel unwelcomed, and I didn't support most of what became policy.

I've been voting Liberal since. Which was a big jump for me. But the CPC aren't conservative. They're right-wing, populist reactionaries.

A right proper Tory as I live and breathe, I thought you all went extinct when Peter MacKay turned over the keys.

I'm just kidding with you, I feel like your story is probably common enough with people who were considered red Tories back in those days.
