Conservative Parties in Canada
Conservative Parties in Canada primarily refer to the Conservative Party of Canada, which is one of the major political parties in the country. Formed in 2003 through a merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party, it aims to promote fiscal responsibility, lower taxes, and a strong national defense. The party traditionally appeals to center-right voters and emphasizes individual freedoms and market-driven policies.
Another notable conservative party is the People's Party of Canada, founded in 2018 by former Conservative MP Maxime Bernier. This party advocates for more radical conservative policies, including stricter immigration controls and a reduction in government intervention. Both parties play significant roles in shaping Canada's political landscape.
