'Traditional Conservativism' had no time for corporations, and would be the first to champion anti-trust, anti-cartel action and deplore the ongoing, endless corporate subsidies. Party Conservatives are corporate flunkies to a man, case in point being anyone and everyone in the Harper cabinet. Oddly enough, the old Social Credit (G. G. McGeer, etc.) understood that our society's most deadly poison is Usery, which is excessive interest or borrowing fees that keep the debtor in debt in perpetuity. McGeer wrote "You can have Peace and Prosperity, but you cannot have Peace and Usery." That's "Traditional Conservativism" along the lines of Adam Smith, which rejects 'rentier' (non-productive) capital, which has simply drowned our system in debt.
