Caplan's shallow analysis is limited to politics. He says that the CPC employed "mean and bigoted policies to satisfy their base", and this is the sort of assessment you could expect from someone who ignores the real world and the problems we face. Typical liberal arrogance. If anything, the CPC has lost touch with conservative principles and its base. In recent years, the party has failed to bring forward solutions that will solve real problems created largely by unworkable and unrealistic socialist policies implemented by the left. Instead, the CPC tried to win voters with liberal handouts and other app appeasements. The CPC must revisit conservatives values and principles before it elects a new leader. Only then can the party off Canadians workable solutions to the devastation that liberalism and socialism is causing, morally, socially, and economically.
