Who ever said that Conservatives have to support free trade? Our society has spiraled downwards in every way since Mulroney increased it, yet no current Conservative leadership candidates question that policy. You'd think some would notice how weak our purchasing power parity is vis-a-vis the USA, and wonder why that happens if the theory that more trade produces higher prosperity is true ( its a very small percent of GDP for Americans compared to Canada). I have to support left wing parties despite being a natural Conservative and there must be some others like me, aren't there?  We are so messed if we try to stay open to globalization in Canada.
