Kevin Flynn: On the face of it, you're correct. Most Canadians who identify as being Christian associate with mainline Christian religions, including Roman Catholicism and mainline Protestantism, whose members in both cases tend in general to hew to socially moderate or progressive views. However, by highlighting Mr. Scheer's socially-conservative voting record and his reliance on the support of his party's socially conservative membership, one reasonably has to believe the Libs will attempt to reinforce the perception that the unified Conservative Party, which includes the former Reform faction, is the political home of Canada's socially conservative Christian right.  Although I believe Mr. Scheer is a Roman Catholic, his leadership victory appears to have given the Libs a very loud dog-whistle to sound against the Christian right. I suspect the "hidden agenda" of the Christian right, which long haunted Harper's reign, is back in play in a big way for the Libs.
