Yes and no. It would be better to say that about half of our Conservatives sit slightly to the right of the Dems. The other half - the former Reform party of which Pollievre is one - are an actively regressive, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic party who want to destroy abortion access, collapse our education system and sell off our healthcare, and would get along very well with the GOP (hence why Trump spoke so favourably of Pollievre and why Pollievre refuses to ever say anything bad about Trump).

And here's the thing; the half of our Conservatives who aren't openly fascist have no problem allying with the half who are. Which just makes them fascists too. We shouldn't kid ourselves about this. Canadian Conservatives want to do everything the GOP is doing, they're just not there yet.

The big difference between Canada and the US, isn't in the quality of our Conservatives, its in the fact that our Conservatives have to mask their more horrific tendencies to get the average person to vote for them.
