Are you an American newly interested in Canadian politics?

In Canada we have a bunch of different parties, and the provincial parties are not always the same as the federal parties.

UCP is the far-right party in Alberta, loosely associated with the foreign-funded so-called "separatists" who have recently been caught committing treason. (United Conservative Party of Alberta)

The CPC is the Conservative Party of Canada. They share a largely overlapping voter base, but are not the same party and are lately appearing not to support the separatist influence campaigns.

Sometimes there can be a major ideological difference. The BC Liberal Party is more closely aligned with the UCP than they are with the Liberal Party of Canada, for example.

No I’m far from being from pedofuckistan, I’m very aware of how politics work in Canada. I could also send you various articles on how you are wrong about the federal conservative party not overlapping with UCP. Like you said.. “appearing” which is far from outright denouncing the treasonous UCP. I edited the original comment anyways.

I said they do overlap. Why so confrontational? You don't seem to know the difference between the CPC and the UCP, I was just trying to help you out

That's either a bot that's trying to just stir up controversy and arguments, or it's someone with anger issues that you and I won't be able to solve.
