The official title of the Tories is the Conservative Party, and Harper is their leader.

But the point I'm trying to make that by American standards the Conservative Party of Canada isn't very conservative.

Well, even though he's only relatively conservative, I'm happy to see that Steyn thought Harper had the best performance in the debate.

Thanks!
