> There was a new party in that election led by a man named Maxime Bernier called the People's Party. They're a far-right populist party and generally awful.

Describing the PPC as "far-right" is a good way to out yourself as far-left.

It’s not much of an “outing” to reveal that I believe the Canada they want is antithetical to my belief system, and that I find the party thoroughly disgusting and worthy of mockery.

Again, to describe the PPC as "far-right" is to make a mockery of reality and out yourself as far-left. It doesn't matter if you think they're "antithetical to your belief system".

Or are you one of those childish people who throw around "far-right" as a synonym for "anything I don't like"?
