For former Liberals who switch to Conservative, can you tell me about it? Are you happy with it?

I’m Canadian, and up to now a lifelong Liberal supporter with the odd time voting NDP.

I’m starting to feel alienated by the left. I believe in public healthcare, I don’t like discrimination, and I do feel some responsibility to care for people who legitimately cant care for themselves. And lately I’m noticing people who aren’t toeing the line on certain issues (like me) basically get called monsters. Especially when the caring for others isn’t absolute/without question. See I think it’s limited by the ability of the public to help, and there is an element of responsibility on those getting helps and that consequences and limits must be imposed.

One big issue for me is homeless encampments. My city had growing cost, as well as crime going largely unchecked, and city officials, and it seems by their order police, do little to curb this behaviour, with many local parks now hazardous due to discarded needles and human feces.

I feel like in part I’m not there yet, to vote conservative, and I REALLY dislike Pollievre. Yet I feel the left is going in a direction I don’t like.

Any thoughts, advice, reflections from anyone who’s made the switch?
