I read The Rising Danger of Radical Conservatism in Canada with genuine interest. The anxiety it reflects is real. Political anger is growing, trust is eroding, and too many conversations now begin from a place of suspicion instead of curiosity. That deserves serious attention.
But the article makes a mistake that has become increasingly common in Canadian commentary. It treats conservatism itself as the danger, rather than distinguishing between a political philosophy and the behaviours that can distort it.
Those are not the same thing.
