Political position

I believe this short description should read "centre to centre right". My belief is that the conservative party is equal distance from the centre as the liberal party is (to opposite sides of course). The Ontario liberal page says "centre to centre left" and I think it is agreeable that both parties exemplify centrist policies. I think there should be consistently in how the political party is portrayed in respect to the liberal party, especially given the current Ontario PC government's shift towards the centre.

This perspective is aligned with most sources. The PCPO tends to fluctuate its stance between centre and centre-right depending on the leader and time period. I endorse this change. Humberland (talk) 19:35, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
