No. For both France and Canada it’s hollowed out the middle, and both are facing upcoming elections between hard right and hard left as a result

Canada doesn't have any "hard right" party of note at the federal level.

Today, the Conservative Party is a centre-left party. They support big government, taxation, immigration, interventionism, and other policies that are inherently not compatible with "right wing" ideologies.

Comparing the Conservative Party's platform to that of the centrist People's Party makes the Conservative's centre-left positioning more obvious.

Recently, the Conservative Party's platform has more closely resembled the farther-left Liberal Party's platform than it has the centrist People's Party platform.

I would think that the social policies of the federal Conservative Party place it in Centre-Right to Right. It’d be closer to what you mention if Peter MacKay or Erin O’Toole had no opposition in 2020.

I understand that your political views might see the Tories as Centre-Left, but your pegging of the PPC as centrist strikes me as mischaracterizing the present federal landscape.

Canada does not have a hard left party.. The NDP is at best social democratic which is centre left.

Even the conservatives, while courting some hard right views, is arguably not that far right.. evne though I would put them firmly in the right wing.

The biggest issue facing Canada is that all of the parties support rising house prices. There's no variety, even under a multi-party system
