You'd have supported RB Bennett's Hoover-esque Nazi-loving Tories?

Roch LaSalle was the MP for my family's birthplace. He was a good constituency MP (he delivered passports door-to-door to those who had asked for one), had a massive personal vote.

The Tories were not "pro-Quebec" (as ridiculous of a phrase that is) but rather supported the far-right clerical elite which controlled Quebec as a theocratic dictatorship until 1960. Until the Tories became the party of WASPs nationwide.

Point #1: Looking at it at the time I would have yes. The Liberals had failed to keep the nation out of depression, so it was quite likely that I would have supported the Conservatives simply because of my own economic concerns.

Did any party/leader in the world (excluding isolated places) keep their country out of the 1929 depression? There sure isn't much of those in the Americas.

Mulroney was a scumbag opportunist. He didn't care about Quebec nationalism, he allied to them purely for political gain.

The UFA in particular and the Progressives in general had nothing in common with the Tories. In fact, they were very dissimilar (though many Progressives were Unionists in 1917).
