what are Conservatives trying to conserve ?

A party with the name Conservative. That is all. The Reform Party, as they were originally known, has never pretended to be conservative with respect to governance.

Let's not forget that glorious period where they were called the Conservative Reform Alliance. Which everybody in the world instantly turned into the Conservative Reform Alliance Party.

For the sake of the next reader who might entertain repeating this: Technically it was the Canadian Conservative Reform Alliance, or CCRAP.

Canadian CRAP, yes. Absolutely. It was Canadian CRAP.
