The Western world is once again on the brink of an identity crisis. Between the elections in Canada and Australia, it’s becoming clear that something is shifting within conservatism. Instead of the usual old-school, stoic variety, what we’re now witnessing is a messy, populist-infused reimagining of conservatism that’s not necessarily more ideological, but certainly more colourful.

The results can be ridiculous.
