Nor do I. Perhaps you should go back and re-read my post.
I'm fairly certain I am responding to one.
I'm sorry, I should have been more explicit perhaps. I'll try again by asking you "what is a progressive?" and "what is an elitist?" by your definition. If a person is not considered a progressive or an elitist, then what are they, what other labels should be applicable to them? I see the word progressive being used over and over again in a derogatory way online and media and here on City Data as though it's supposed to be recognized as an insulting character description that everyone will understand but I don't understand it. I've been referred to as a "dirty progressive" just for being a Canadian. What does progressive mean to the people who say stuff like that?
"Progressives" are the ones who have audacity and arrogance to think that only they know for sure that 1. the world needs to be changed, 2. that only they know how to change the world, 3. know what is good for me, and 4. eager to jam it down my throat.
That's my own definition. I release the copyright. Feel free to reuse.

By your definition, it would cover Christians of a variety of sects, the Hare Krishna movement, and proselytizers in general. You could include the US State Dept as well, which loves to pontificate on human rights and democratization around the world.

The right is increasingly anti-intellectual and has no time for using words in their accurate definitions. That’s why the centre left Liberal Party is “Marxist” and a billionaire like Kevin O’Leary can be a “populist” who is not one of the “elites”.
I don't think even Mad Max Bernier could do a worse job than the utterly incompetent moron sitting in the PM's office right now. Under the watch of the Trudeau Government, we have seen the introduction of a carbon tax that has literally done nothing but cause skyrocketing inflation, ramped up immigration targets at a time when we have less housing starts than we did in the 70's, and his administration blow more taxpayer's money than ALL OTHER FORMER CANADIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENTS COMBINED. If you can't see a correlation between these actions and the skyrocketing cost of living, you need to learn basic Economics 101.
But hey... Why worry? The budget will balance itself, right?
If it weren't for Bernier and his People's Party splitting the vote on the right, and siphoning off votes from the Conservatives, Trudeau and his Liberals would have been shown the door in the 2021 election.

Did they really take away that much support from the conservatives? Claiming they "split" the vote seems
like an exaggeration.

I don’t think that’s accurate. The ridings they performed the best in (high teens I believe) all went Conservative. The only place they weren’t 4th place at best were in rural Southern Ontario and the Prairies, which seats went Conservative
