The Republican Party isn't really right wing, or if it is, it's because you're warped your definition to fit the party. There's an actual Libertarian Party that fits the definition better. It's like you're saying the Democratic Party is
the party of environmentalists, when you actually have a Green Party competing in the same election.
The GOP is a "conservative" party, sure.
In Canada as well, there are the (centrist, somewhat socially conservative) federal Tories, and there's the LPC (Libertarian Party of Canada) that also exists.
