There are numerous examples of elitist, establishmentarian "conservatives" acting like bureaucratic, authoritarian [[Conservative Inc.|gatekeepers]].
* ''The [[Conservative Party of Canada]] arrests a journalist:'' Ahead of the 2019 Canadian federal election, CPC candidate and Leader of the Opposition [[Andrew Scheer]] had seasoned [[Rebel News]] journalist David Menzies put in handcuffs and escorted off the premises for simply asking him questions.<ref>https://thepostmillennial.com/banana-republic-behaviour-rebel-reporter-on-his-ejection-arrest-at-conservative-campaign-event/</ref> Arresting journalists is one of the hallmarks of an authoritarian regime, and this was only the Leader of the Opposition. Scheer has since resigned from the party leadership position in disgrace.
* ''[[CPAC]] removes Gavin McInnes and Owen Shroyer for no reason at all:'' "Alt-lite" personalities Gavin McInnes of ''Censored.tv'' and Owen Shroyer of [[InfoWars]] were kicked out of CPAC 2020 within days of each other. They were removed from the Conservative Political Action Conference without reason, and they had followed all of CPAC's rules and guidelines.
