I believe you are discussing Canada’s Overton window, which is specific to whatever population you are evaluating. For any given population it is nearly part of the definition that around half are considered left of center and half are right of center. Discrepancies happen because the Overton window of the population, and the corporate branding of parties, may not match.
What is considered right-of-center for Canada might be considered left-of-center if looking at the US population.
If you go based on something closer to original meanings, relating to centralization-vs-decentralization of governance, all of Canada's federal parties that have seats in the House of Commons are Right Wing parties.
One of the reasons I've only ever voted once for an NDP nominated candidate is because the corporate culture of the corporate fan club part of the party (the part that is outside of parliament -- separate from the caucus) is even more top-down hierarchical than the Liberal Party of Canada. That one time there was a candidate in my district I believed would represent us as constituents rather than acting as staff for the party.
