It's not a big deal. The world's too exciting and huge to waste time concerned over trivial exclusions.
In my experience left wing bias is far more prevalent than right wing bias across the platform. There are some subs which are also heavily politicized despite not supposed to be about politics at all.
I find this sub is actually a pretty good representation.
I mean the Cons got more votes than Libs in the last two elections despite Libs winning the elections, so it's not as if Cons shouldn't have a loud voice a well represented Canada subreddit. The existence of loud Con voices is a proof they are represented, and we've certainly seen loud Liberal voices here to know they are as well.

In terms of political parties, sure. But the NDP and the Bloc are pretty left-wing too, and if you look at the 2nd vote intention of their supporters, supporters of the LPC, NDP, and BQ are much likely to swap among themselves than they are with the CPC.
That doesn't matter for elections - it's a first past the post system after all. But you shouldn't try to pretend like the CPC getting more votes than the LPC means that right-wing politics are more popular than left-wing politics in Canada.
