OTTAWA — Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole has made it clear he wants to move past debates about the existence of climate change, but the party’s national policy convention this weekend has shown it’s not so simple with his party’s base.
On Friday night, O’Toole gave a keynote speech to the convention promising his party will put forward a serious environment plan. “We cannot ignore the reality of climate change,” O’Toole said. “The debate is over.”
An acknowledgement of climate change exists as formal CPC policy.
Climate change isn’t really the issue however, it’s just a flashpoint and the CPC braintrust has missed that as usual.
It’s the constant kowtowing by the CPC to the lib-left media agenda across a range of issues that people hate, the evident shift to the left by the party leadership is galling to many, hated even more than having “climate change” shoved down their throat.
O’Toole and the CPC are over, they can’t even talk to their base any longer.
