, which also stressed the need for highly-polluting businesses to take more responsibility to reduce emissions.
The results of the vote will be a blow to Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, who told the party’s grassroots in a Friday evening speech that an ambitious climate change agenda is a must if the party hopes to win power.The motion expanding the party’s existing policy on the environment was one of the most contentious of the package put before delegates.
To make it into the party’s official policy, motions need what’s known as a double majority: a majority of delegates as well as a majority of delegates in a majority of provinces. The motion on climate change had the fiercest opposition from the western provinces, with delegates from New Brunswick and Quebec showing the most support.

OtooleTheFool
Just end this shit ass party already
Give yer heads a shake!
Goodbye CPC_HQ
Canada’s face is red.
Yee-haw!!!
'enshrine'? A big NO.
HillNikki Climate change? What climate change? Nope, nothing wrong here. It's business as usual. The key term here is BUSINESS. Yup, they are beholden to Big Gas and Oil Companies. That much is very clear.
'Conservatives vote down science and general good sense' 😂
Good grief
Are the Conservatives determined to hand Justin another term? erinotoole . Get your people with the program Erin.
Did they resolve to keep their heads up their asses instead?
How far-sighted of them, unable to see the forest for the oil sands.
Congratulations erinotoole and CPC_HQ on losing at least 1 vote.
The ipcc forecast has been wrong and it’s bad science thete will be court battle coming for the liers
Begin with the TrudeauFailedClimateChangePM end in mind or six more years of TrudeauTreesWillPlantThemselvesPM
erinotoole CPC is trying hard to ensure we are stuck with JustinTrudeau Boy Wonder for another term.
Is anyone surprised? This is the party that makes the sign of the evil eye whenever the word science is mentioned. Perfectly willing to leave successive generations flying through space on a flaming tarball as long as they make their money.
How very, very shortsighted and foolish
Another nail in the coffin of the conservatives. O’toole just keeps driving them in.
A carbon tax isn’t a plan, does nothing for the climate, it’s just another tax. Don’t believe me? See BC.
Erin, another failure to your long list of failures!!!
Not really O’Toole’s fault. As long as CPC lets the knuckle daggers control the party, it has no hope of unseating the Libs. Like the GOP to our south, fiscal conservatives with a social conscience now have nowhere to go.
In related news, CPC members vote to set the value of pi to 22/7, as a far more convenient value than some irrational number.
Regressive Conservatives
Has anyone ever touched erinotoole to makes sure he’s not made of silly putty? He looks way too squishy for my vote.
If you like the 50s you’ll love this party.
And they expect to win an election
Making sure everyone knows it’s the party of climate change deniers.
Without an aggressive position on climate, Cons cannot win the youth vote. They will continue to be seen as an ancient party of old Anglo Saxon guys.
Erin, it took the Catholic Church 359 years to change and accept Galileo's science!....and you're the bride that thinks that the CPOC will change!!
Even my most conservative and rabidly Trudeau hating friend admitted Singh is starting to look like a better alternative to the Liberals. O'Toole is not the leader Canada needs.
Buh-bye, losers. cdnpoli CPC_HQ cpc2021 CPC21
So will erinotoole resign then? It's obvious CPC_HQ does not share his vision for the party's future.
Idiots. No wonder no one supports them.
No interested in the Canadian GOP Lite that creeps like Harper created. Mixing religious beliefs into party politics is a great way to alienate a swath of society.
They're really trying their hardest to lose the election, eh?
O'Toole is making sure we don't get a Conservative government... so to me he's the best Conservative leader possible
That’s okay my policy book states that the Conservative party is not real
This should sink CPC_HQ Either you’re FOR the future, or you’re NOT. You folks need to move past the 1980s, sorry, industrial revolution, for heaven’s sake. My 3 kids & 7 grandchildren deserve green energy solutions neverotoole
In other related news.... The Conservative Party of Canada is perfectly happy with being rejected by 88% of all Canadians under 30.
It sounds like O'toole is running for the leadership of the Liberal party. What he says that he wants, and what party members want are quite far apart.
Ok. Seems like shooting themselves in the foot is their favourite sport now.
In the hands of the unthinking.
O'Toole appeals for change. And what do delegates do? Same old stance on climate change...
OtooleSucks
