Conservatives from across the country gathered at the party’s convention in Calgary this past weekend. There, party delegates showed strong support for Pierre Poilievre to lead the party into the next federal election as he received 87.4% of the vote.
Rebel News was at the convention, where Alberta- and Saskatchewan-based Rebels Syd Fizzard and Lise Merle discussed whether the party could continue to count on support from Western Canadians as independence movements grow.
The Conservatives are “absolutely not” delivering on the issues that matter to Westerners, said Lise, a bestselling LGBTQ author, pointing to the delegates’ failure to adopt a policy proposal addressing parental rights.
“I don’t understand how we are still describing this issue as contentious or somehow divisive,” the author of Buck the Rainbow Unicorn said. “It is absolutely not divisive for Conservatives to conserve things like childhood, like families, like the wellbeing of our communities.”
