FUREY: Big tent conservatism has always included so-cons – is that changing?

Call me when Décarie ponies up the cover fee and then I’ll issue the obligatory post condemning his views. Until then, this one remains in “old man yells at cloud” status.

But many prominent Conservatives, still left reeling after their party was hammered for Andrew Scheer’s poor handling of social issues during the campaign, were quick to offer their condemnation of Décarie.

“I vehemently reject this message,” Conservative MP Michelle Rempel, well-regarded as a prominent defender of LGBT rights, wrote on social media. “I will not serve under someone whose leadership pitch is that someone’s sexuality is something to be ‘fixed’. I am full on tired of this type of s— defining the conservative movement in Canada.”
