"... Mr. Scheer needs to be emphatic in support of issues that matter to them, such as fighting climate change."

Pretty difficult to do in a party that is wholly-owned by the oil companies, ...
... and led by a guy who described himself as Stephen Harper 2.0"
.
The only issue the Conservatives really care about is climate change:  to make sure that nothing is done about it.
.
That has been their defining cause for 25 years.  It plays out in every policy position, and in their efforts to undermine democratic elections.  It permeates every nomination meeting. It drives funding. It drives their cynical pandering to social conservatives. It drives polarisation; third party advertising; and surreptitious internet campaigning. Oil oozes from every slimy pore of that party, and corrupts everything it does.
.
The Conservative Party is all about oil.
It is always about oil.
It is very nearly only about oil.
.
We have seen where that leads.

No thanks.
