If conversion therapy ban was unanimous, why are Cons revolting now?
As I understand it, the ban passed after the election was a little stricter than the one that died before the election.
How can they be angry about something they were unanimously united for?
From a CBC article
A senior Conservative source close to O'Toole, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said this revolt stems from the December vote on the conversion therapy ban.
That source said the "far right of the party" is angry that O'Toole let that Liberal government legislation pass through both chambers at the end of the last session.
This source said Conservative MP Garnett Genuis is "spearheading the coup because he was in Latvia when we gave unanimous consent to make conversion therapy illegal."
