That it has taken so long for the Conservative Party of Canada to accept same-sex marriage, as Erica Lenti wrote in Torontoist, is astounding.

According to the platform, which was last amended in November 2013, the Conservative Party “believe[s] that Parliament, through a free vote, and not the courts should determine the definition of marriage.

Personal opinion?

People like Trost and Lukiwski are a continuing blot on the party they built on the bones of the Progressive Conservatives. They also sully the reputation of Saskatchewan, and as someone who grew up there, I don't like that much.

Trost might do well to look at the fate of former MP Jim Pankiw. When Pankiw proved unacceptable to the new Conservative Party his subsequent attempts at winning a seat, and the mayor's office in Saskatoon, failed. Like Pankiw it's safe to assume a lot of people have voted for Trost due to his party branding, not their support for him specifically.
