Canada's House of Commons erupted into a scene of cheers and cross-party hugs on Wednesday, December 1, 2021, as MPs unanimously adopted a motion presented by a Conservative MP to fast-track the passage of a Liberal government bill banning conversion therapy for LGBTQ Canadians.

The so-called therapy is widely discredited as a harmful practice, aimed at trying to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity. 

Months before triggering the vote, the federal agency in charge of running elections commissioned its first stand-alone survey into the level of trust Canadians had in the electoral process.

Liberals and Conservatives took aim at each other's candidates on Monday, August 30, 2021, questioning past statements and actions to build a character case about why they, and not their opponent, should be trusted to govern after election day.

While Erin O’Toole has tried to present a positive and policy-oriented face to Canadians during this election campaign, he is stewarding a party that still boils with hatred for his opponent, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

Three Conservative MPs who sought the party's leadership earlier this year are bracing for a fight to represent the party at all come the 2019 election.

Conservative MP Kerry Diotte called Progress Alberta a “fake news outfit" in a now-deleted tweet.
