I’ve blogged about the votes that Conservative delegates took on abortion and same-sex marriage. Those are two high-profile hot-button issues that are attracting a lot of interest, not only by media types (like me), but also by delegates. Many have told me that the sole reason they travelled here from all parts of the country was to vote on those issues.
But Conservatives are adopting policies today on a raft of other issues. This morning, it’s all policy stuff and there are nearly 100 policy resolutions, almost all of which are being passed by comfortable majorities. Some of these policy positions are long, running several paragraphs. I’ll try to present a more comprehensive list of policy positions adopted by the Tories later today as I have time.
Some of the topics that these policy positions touch on include: Firearms control, tax relief, export of freshwater, defence policy, transportation, border security, agriculture and supply management, and foreign aid.
