@JustinTrudeau @ErinOTooleMPTrudeau asks #LPC21 delegates to reach out to those who didn't vote Liberal last time, had a blue or orange sign on their lawn, and this is important he says, "listen to the things that they need us to do even better. "
So I'm not sure what the results of the Liberals' vote at #LPC2021 (or #LPC21 ) was/is. @MonaFortier signed off and didn't give the results but I have asked @braedencaley and judging by the side chatter I am not the only person looking for the final policy votes.
Meanwhile in a few minutes, @ErinOTooleMP will be addressing the Canada Strong and Free Network conference (the revamped Manning networking conference) -- bu #cdnpoliy weekend.
@ErinOTooleMP says provinces have been the lead on pricing carbon through industrial emissions, and we @CPC_HQ ( ) are going to respect that approach and try to have a federal approach that works with it... Later adds, that he will have a plan that "is not Mr Trudeau's carbon tax"
Asked what government programs or spending O’Toole would cut, he points only to CBC English Television and CBC's digital offering, which competes with the private sector (no mention of Rad-Can's French TV service). [Full disclosure: I get paid to appear on CBC radio and TV.]
Are you Liberal light? Lilley asks for two policy differences between him and Justin Trudeau. @ErinOTooleMP points to his policy @CBCn and rail blockades, he also speaks about his policy on China, the Liberals weak position on world stage, Trudeau's "corruption" (ethics).
Top 10 resolutions at #LPC2021 You can see a few themes here, and big support for basic income. Full list and resolutions here:

I just want to take a moment to note how wonderful it is to live in a country where our political leaders come together in a time of crisis and act in the best interests of the country, and what message that sends to all Canadians.
