The past few days have been very difficult on traditional conservatives in Canada. At the Conservative Party of Canada's national convention in Vancouver, delegates voted in favor of same-sex marriage and to progress along the path toward marijuana legalization.
Individual delegates at the party convention also caused a stir. As reported by Maclean's, a Canadian national current affairs magazine:

But it was Urz Heer, a 47-year-old delegate who works for Brampton MP Kyle Seeback, who made the more lasting impressing on the room. She broke down as she assailed the party for its strategy.
