I'm not surprised by the the points made at the convention. They confirm my fears that peoples attraction to conservative party of Canada are small minded, bigots, ill informed, and greedy.

Surprisingly, the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers have a mascot costume of a cute dog in uniform for public events. I can't think of why they need a furry prison guard to provide outreach to children. There is even pictures of them at a furry picnic
