This is nice and I wish we could see more of it.
After Justin Trudeau finished apologizing on Tuesday for the wrongs committed by the federal government against sexual minorities, Andrew Scheer rose to second that apology. This is remarkable.
Mr. Scheer put the Conservative Party solidly onside with the Liberals in regretting "a terrible and unfair moment in the history of the federal government of Canada," as the Opposition Leader put it.
I wonder how Brad Trost and Jason Kenney feel about that?
Andrew Scheer understands, as Stephen Harper did (but Trost doesn't), that trying to fight battles that have already been lost can only damage the party. I bet some small minority of backwoods cranks are mad about that, but I think most Conservative members and supporters get it.
