CALGARY—UCP delegates voted on Nov. 4 to adopt policies rejecting Ottawa’s 2035 net-zero emission targets, along with a number of other policies, such as upholding parental rights in schools and not having sexually explicit content in schools.

The delegates, who gathered at the BMO Centre in downtown Calgary for the two-day annual convention that started on Nov. 3, voted in support of all but one of the 30 short-listed policy resolutions.
