It's like in the States with all the Republicans (and some Democrats) who express deep concerns about everything Trump is doing, but then they still fall in line and vote to support (or at least not try to stop) all of his nonsense.

The UCP majority is small enough that a relatively small number of their members standing up against the use of the NWC would have been enough to stop it. The votes for the bill ended up being 44-37 through most of the motions (there were some fluctuations through the proceedings and the final vote was 44-33 as 4 NDP members didn't make the final vote at 2:00am).
4 UCP members standing up to vote No would have been enough to swing it to a 40-41 defeat. Or 8 UCP members just abstaining from the vote would have been enough for it to be defeated.
