The CPC put a motion asking to remove oil and gas emissions cap that was defeated earlier this year, yet all of a sudden it's part of the budget. That's politics.

I think you’re misinterpreting what I’m saying. You are using the term criticize to define their entire role and my view is that while criticism definitely needs to be a part of their role at times it shouldn’t be their default position or primary objective. That approach is one of the biggest problems in politics these days.
They need to be their to provide counter points and/or different perspectives but that doesn’t always happen nor need to happen in a way that has to be defined as criticism.

If you are talking about d'Entremont, the CPC deserves to fall apart. Poilievre almost single handedly turfed their chances of governing in what should have been the biggest gimme election they could have dreamed. Carney and the Liberals also wouldn't have won the election if MPs within the party didn't do a full blown mutiny against Trudeau. All of a sudden, the bloc defending carbon taxes starts bashing it as soon as Trudeau is out of the picture, and now it's gone. Funny how that happens..

I’m just talking about how accountability shouldn’t be a partisan thing. I know, I know pipe dream but I think the voters can play a role in addressing the problem.
