Conservatives at odds with their own ideals

A founding principle is, “a belief that the quality of the environment is a vital part of our heritage...”

According to their own website, a founding principle, and I quote, is, “a belief that the quality of the environment is a vital part of our heritage to be protected by each generation for the next.”

(Founding Principle #15 as listed on www.conservative.ca, the website of the Conservative Party of Canada.)

I wonder where polluting and energy intensive oil sands extraction, pipelines through mountainous terrain, watersheds and wildlife habitat, and fully loaded oil tankers plying West Coast inland waters fit in with this.
