Bio
It is worth noting that, although he did vote in favour of this unjust by-law on its 3rd and final reading, he initially voted against it on its 1st and 2nd readings, citing his concerns about the municipality overstepping it jurisdiction and his unease at passing legislation on moral issues (see Quotes tab).

Here are quotes from Linton Delainey on various life and family issues:
Expressing some reservations about the unjust Conversion Therapy Ban by-law: "(Councillor Delainey) outlined (that the by-law) could be hard to enforce and laws such as this should be lead by the provincial or federal governments. He doesn’t believe municipalities should be getting involved in creating laws on moral issues, especially when it’s currently under review in the Senate. He did support third reading. 'Whatever we do, the law of the land will override these anyhow. We’re sending a message, it’s true, but I still think it should come from a provincial or federal level,' Delainey said." [The Sherwood Park-Strathcona County News, 'Strathcona County first Alberta municipality to pass bylaw against conversion therapy', Sept. 27, 2019]
