Increasingly, voters in the West are leaving the mainstream political parties. Across Europe there have been, and continue to be enormous, “historic shifts in politics, culture, and economics,” that are shaking up elections.
We've been hearing in recent years how Europe's voters are in full revolt
We've been hearing in recent years how Europe's voters are in full revolt, rejecting both mainstream politics and the progressive agenda. This rejection is not an overnight change or temporary phenomena; national populism has been building for several years. In addition, populism means “by the people,” from the Latin populus, the people.
Two recent events show cold politics trumps principle, truth, and freedom.
One: Andrew Scheer just punished one of his MPs, Michael Cooper, for speaking the truth. What Mr. Cooper said was not false, nor was it an attack on a witness. The CPC supported a move to erase a portion of Mr. Cooper’s testimony from the official government record of Justice Committee proceedings. Move over Winston Smith.
Two: Prime Minister Trudeau seeking to further divide Canadians on yet another issue declared that conservatives would alter access to abortions in Canada. Trudeau—based on events in another country, namely, legislation passed recently in some US States—was to set-up straw men to refute a proposition no one is pushing.
Trudeau uses fear-bombs packed with lies to scare voters
What Trudeau did— chose to chuck a fear-bomb packed with lies to scare voters hoping to prevent them fleeing the Liberal Party.
What Scheer did—based on his fear of the Media-party—was to ignore the facts so he could suck up to an identity group: Mr. Cooper spoke the truth while Scheer prefers to pander for support.
Authoritarians are not even hiding their contempt for democracy
In both examples, the Conservatives and the Liberal are quick to stifle debate to advance their respective narrow political agendas. They are taking their respective political calculations and testing them out ahead of the official September-October election campaign.
The abhorrent behavior of these senior politicians is the reason that memberships in the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) continues to grow. Maxime Bernier will not play the political correctness game. He is not willing to surrender free speech and public discourse to the gatekeepers of postmodernism. You can’t be blamed for seeing what’s being called the LibCon Deception.
Look at Nigel Farage in the UK and his Brexit Party.
In the recent May vote, they scored an historic victory. A sweet victory when you realize that the Brexit Party only came into being in 2019. It is not only the UK but also Denmark, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, and Hungary to name a few.
Canada is not immune to what Europe's voters seek
Canada is not immune to these shifts as voters seek a new party worthy of their support. Soon the polls moving closer to October will show even greater drop for support for the old parties.
What are disaffected voters looking for? In simple terms, they want policy that speaks to national and cultural issues. After several decades of abuse, citizens are pushing back. Voters are sick of disconnected politicians with low-regard for ordinary citizen, the taxpayer.
Our freedoms and democratic values are now at risk.
Economically, Canada continues to slide into the ditch as Trudeau acts as a dictator. His adherence to the UN, billions in foreign aid, SNC-Lavalin, and Mark Norman Affair are the actions of a treacherous man who is out of control against democracy.
Scheer is not looking any different; some observers suggest he is simply Trudeau 2.0. He is big on globalist ideas and whipped his caucus to support the Paris Accord. No doubt you've noticed, the Conservatives offer up only paper-thin policy-suggestions. You recall that Scheer is leader of the CPC due to support from corporate interests and shenanigans during the leadership campaign.
“Because of interest in what Mark and his fellow witnesses were to say, the meeting was scheduled to be televised. But, in the opening minutes of the hearing, the Liberals voted to un-televise it, and the remaining Tories voted with them.” Source, Steyn on Line
What is obvious is that the authoritarians are not even hiding their contempt for democracy, and for ordinary Canadians. Again, last week CPC supported an NDP motion at Justice Committee to cut the video feed of testimony of Mark Steyn, Lindsay Shepard, and John Robson. The legislators ran a star-chamber worthy of Orwell’s imagined Ministry of Truth. Yeah, damn right their censoring information, keeping it from the public.
Maxime Bernier quit the Conservative Party of Canada describing it as intellectually bankrupt to establish the People’s Party of Canada. Check for yourself, Mr. Bernier is not going to play the political correctness game, nor is he going to rollover on free speech like Mr. Scheer.
The People’s Party of Canada is the fastest growing party in Canadian history. Membership in the PPC is growing as voters’ pushback against increased censorship and the threats posed by mainstream parties.
Disaffected voters of the other parties will find a home in the PPC. They will discover the policy platform of the PPC is good for all Canadians. A paradigm shift is what it will take to save Canada.
As in Europe and UK, Canadian voters are tired of the neglect, increased taxation, uneconomic progressive policies, and the United Nations agenda.
The People’s Party of Canada has clear common sense ideas based on reason, science and logic founded in respect, freedom, responsibility, fairness, and respect. Finally, all the above serves to say, now is time to support the PPC candidate in your riding because we deserve respect.
