“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse doe to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”

That was my dad’s thinking as well. He used to say, “I never vote, it only encourages them”. Now I get it.

Unfortunately I think that is not the answer. I think we need to vote, but I think we need to also focus more on local voting. But who knows, there’s so much corruption built into the system it seems insurmountable. We’ll see how Danielle Smith does. Did y’all listen to this podcast? A lot about the alberta college of surgeons and physicians in there...completely corrupt and rotten to the core!!

Call it a vote for Trudeau but I will continue voting #PPC in future elections as I have in the past. As you point out there’s only a sliver of daylight between the three main parties. And the PPC have the only platform that can be called conservative in any sort of historical sense....and to a certain extent it’s all just meaningless politics...unless there is a true ‘revival’ of Canadian citizens, and a return to the values that made our great country, it is lost regardless of who we vote for. Rant over 😉

Don't let anyone con you with the old "Don't split the vote" line. I look straight at them and tell them "Works great for the Liberals & NDP". It's NOT a vote for Trudeau. It's a vote for the PPC and they deserve it.

It's not a vote for Trudeau. That argument assumes the PPC voter would vote Conservative under a given circumstance. Many PPC voters would not vote at all if the PPC was not on the ballot.

I voted PPC last time but I won't this time. Quite frankly, I don't believe PPC will ever form government, and I'm not sure that I would trust them to form government anymore. Max got out of Canada last winter before the border closed to the unvaccinated and stayed in the US for a number of months. He's also not been able to get elected in his own riding - which I'll admit bothers me. The PPC platform is actually much more libertarian than conservative - and I did believe it was the best platform last time. I'm in a strong CPC riding so I have no guilt about splitting the vote, I just no longer believe that I'm making a difference by voting PPC. (I lean more libertarian than conservative anyways - so would be great if PPC could form government. But I just don't see it happening.)

There's only one party. There has only ever been one party. It's the scene for the Matrix where you have to decide what pill you're going to take. Making marks on a paper every four years is the blue pill; it's always been the blue pill.

Don’t be so sure. If Brazil’s military takes over and people in the US demand the heads of Democrats, media and Deep State on a platter based on what some are now learning about what they did to steal an election it may no longer be cool to be a libtard progressive piece of crap. Being part of the group is very important to them socially and this may be a group they don’t want to be part of.

That’s crazy. I was just thinking how vocal Pierre used to be and how now he doesn’t address anything. I have completely lost hope in Canada.

Party of Toronto controls the CPC. Pierre is on a short leash. He can't call climate change a scam, he can't call for limited immigration while we catch up, he can't call out the COVID madness, he's allowed to criticize inflation, but not to hard because it would bump up against sacred carbon taxes.

One choice, vote #PPC. The CPC is not going to win in any case. Better to vote your values.

I agree on the federal conservatives. CINO's. And that boys and girls is why I am voting PPC. All of the others are in favour of digital ID (formerly vax-pass).

To stop that USE CASH whenever and wherever you can. If we don't keep using cash they will phase it out and that is the endgame for them. As an added bonus the small businesses you buy from will not pay the 5-7% Visa/MC tax.

Don't know about the election in early 2023. Could happen but I doubt it.

People hate Trudeau.

Just like Jan/Feb 2022 when most of us felt isolated because we could “see” what was happening but felt alone and then....The Truckers !!! Look at the people that stood on overpasses, roadsides and cheered them on. That’s our 🇨🇦 Canada.

I stopped wearing masks a long time ago but for fun would occasionally wear my F🇨🇦CK TRUDEAU mask. I received so many compliments and a lot of them from young people. Don’t give up, we will get rid of that weasel, then, we’ll have a party in the streets.

I will vote conservative but I hear ya loud and clear. It's scary times with too many loser libtards voting for free money that in the long term hurts more than it helps in the short term.

I keep wanting to be wrong...desperately hoping...

Why can't I just be wrong...I really want to be. Make them make me wrong for once!

I have had several email contacts with Mr. Baber, Mr. Poilièvre & Ms. Lewis... my feeling is that all three are excellent and honest people.

They are just frank & honest people.

But here's the thing: would they be able to do anything right in the face of the WEF's department of "dirty tricks"?

Grab a John Perkin's book. These young global leaders are terrible people.

There is no way to vote against the interests of the parasite class because they own both parties. Continuing to buy into the two-party paradigm perpetuates their divide and conquer scheme which seems to be working quite well.

You should send this directly to PIerre! Or can I? I have started feeling very much like what you describe. In Ontario we have Ford feeding the Liberals all sorts of mess that JT will try to use to paint the province and federal party’s as one! That will give JT Ontario. He has to get out more with his plan also - if Justin wins the next time it will be a majority and Canada will fall!

Fire it on over to him...he stopped listening to me and I'm guessing was part of the reason that I was bounced from LinkedIn...I was completely scorching the CPCs, Poilievre and Bergen specifically for their failure throughout COVID.

What a disappointment Pierre has been. Seemingly the lesson needs to be learned over and over again- if you choose not to be a TRUE conservative as leader, you will lose the election. Speaking of disappointments- why is there no appetite for separation in the western provinces? How much worse does it need to get? I have the feeling we are about to find out.

I think there actually is more appetite for Western Separation...but because we are already being demonized for it and look like we're outnumbered through the Media Lens...we sit back quietly as we've done for the last 7 years.

I'd be in for a Western separation, however, living in BC we have too many people that support handouts (NDP) and are afraid of freedom (Liberals). Not enough freedom loving independent thinking people in BC! ☹️

I get that Bob. BC would definitely not be part of the movement; I'm talking the 3 prairie provinces. But even in the prairies, despite repeatedly having their federal votes be nullified by liberal ON, QC, maritimes and BC again and again, there is no appetite for separation. Just BOHIC from Justin over and over and over. I'm feeling like maybe they're starting to like it? Is it a Stockholm syndrome thing?

You've answered your own question. The programming has created dependency. Repeating my unpopular opinion: This won't end via voting & that process won't start until there's been sufficient suffering to break the programming. See Yuri Bezmenov's lectures from the mid-80s on demoralization of a society. This is New Canada.

but there wont be more suffering because there will be more handouts..... and so the cycle perpetuates.

The suffering is inbound in many forms: Food & energy scarcity, illness, political repression, monetary dislocations, etc. It's barely started & a few hundred dollars won't change anything. If that sounds over-the-top, then it's because we are operating with different info sets. 2023-24 will be historic.

Put another way: How many coups end via ballots?
