Canadian Conservative Party leadership race

Populism on the rise in Canada as “unelectable” Pierre Poilievre sweeps Conservative leadership

Pierre Poilievre dispensed the naysayers in the Canadian Conservative leadership convention and swept the top job on the first ballot, something that hasn’t happened since Stephen Harper kicked off his political dynasty in 2004.

The Poilievre movement brought 300,000 new members into the Conservative Party (myself and my wife included), which resulted in 68% of votes. The Laurentian elite anointed (and media approved) candidate was Jean Charest,  who was clubbed like a baby seal, stitching together a mere 16% of the vote. This morning Charest announced his departure from politics.

(Article is pretty good. Read the rest at link above)

I would like to offer a thought of my own about the victory of Pierre Poilievre to the leadership of the Conservative Party of Canada.

The history of story telling has a theme that goes back thousands of years, and it’s a theme that could destroy us right here and right now.

That theme is one of a hero and saviour of mankind, who comes with something amazing and saves us all and then is usually destroyed, killed, or eternally punished for it, usually on a hill. This goes from before from Prometheus to after Neo of the Matrix.

This theme is profoundly destructive in this instance because it will allow our own complacency to destroy what is left of our freedoms.

Let me state clearly that is Pierre Poilievre is every last thing we think and hope he is, it means not one damn thing if we do not take this opportunity to fight for ourselves and our freedoms.

Stephen Harper also promised to defund the CBC when he was running for office. Was he lying? Did he not really want to do it? No we hasn’t and of course he did. CBC practiced critical theory against Harper at every turn. They called him a racist in nearly every sketch their alleged comedy people wrote on CBC radio and the “news” was worse. Canadians did nothing expecting that since he was the PM he could do all the work that needed by magic. Well he can’t. Even Trump couldn’t and Trump was massively accomplished.

But frankly, all that matters is we have someone who even makes claims to want to set Canada right in a position like his. Even if Poilievre is a fraud (and I do not think he is) it doesn’t matter if we take this opportunity to get it right. Pierre is the symbol we need to do the things we have to do. Go to protests. Make your voices heard at the office and social settings the way the left have, and normalize reality again.

OPPOSE all the communist measures that are now in place everywhere (and are the normal and only allowed positions) vocally and in every other way you can short of crime.

Pierre’s victory is not our victory. It is merely a door and a path to victory. WE have to walk it. There really isn’t much he can do, even if elected Prime Minister. We have to give him a mandate to act, and act ourselves. We have to put the communists and authoritarians in retreat. Military personnel can now react to the placement of Political Officers (Diversity Inclusion Equity etc) at the top of all command chains and go back to merit and purpose if they fight for it.

We have a symbol now we can rally behind. Start the wheels now. If he gets elected PM then double your efforts. But this ship won’t be steered away from the iceberg unless we all grab the wheel. Remember it is headed for one because the people commanding the ship actually want it to hit the iceberg. Just getting a captain we like does nothing except give us access to the engine room and equipment lockers.

Start demanding consideration for Christian, Orthodox Jewish, Greek, Byzantine values and classical liberal values instead of the negating destructive anti-reason of the communist left in all things now in Canadian culture and institutions.

Start this week. Saturday, large protests with speakers and so on are planned all over the place. Find out where the one closest to you, or where you can be the most effective and go. Many of us are afraid of what will happen if we are seen supporting the fight for basic liberties. But by now it should be obvious that hiding from the fight means you lose without even knowing you tried, and is a huge betrayal to the people who have indeed sacrificed everything to stand up to the totalitarians.

The doctors, the nurses, the family people, the truck drivers, the people who owned mom and pop businesses that got walloped for donating to them. Now is the time to join them because we have someone who at least pays lip service to the idea that we are right. And that person has given us a shot at winning back our liberal democracy and restoring truth and reality from this Trudopian, Neo-leninist goo we live in now.

We have to be the army behind Poilievre, and Maxime Bernier for that matter, that make the left know they are done. The leaders cannot do it alone no matter how much they want to. And Canadians are famously complacent. So it is a big, big ask.

FIND a way to support any movement that allows freedom of speech, and the injection of truth into the public forum. Make yourself heard. Put some of your resources into it. Support people who speak for you in one way or another and preferably in all ways. This, my dear Canadian friends, is for all the marbles. And the old way won’t work. We know how a few violent leftists managed to take over whole parts of cities in the US and declare them autonomous zones and they were called, “Mostly peaceful protests” by the media, while a few hundred unarmed middle class protestors at Capitol Hill…

This speaks to the reality of politics today. There won’t be a saviour in the literary sense. Only someone who opens the door. It is up to us to walk through it.

  2. I have vacillated on Bernier vs P for numerous reasons. Thank you, Eeyore, for articulating all my doubts and hopes. We must make P our representative. It is my hope that P invites B to join him. This would settle any doubts..

    • Same here, Johnnyu.
      I doubted Poilievre but when I listened to his wife speak, my doubts evaporated.

      Here is Max, some 15 minutes ago. He makes a good point.

      What would you prefer?

      A majority Conservative government and no PPC MPs?

      Or a minority with PPC having the balance of power to keep them honest and accountable, and prevent them from shifting left again?

    • BTW, my only issue with Poilievre is: He didn’t address the vaxx mandates until close to the end of his campaign.

      And there is this:

      Herbert Powell #53 ??????@P_HerbMichaels

      The question people need to ask themselves is, would CPC messaging and leadership have changed without the existence of the PPC?

      If the answer is no, then now you know why PPC exists.

  5. I thoroughly agree with the sentiments presented. We need to stop expecting a savior and instead roll up our sleeves and get involved in resisting critical theory in all its forms.

    We don’t need a grand Savior (aside from One I could name) but we need many heros. That’s potentially all of us. It won’t be easy but it certainly is necessary.
