I feel awful for Based Canadians. Can't even have a tiny corner of the internet to discuss the fall of their own civilization. Ruled and dictated to by the weak is not the way to live.
Your calls for moderation, neoliberalism, lolbertarianism, and racial kumbaya are luxuries we could afford thirty years ago when the country was 95%+ white.
Since then all major political parties have worked to turn the country less than 60% white. As other demographics rise in numbers and completely take over cities, workplaces, universities, and electoral districts the agenda becomes clear. Once they gain a shred of power in our country they veer towards racial solidarity, in-group bias, and advocacy for their own racial interests while attacking the interests of the current racial majority as "racist", "bigoted", "terrorist", "nazism", and "white supremacy".
While publicly funded governments, workplaces, and universities openly and actively discriminate against us you tell us to stick our heads back in the sand. The only time you want us to recognize our own racial identity is when you want to instill guilt, lecture us about our privilege, or attack us for the supposed misdeeds of our ancestors. Otherwise we must remain completely color blind and not care about race unless it's about somebody else's race.
"BUT GUYS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RACE JUST LIKE THE LEFTISTS AND THEY'RE THE REAL NAZIS GUYS"
We're not buying what you're selling anymore. We see the fruits of your limp-wristed neoliberal labor and we're not interested. We see where it's going and we see where it will eventually lead. We have woken up and we are not going back to sleep.
You had one job. Make sure the forum is free of spam, illegalities, and off-topic discussions. Instead you decided to turn this place into your own personal political vanity project for your pathetic, cowardly, outdated neoliberal cuckservative view of the world.
Christ man, either this is an excellent demonstration of the horse shoe theory or there really are a bunch of Lib's in Con's (or PPC's) clothing in here.
I'm shocked (actually not at all) that you got dv'd to hell.
Apparently you're NOT allowed to have an opinion that differs... the irony of this demonstration of hive mentality will be entirely missed by those who dv'd you. ?
To be honest the anti Semitic, Hitler is actually a good guy, screw everyone who's a different color is getting tiring.
We all agree mass immigration sucks, we should allow people that align with our countries historical interests, and we aren't racist because we like our white picket fence culture. I think we all agree that the media is inciting race wars, our courts and country is playing favorites and we are leaving our semblances of meritocracy.
But the racist, anti Semitic talk is garbage. Jews are the scapegoat. Isn't it funny how the global agenda also hates Israel. You disagree with them on everything but yet support the anti Jewish narrative.
I don’t care if they back the PPC, but when they broadly paint PPC supporters with a racist brush, they’re spouting the same identitarian nonsense they allegedly disagree with.
I hate racists, I like PPC policies.
If someone calls me a racist for that, not only are they wrong, they’re a through and through bigot.
That's not why they'll never win. They'll never win because minor/fringe/startup parties can't win in the Canadian electoral system. It's not just unlikely, it's impossible for one simple reason.
That reason being, if those ideas ever become popular enough to win an election, a major party will run on them. That's how it works. The major parties adapt to the electorate (rather than taking a position, never changing, and just hoping the electorate eventually comes to them like the Greens and the PPC do). That's why they have leadership elections and policy conventions - to stay relevant with the voters.
Seriously. Haven't you ever wondered why for the entire 150 years of this country's existence it's only ever been ruled by one of the two major parties, even though a myriad of minor parties have come and gone? That's why. Because the major parties adopt the popular positions of the day in order to stay in power. That's not going to change. The major parties aren't just going to stop trying to win elections by adapting to current trends. And the PPC are not going to be the first party in Canadian history to come from behind and upset the whole system by winning an election. To even think this is possible reveals a deep lack of understanding of how electoral politics work.
I've seen you make this point often over the last few months, and I find it compelling. I'm probably on the younger side of this board, so I'm ashamed to say my mindset was entirely different in 2015, it was my first federal election where I could vote and I voted liberal then(I also live/grew up in a very liberal riding). I voted liberal over another candidate because I believed it was a strategic vote, even though I preferred another candidate.
I've learned and changed a lot since then. I now oppose the corrupt lying liberals. I have adopted the principle that I will not support a lesser evil, I will vote with my conscious. I believed the liberals were less evil than the conservatives and I wouldn't vote third party, look how that turned out. From now on I will vote for my preferred local candidate, "strategic voting" be damned.
So I see your argument about the nature of electoral politics in Canada, but the liberals have shown me that establishment parties will only exploit this. Further, I don't think real change will come at the ballot box but at the individual level of every Canadian. This is a reason for me to support the PPC, so I can at least have conversations with people about my values and point to a party that represents them. Cynicism and complacency in politics only dissuades individuals' civic engagement. I'd rather have to something to aim for than something to be let down by.
Besides last time PPC got 3% of the vote. If they get 7%, that's EXACTLY what Ham is saying sends the message to Conservatives, even if the PPC had no seats. If they lose seats because they don't represent 20% of their potential voting base, they'll adapt or die.
I'm in my late 20s, so I'm not much ahead of you, and I only woke up to politics in 2015 anyhow.
If you want a good historical context of what the PPC is trying to do, look up the reform party 1987 and what they became.
You said what's on my mind. People saying the PPC only got 3% of votes last election are fools. It's a new party. No one expect them to win or even get 10%. But they did get nearly 400,000 votes Canada wide. It could be 800,000 next election and even if no seats are won I will be happy knowing there are 800,000 reasonable Canadians out there who think like me and who are tired of CPC.
I have adopted the principle that I will not support a lesser evil
Then you're supporting the greater of two evils by default.
When you start thinking about politics with your head instead of your heart, and you accept the truth (and it is the truth) that there's no way your minor party can win, you will realize that your only viable choices are the greater of two evils or the lesser of two evils. And that by abstaining, you're choosing the greater of two evils by default.
Have you heard of the trolley problem? It's an ethical dilemma thought experiment.
If you do nothing, the train will continue straight ahead and kill five people. But if you throw the switch, one person will be killed, and it will be through your action.
What do you do?
They're both bad outcomes, but one is worse than the other and you have to choose. By saying "I won't choose the lesser of two evils" and instead doing nothing, you will get the worst possible outcome. The same goes for Canadian elections. Doing nothing and letting the train kill five people is analogous to not voting for either major party, and thus allowing the LPC to win again (worst possible outcome).
Then you should have stayed with the CPC and voted in their leadership election.
For that matter, so should Bernier. His popularity in the party only increased after the 2017 leadership race (as people came to the realization that Scheer was a dud). If he'd stuck with the CPC, kept doing what he was doing, kept his name in the headlines for all the right reasons, he'd have been a shoo-in for the 2020 leadership race.
Instead, he committed political suicide out of anger and spite. And now you guys have no voice in parliament whatsoever, let alone any prospect of your guy ever becoming PM. I don't understand how you're not pissed off at Bernier for that. He took all your dreams and flushed them down the toilet by going off on his own.
There is no hope of reform for the CPC, with or without Bernier. The CPC leader isn't some sort of God-Emperor, whoever has that position is beholden to their globalist masters. The CPC sold out just like the Liberals did.
As such, it makes no difference which of the major parties are running Canada, they will all take marching orders from the global elites.
This is why we see so-called 'conservative' governments acting like leftists in Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba. They have all sold out for their own benefit and do not care about their constituents.
So feel free to push the CPC as the 'alternative' but in reality it will get us to the same place as voting for PM Socks and the Liberals or if you prefer a more communist branding, Singh and the NDP.
LOL of course there is. That's why real parties have leadership elections every couple of years. Just because you didn't like the outcomes of the last two leadership elections doesn't mean it's the end of the party.
You're acting like this is some sort of unprecedented territory. But it isn't. You're just the millionth naive fringe-party supporting individual to say "There's no hope for the [insert major party]. The [insert fringe party]'s day has finally come".
Except it hasn't come. It never does. These parties come and go, and their supporters make all these same noises every time, and then those parties peter out having never come anywhere close to winning an election. Rinse and repeat. Meanwhile, elections continue to be won by one of the two major parties, as has been the case in every single federal election in Canadian history. And if you think the PPC, with their low single-digit percentile support, are going to be the first party to finally break that 150 year old pattern, you're lying to yourself. That's like betting on winning the lottery. Wrose, in fact. Because at least it's actually possible to win the lottery.
I think you have this misguided idea that the leader can dictate the party's positions like a king. It's quite obvious that this isn't the case. it's like you ignored the entire first part of my post.
I sure would love to hear from you on why all of the Canadian 'conservative' governments in the provinces are in complete lockstep with their leftist counterparts. Even Harper acolyte 'Mr. Human Rights' Jason Kenney is basically a socialist dictator.
Ok here's the catch here, I have no antipathy towards you and I don't agree with the disrespect towards you I respect your libertarian/centrist stance towards PPC and etc.. but what the community is saying to YOU is basically that this country will fail to be same.. don't you think that the Liberals are ripped this nation apart and have made everything just difficult for example with refugees.. I DON'T have a problem with those seeking a better life Syrian war was awfully saddening so chill out im ON YOUR side however..
the liberals have weaponized those "dreamers" to further their cabalistic agenda many area's of the nation are going bankrupt because of the liberal governments policy and spending money on the newcomers who need a lot to get them on their feet like a work permit and car etc.. and then not to mention some people are subverting the system to get in the country you just need a certain amount of money and you can literally move into the country this country isint easy leme remind you and the moronic government is making it difficult to live here.
Another issue is the fact this country is just walked over upon we literally have Chinese millionaires buying houses and then reselling them at insane fking prices (ex Vancouver,GTA) and then there are many videos from south asians (Indians,Pakistanis) talking about how to get into the country and whatnot and they come here easy and have friends to make it easy for them when the move here.
So my conclusion here is that the rampant racism on here is because radicalization created by these circumstances within the country and naive white Canadians are being indoctrinated into being racists/neonazis etc... and unless this is resolved alt's will just continue being made everyone should be a Canadian and Hug it out I don't know what to say.. we're fighting over something ridiculous people are just mad because PPC fans and Hamsandwich are fighting a war for months on end and the alt's being made are insane.. so please everyone leave HamSandwich alone and stop this trolling take it to 4chan or somewhere else
We'd be fine if you we had more representation across the country. A one man army won't do much but get MPs from allover Canada and eventually the PPC will have legitimate party status. These things take time.
Whenever I've (rarely) posted on here / Reddit's old MetaCanada, I've toed the line and tried to be respectful. But is it forbidden to want or at least ponder for a 'mostly' or 'nearly' white country (as long as it's obtained peacefully and maybe compensated deportation) may help avert some of the bitter divisiveness that we're seeing inside and outside Canada? Or to ponder race-realist-ish IQ/crime stats without resorting to outright slurs or hatred?
Wait, you're admitting to this? Wow, now I see why the leaves are flying. Out of curiosity, why are you out to destroy Canada? Are you an immigrant? Do you hate White people more than you appreciate civilization?
I’m going to exercise that charter here for a second
Fuck off
Thanks
Whut ?

Paul Bernardo is right.
You missed the point. The current moderation policy is:
PPC Supporter == Racist == Banned.
The issue at hand was never racism; it was calling people racists as a pretext to ban vote splitters, and the "racists" aren't the bad guys here.
Just remove hammy as a mod. He can still use the board and voice his opinion.
Christ man, either this is an excellent demonstration of the horse shoe theory or there really are a bunch of Lib's in Con's (or PPC's) clothing in here.
I'm shocked (actually not at all) that you got dv'd to hell.

Suppose you're standing next to a train track switch and there's a train barreling down the tracks. There's five people on the tracks straight ahead of the train, but only one person on the tracks that branch off.
If you do nothing, the train will continue straight ahead and kill five people. But if you throw the switch, one person will be killed, and it will be through your action.

Then people will do something about all those victims who end up tied to railroad tracks.

Well that's the idea. This place is basically 4chan north. I'm specifically trying to change that.
We'd be fine if you we had more representation across the country. A one man army won't do much but get MPs from allover Canada and eventually the PPC will have legitimate party status. These things take time.
Hew came within a cunt hair of beating Scheer and Max's popularity only increased after that.
You're telling yourself he never could have won because you have to believe that in order to not hate him for fucking it all up.
He's saying it would not have mattered...
Logically if Bernier came that close to winning, there should still be elements in the CPC that want to head in that direction....
Okay. So why didn't Sloan or someone like him get closer to winning?...
Why did Erin win?
The CPC is moving Left, possibly even Far Left.
Forgot about those guys.
Also enough with the LGBT pandering too.
Not the brightest tool in the shed either.
You crying about it isn't going to make it any less true.
Keep crying. It's still true.
Of (not) backing the PPC? Is that what you meant?
All you missed is Ham finally decided to recreate this place into what he actually wanted in the first place and a bloodbath of wills has ensued.
I hate to say "told you so", but teaming up with The_Donald was the worst thing to happen to this sub.

Locking comments was silly.
What did you people think I was going to do when you decided to burn down the entire forum over me telling you "no racism"?
Calling that "criticism" is like calling the George Floyd riots "peaceful protests".
