Your a fool if you think supporting the CPC will change anything in a meaningful way.
As Voters, if we do not regain control of the system all of the Parties operate under, nothing really matters.
As it stands, the PPC could be bought and paid for just like all the other Parties and stab us in the back.
It would end the same (bought and paid for by some Corporate Group) but I like your thinking ??
MacKay was the anointed one.
If Mackay was the anointed one he would be the Leader of the CPC. O'Toole is in power due to a new behind the scenes Power Structure backing him. MacKay left the barn empty to long, things changed. I have first hand knowledge of O'Toole specifically requesting Candidates to run in openings only to be slaughtered to ensure another was put in place. He plays dirty and he rammed MacKay out. You forget where I live, in MacKay's backyard.
Why hasn't Berner held a leadership election after leading the party to a disastrous zero seats, and even losing his own seat last election? It can't get any more rigged than a party led autocratically by a dictator...
I agree 100% and I personally have no real desire to support Max and the PPC due to this exact reason. I have quoted your statements in prior posts, in agreement. I have also made reference that unless Max made drastic changes we would end up in the exact same situation we are in with the CPC (bought and paid for) with the PPC if a miracle happened and they received any substantial votes.
I mean how can you not see the absurd levels of hypocrisy in accusing the CPC's leadership election process of being rigged, while your own party's leader refuses to step down and hold a leadership election? What you're accusing the CPC of secretly doing, Bernier is doing right out in open - i.e. running a party dictatorship.
I'm going to assume you are referring to PPC supporters in general as I have stated countless times that I am not a PPC supporter. With that said, I do not disagree it is absurd to place faith blindly in someone who has done nothing to Officiate his Party in any proper fashion or expose how Scheer or O'Toole actually obtained Leadership.
That happens in literally every party. That's how it's done. The party management has editorial control over who gets to run under their masthead.
and my very specific point is The Parties, all of them, have decided they do not answer to the voters any longer. They all have it in their heads that WE answer to them. My answer to that belief, Like Fuck We Do. THEY work for us and as someone eloquently said "You're Fired" should apply to our "duly selected" Representatives.
Our candidates are being silenced by the "selected" leader.
Congratulations. You discovered what the role of a party leader is. The leader is in charge and gets to set agendas for the party. It's not a "party" if the members aren't acting as a team. And someone has to lead that team from the top down. Again, this happens in every party. That's how it's done.
NO it is not. They are the speaker for the Party. Hence WHY we call our Prime Minister a "Prime Minister". The position was not meant to be above other Ministers as we do not Elect a Prime Minister. Parties have taken it upon themselves to install defacto Dictatorships. The individual Candidates, in numbers, should be able to override an out of control Leader as they are our voice and they were elected to hold individual power.
More importantly, nobody's being "silenced". Those candidates can say whatever they want - as independents. If they want to be part of the CPC however, they have to subordinate their independent agendas to the team agenda. That's the whole point of being party - to work as a team towards a collective goal.
Yes they are being "silenced". That is exactly what being relegated to "independent" status means. "Subordinate" has absolutely no place in a democracy where our Representatives are Equal. Otherwise it means our country is Owned by the Party in Power and whomever is paying them off.
In the end, I only have 1 question for you. Do you believe in the Traditional Values of the CPC or do you blindly support the CPC no matter what they do? I am not being facetious.
I believe in the Values. If the party does not any longer then they need to take a good hard look in the mirror.
Currently casting our Vote is the equivalent of a "Participaction Award" in the Election Process.
I live in a province where the Provincial Liberals are far more Conservative than the the Provincial Conservatives are.
I'm used of upside down fucked up.
When it comes down to the line you have drawn for yourself and you can no longer sacrifice the Values you hold then you are left with one option, vote your conscience.
Vote... They are hell bent on discouraging you from doing so for a reason.
Don't let them silence you without even a say.
Your Vote is your voice.
Above all else, your beliefs should align with the local candidate you have chosen to support. Put your voice behind them.
The Parties no longer matter, they never should have mattered in the first place.
"trivial"
That's exactly what it all is.
We are all giving credit to a grand sham, that includes far more than Covid and forgetting we have a life to live.
Yah, it's pretty fucked up.
No visits allowed half the time but hey why don't you have major surgery.
Makes total sense.

I swear she is still alive because she is curious to see how stupid things are gonna get.
She gets regular updates from the family and just says wut and shakes her head.
(No it's not because she's old and deaf. She wanders off to gossip about it with the others at the home) ?
At the same time, if you are 90 and above, you are getting calls to have surgery immediately in order to extend your life a couple of months to a couple of years, IF you happen to survive the surgery at this age.
My 102 year old grandmother is actually being regularly harassed to have cancer surgery and to take the fucking vax after she clearly has said NO to both.
Fair.
He asked for authoritarianism, he received authoritarianism.

The "paranoid" are the ones the sjw's in Mental Health target.
It's sad, the sjw bitches tell them the Trumpers and Conservatives are after you and convince them to vote Liberal, Green or NDP.
