Canada & Conservatism

Conservative Party Platform - Capital Gains Tax "Pierre Poilievre is touting a capital gains tax break in wake of reports of internal party tension.

The Conservative leader stressed the ballot box question in this campaign is still about his slogans — but it’s also about U.S. President Donald Trump. This slight shift comes after recent calls for Poilievre’s team to respond more forcefully to Trump’s tariff war. On Sunday, Poilievre announced he would ensure any person or business selling an asset would pay no capital gains tax — with one condition. Take a look."

Could Poilievre Blow It?

"The federal race tightens

For the past 18 months, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party has been the odds-on favourite to defeat the Liberals in the next federal election. At first, the gap between them was modest: In August, 2023, Nanos Research had the Conservatives up by four percentage points. Then, it was decisive, widening to 15 points by the summer of 2024. And then the advantage was colossal: At the start of 2025, ballot support favoured the Conservatives with a whopping 47 per cent to the Liberals’ 20.

But you know what happened next. Justin Trudeau said he would step down as prime minister. Bold-faced names emerged to take his place. And newly inaugurated U.S. President Donald Trump went on an absolute tear, threatening to impose hefty tariffs on Canadian imports or maybe just make Canada the 51st state.

Those three events have led a growing number of Canadians to drift back to the Liberals. To be clear: The federal election, which could be called as early as March 10, is still very much Poilievre’s race to lose. But while the polls vary on the extent of this shift in public sentiment – Abacus has the Conservatives ahead by 19 points; Nanos and Leger have slashed the lead to eight or nine points – there’s no disputing the direction of the trend."

"Poilievre promises to build new Arctic military base amid growing concerns over Canadian sovereignty.

The Conservative leader said he would also double the size of the Canadian Rangers and acquire more polar icebreakers.

You make Modi sound a bit Mohammedan by calling him Mohdi!

I was trusting Bob's spelling without checking. Modi seems to be the accepted spelling.

[Dilip Panjwani]

It would help if Mohdi's government would cease and desist in assassinating and attempting to assassinate critics in Canada and the U.S. There would be far less criticism in Canada. Mohdi is very much loved and revered in India.

All that the politicians do, whether liberal or conservative, is impose themselves upon the citizens, and they do it by using the citizens' money! All they really need to do is ensure that justice is served according to the Natural Law, and leave all progress (personal, local and national) in the hands of the citizens in a 'circles within circles' system... It would be the most fair and efficient way to make society succeed as much as they possibly can.

I'm going to assume "change of tact" is a typo.

Woke gets you the LA Fire Department where they seem to care more about diversity than doing their job. This ideology has real world consequences that are going to be disastrous.

Watch the LAFD diversity chief talk about how if you are a big person stuck in a fire and people with her out-of-shape body are coming to rescue you then ... it's your problem.

It is your problem and you should vote accordingly to stamp out woke. People who vote for radical democrats and think that this time, the results will be different need to give their heads a great shake. Amazing that the U.S. went from a border out of control to one where crossings have dropped more than 97%. The cartels might have to get real jobs to earn a living as will the Democrats profiting from the situation.

Look at the reactions to Doge where the outrage is with Elon Musk and not what he has uncovered in a short time.

Future Canadian Relations with India?

"[Conservatives] latest immigrant alliance is with a new crop of hard right Hindu organizations, who are springing up across Canada, often parroting Conservative talking points about crime and anti-LGBTQ politics.

Conservatives are hoping for an electoral boost, and these groups, in turn, are hoping to win the party’s support as they champion Hindu nationalism in the diaspora. They’re brandishing a slanted definition of “Hinduphobia” that aims to silence criticism of India’s far right Prime Minister Modi."

Crime is a big problem when you have the Toronto police telling you that you should leave your keys in a convenient place near the entrance of your apartment so that car thieves can easily steal your car. The media is full of stories of people who have had their cars stolen with air tags in them and being traced to a specific location where the police decline to do anything about it because it happens to be inconvenient for a shipping company. Add to this the stories of members of provincial government's licensing bureaus selling access to information of new car registrations to the gangs and the impression is that the government, its employees, police and governments are corrupt and working with criminal organizations.

Harper to Polievre - A Move Further Right



"From the outside, current Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre looks like a product of modern hard-right conservatism. He frequently references culture war topics like protecting free speech, attacks transgender inclusion, promises to weaken the news media and uses hyperbolic labels like “authoritarian socialist” to describe his opponents.

He’s been deferential to incoming U.S. president Donald Trump and tech CEO Elon Musk, even as the two threaten Canadian sovereignty.

But Poilievre’s mentor is Stephen Harper, who led the Conservative party to successive election victories in the 2000s, relying mostly on his record as a responsible steward of Canada’s economy. Poilievre was an MP under Harper for 11 years.

In 2015, the Conservatives’ reluctance to allow more Syrian refugees into the country and their proposed “barbaric cultural practices” hotline led to support shifting to the more immigration-friendly Liberals.

Things are different today. Canadian politics have become sharply polarized, mirroring trends across many western democracies, where politics have moved sharply to the right and have often become more nationalist and less open to immigration.

In a recent interview with a conservative American YouTuber, Gabe Groisman, Harper firmly defended Canada’s sovereignty in the face of threats made by Trump.

But he also followed right-wing rhetorical trends in describing the Liberals as “far left” and the news media as a hostile force.

Let’s take a closer look at Harper’s ties to Poilievre...."

It really is your problem in that case. I am sure it informed many people's votes in the last U.S. election.

On the Attack!

Don't be "WOKE"!

"The parliamentary record credits Poilievre with uttering “woke” 33 times in 2023 alone — more than every other Conservative combined that year, Raisa Patel writes. It’s the Conservative leader’s go-to buzzword, aimed at instantly de-legitimizing the work of progressive parties, people and policies. Don’t expect a change of tact anytime soon; research shows the “woke” offensive is producing massive results."

Please define "wealthy".

In all countries, the dividing line is drawn at a level which makes 'the wealthy' a minority... so that the majority can vote to tax the 'wealthy' in order to benefit the 'not so wealthy'...
