Lisa Raitt released her tax plan today. Fairly standard Conservative fare.
Yesterday, Maxime Bernier released his foreign affairs policy:
- Work with allies to defend Canada’s security, especially against radical Islamic terrorism.
- Focus on the security and prosperity of Canadians, not pleasing the dysfunctional United Nations.
- End development aid.
- Promote free-market policies, liberalized trade, and private property rights around the world.
Polling numbers from La Press (Google translated).
Wow! Nuff said.
Maxime and the other leading candidates need to follow Trosts lead and denounce AGW for the fraud that it is.
No point in dancing around the subject – like we will recind the carbon tax.
The lefts justification for a carbon tax is to save the planet due to AGW.
Cancelling the planet saving carbon tax means you hate the planet and are in the pocket of big oil.
Calling out AGW for the fraud that it is – which is designed to put control and ration of the worlds life blood into the hands of the progressive elite, leaves no reason to have a carbon tax.
This is not a hard task.
All the candidates need do is ask the media – who carry the water for the Libs on this – if the claim of 97 % is true or false.
Next lie – is Michael Manns hockey stick graph accurate and based on accurate data.
Demand the media provide accurate answers to the above – and call them out as liars if they don’t.
Don’t worry that the media will be mean to you – they have decided you are the enemy, and will never allow you into power if you have actual conservative ideals and wish to represent rank and file voters.
It would also help to reach out to Mark Steyn, Tim Ball, Steve McIntyre, Ross McKitrick and Patrick Moore for their support (Canadian)
Anthony Watts, Judith Curry, Roger Pielke, John Christy and Donna Laframboise could round out the international support.
Again this is not hard
Max is the man!
Promote … private property rights around the world.
Yeah right…. totally ignoring the fact that there are no private property rights here in Canada. We should fix our own problems before telling the rest of the world what to do.
Bernier is on record saying Canadians don’t need property rights in the Constitution. About 3/4 of the way down the page:

We should fix our own problems before telling the rest of the world what to do.
I took that line as a promise to re-visit Charter Rights.
He has his flaws, that’s for certain. Also certain; no candidate is without them. When it comes to soooo many other issues that I place value on though, he is on the same page. I said here months ago that Bernier looks promising and every new policy or opinion of his that comes out seems to re-affirm that. He’s not perfect but he is at least a conservative who can reasonably defend his policies where others would come across as outlandish. I think he may have the broad appeal (English language skills aside) that could take him all the way and until I see different or better from another candidate; he’s my guy.

A delightful synopsis/critique sir Mikesr.
max bernier will crush trudeau.

I wonder how O’Leary’s entrance will move those numbers. I doubt he’ll pick up a lot of votes but you never know. He doesn’t seem to be a great communicator like Trump is. He’s just really brash and egotistical.
Before assuming anything about O’Leary remember what they call people on TV. They are called actors. They are playing a role. His role is the rude guy. I doubt that’s his true character.
So far, they all sound like leftists, or “incrementalists” as conservatives like to call leftists within their party.
Gun rights? Private property rights for Canadians? Stopping provinces from violating the BNA act or the Constitution? No mention of that.
We’re up the river, folks. May as well let the whole thing collapse so we can get down to tribal/ethnic war and start over.
oh look. Canadia has our very own Donald Trump mini-me also running for office.
the only think as predictable as politicians playing follow-the-winds-of-change is the huge numbers of voters following them.
Back in the day I had a one on one discussion with Joe Clark on property rights. He was PM at the time.
He would not even entertain the idea of entrenched property rights. Wouldn’t hear of it.
Had the opportunity to do the same at a meeting with chretien – same response.
It’s a concept few Canadians understand and our political elites oppose.
The key part is “around the world”.
Canada is utterly in thrall to globalists.
And people called the GOP/Dem BS a Uni-Party.
If they float some warmed-over Harper, I’ll just sit this one out, not renew my CPC membership and go black-market/cash business.

Arlene Dickinson says O’Leary is not acting,he is exactly like he appears to be on TV. She worked with him for years,so must know him fairly well. Listen to the interview.
I considered O’Leary a good candidate, but his remarks about our military and other comments he’s made, I no longer support him. I think Bernier is the best alternative out of the 57 declared candidates so far,or is it 58?
As for property rights, we first brought the subject up with Mulroney, he ignored our requests, so did Chretien,Harper,and now Trudeau. Canadian PM’s do NOT want us peasants to have property rights, might get us thinking above our lowly station in life.
btw,Bernier is not a gun control guy. Whoever we end up with, Canada will have to be in deep economic shit before the 39% plus the easily swayed do NOT vote for the bad actor in Ottawa now.
O’Leary is an LGBTQWERTY loving, abortion loving, immigration loving globalist.
Leitch seems to have some warmed-over national pride, despite the fact that her name sounds like “Leech”, and that she looks like a dyke.
Mr. O’Leary is a great actor in that role, then. He makes me really believe he is just being himself.

You are a Canadian who is a “subject of the Crown”. Your rights are derived from the BNA act with is an act of the British Parliament which can be changed by the British Parliament… The Queen has rights to Canada that can’t be changed by the “Canadian” Government, without full on revolution.. They don’t exercise direct Crown rule, but when push comes to shove they can dissolve the Canadian Parliament & Government.
You are a “Blind” Canadian (British) Piss-ant… Sir
Functionally, rural Canadians enjoy more freedom than any Americans.
Have any of the front runners denounced AGW and the TrudoTax?
quite true…. functionally.
Of course, on paper, the state can legally rape us 9 ways from Sunday.
Yup, but for the most part those are only enforced if someone does something really stupid or blatantly illegal.
It reminds me of a verse from Bob Dylan’s Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues—
Because the cops don’t need you
And man, they expect the same
Private property is a necessary precondition for all other rights. Without a place to speak, what good is free speech? Without a place to worship, what good is freedom of religion? Without a place to gather, what does freedom of association mean?
Dief had property rights in his charter; Trudeau got rid of that and brought in the Canadian charter of servitude and enslavement.
“Work with allies to defend Canada’s security, especially against radical Islamic terrorism.”
The Mohammedans are merely the contemporary brown-skinned proxy-war tool that the Russians are using to undermine the west abroad and at home. The Muzzies wouldn’t be a problem if our Pols weren’t dead-set about bringing them here and instead left these throwbacks in the caves where they came from.
Our Armed Forces need to be able to fight a World War against the sponsors of this Mohammadan terror, Russia; and Russia is no creampuff.
Reconfiguring our forces and restricting their use of force to fight these throwbacks weakens them.
Our Pols only need the WILL to fight the Muzzies, and treating Muzzies as though they are a race instead of just another totalitarian ideology is going to get us all killed, and it won’t be an easier death for us than it is for the infidels in the Middle East.
Only an idiot would believe that the Russians are controlling the muslimes. Some people still believe the hate propaganda they were taught as children. Others grow up to be functional thinking adults with the intelligence to see through the fog of meds and propaganda. Seek help old man.
Trudeau senior’s charter was by lawyers, of lawyers, for lawyers, the people did not and do not enter into the equation.
