Here's a thread to act as sort of a hub for the Canadian political scene, otherwise known as "Please God please just let it stop, we keep thinking it can't get worse but then these doped-up foreigners sit in a big wooden room and invent ways to make it worse than we ever thought imaginable"

Elections are coming up. Quick rundown:

The Green party is only sticking around the talk bad about the Orange party.
The Orange Party is no longer giving their votes to the
Red Party.
The Red Party is once again more blue than the
Blue Party.
The Blue Party has had more members switch over to the
Purple Party.
The Purple Party keeps asking me for
money.

I'll keep tabs on habbenings and try to explain them cohesively. Feel free to contribute. Please don't laugh at us because our PM made sex with goats legal merely because Allah wills it.

A salient argument! And yes, Trudeau has run out of verbal capital; his account is being called in. He has sent alot of verbal checks, and now his guararantor is saying "Yeah, you're an idiot".
as should have happened long ago, but today
Governor Trudeau is being delt with precisely as a FidelCastro plant should expect.

This is just the retarded boomers and brainwashed people responding in a certain way to certain stimuli, as Yuri Bezmenov would say.

Almost no-one in the legacy media is talking about the demographic replacement. The closest we've got is Pierre Poilievre talking about setting up a system to make sure that the very many Indian "students" who are about to have their student visas expire this year go home.

The tariff thing is a shiny object used by the entire media apparatus to blame the economic problems on. Not explicitly, but it's enough for most people's emotions that "economy" "bad thing" and "tariff" are put together in the same soundbites.

The evil ones have control over the media, and therefore the minds and reactions of people who are trapped in their circle.

Carney is a partner in the Clinton crime syndicate which is basically a Russian spy ring funded by Alfa Group
https://web.archive.org/web/20150224082254/http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/people/international-advisory-board

Barton was running Russian operations and Hamas through McKinsey. ISD ran a network of Muslim influencers throughout Europe and used them to write reports saying everyone else is a Russian agent. Weidenfeld retired and was replaced by a Kashmiri Pakistani Muslim. Google Jigsaw picked up Anita Sarkeesian's network and gave them Five Eyes, it turns out they're Chinese backed PFLP tied to the old Soviet KGB network. These are the people that we trust with our national security.

Maxine Bernier, purple party man, seems to be a grifter. He's not really doing shit in Canada, and is going on a podcast tour in the US. He's not relevant, yet he's getting a lot of press in the us.

Shenanigans of several kinds are, or may be afoot. One thing that's sure is that Maxine Bernier is not actually a "real" political leader trying to improve the country. He does not represent an improvement to the situation. Him occupying this place as the "outside" party was supposed to be a good thing. It looks like he's just letting it collapse and is using it to raise funds from the hopeful at best.

>Carney has NO plan to balance the budget. Just more debt and more money wasted on interest payments.

A government is formed assuming that people staffing it are generally trying to help and preserve a country, but I think that a large patronage network of cultists who want to undermine and destroy/enslave western countries has taken over, and is using government debt to fund their minions / purchase silence from those who are cut in on the scheme.

They seem to literally be trying to spend as much taxpayer money as possible through whatever means possible to get us into as much debt as possible for no real benefit. It appears to be nothing more than a massive wealth redistribution plan while disincentivizing actual value-building jobs.

This is an AI slop video, but seems to establish the bare basics of the business group that seems to control a lot of my country.

They work in energy, infrastructure, and a bunch of other WEF-aligned sectors. Carney worked with them, and his plan to build more housing will be done by funneling taxpayer money (debt) to this group to build homes for people.

This is a longer interview with Scott Galloway. The comments are praising Carney and the liberals, in a way that sounds a lot like astroturfing to me. I have included a screenshot. Most of the comments I've read sound extremely fake.

Now, on other videos, where I've refreshed, the character of what the comments were trying to argue for or against did change. They changed while maintaining a similar structure. This means that a ton of comments on at least some videos are created in order to drive false viewer engagement and change what information and discussion likely written by AI a viewer is exposed to. This means that the default state to mainstream / subverted sites should be distrust, with a healthy amount of skepticism dedicated to the rest of the internet as well. That's why imageboard culture is so important in keeping the mind always questioning if you're reading nonsense trolling. It's practice for when people want to tell you lies to control your thoughts and actions.

I'll watch the full video later, but it makes me feel slimy to listen to it. Probably not the greatest thing to watch before sleep.

Viva here says that if the Libs win a majority, Quebec will leave as well as Alberta.
He does at least recognize that Canada is one of the most heavily propagandized populations on earth.

I think the proportion of voters who are Canadians vs the non-whites and non-Canadians who have moved in recently is an important factor to look at. After a certain point, the reasonable founding population's political will simply doesn't matter compared to the political will of the controlled assets of foreign mercenaries.

I could extract a video and thumbnail for this clip of a tv interview, but I don't really feel like it.

Well, not regular people. Many are probably in on the con in some ways, directly or otherwise. Then there are the "new Canadians" who just know who butters their toast and will vote for whomever claims they'll give the most free stuff to them.

But as far as actual productive people who want a coherent and strong country? No, I don't know why they would vote Liberal.
Election Day in Canada

Whelp, it's Election Day in Canada.

I sure hope the Conservative Party wins. Not because I think they'll be able to stem the tide, but because it might be able to buy some time to set up the structures to begin the process of recovery. Whether there's going to be enough time to avert horrors I cannot imagine remains to be seen.

There were a few days of Advance Polls the other week where many people turned up to vote. We're having higher than usual voter turnout, but I'm not sure it'll be enough.

The worry I have is that many of the societal poisons that people have been raised with are still firmly embedded in their minds as good things that must be protected. It takes years of self-inflicted learning and research to break the conditioning, and many of the channels and information sources that crunched the raw data for people have been purged from the internet over the last decade. This means that even the people who are deeply brainwashed, who are barely willing to start questioning things, have no mild levels of information to introduce themselves to the unrecognized lies they were raised to believe. They often literally cannot grasp the concept of "group" and are only able to see individuals.

I have no idea how someone living in a controlled information ecosystem who might be willing to sit down with someone who's been living in a different, wider, information ecosystem, is able to speedrun a decade or more of redpills. They'll reject 99% of the information from the bottom of their heart, or else they might even jump straight to the extremes without understanding nuance. There just isn't the time to understand the systematic overhaul that will be needed. So much of our overall social, economic, and cultural infrastructure over the last several decades has had the poisons integrated into it's very structure.

That all assumes that the (hopefully) conservative majority starts on the recovery work with all speed and makes no missteps. It assumes that the government workers work with the new government instead of sabotaging it's actions at every step like the US government infrastructure is doing.

The india/pakistan conflict is going to spill over onto our streets, because all these foreigners are bringing their old world conflicts here.

It's all quite a lot to deal with, as far as stress goes. I've voted, but don't know what else I can really do about it.

Another Viva vid.

-Pierre has low likelihood to win according to political gambling website
--Might be BS data.
---For trading volume, it would be cheap for china to manipulate it.
---China is already known to be interfering in our elections
-At 5 minutes, he talks about the various housing promises over the last decade.
--Shows a chart of ten years of regular housing related promises with tweet screenshots. Promises to improve the situation that has not been improved.
-The “housing” will be “modular housing”
--Carney (liberal guy who is current leader of Canada because of corruption and Bullshit) happens to own a modular housing company.
-The government is still fighting to bring in 500k immigrants a year. That's proportionally absurd for Canada's existing population and infrastructure. Including the housing infrastructure.

Whatever brainwashing control the Liberals have over people, it is _strong._ With the emotional element of the brainwashing control, people who are starting to feel stresses from the sabotage will cling ever tighter to the evils that have caused these stresses in the first place.

We don't need China to do that, because our own liberals do it voluntarily. Though in a sense China is a big reason for the Liberal's higher voter turnout, because any Chinese immigrant can go and vote for them.

People will unfortunately vote liberal because they are scared and emotional, they won't stop themselves and think, wait a minute, wasn't the liberal in power during all these years and fucking absolutely possible ? Selling gold reserves for peanuts, conflict of interest, corruption and scandals. Somehow, the Canadian zombie people will be amnesic once again, turning a blind eye to the long list of evil the liberal party has inflicted upon his citizen, no other party has ever declared marshal law and draft beside the liberal party. I hate them so much, they wear facade of virtue while being horrible manipulative snakes that uses their connection to create monopolies and suffocate the locals to enrich themselves and their cronies. Maybe the only way to even survive the oncoming famine will be to revolt. How the fuck can a party be so filled with conflict of interest and scandals of money laundering and not labeled traitor is beyond me, they should be hunted down to the last, any other leftist party would have been a better fit than them and yes, even literal communist would have been preferred, at least they wouldn't have been as corrupt. This stupid ass mass hysteria from trump comment fucked the conservatives so bad it's dumb and make me ashamed to be even human at this point.

No. Trump did not lose this election for the Conservatives. The Liberals won it with a few smart choices and the Conservatives lost it by failing to have an attractive policy platform.

Look more closely at the graph. Trump started his “Governor Trudeau” and “51st State” banter back in December of last year and there was no change. We see a drop in the Conservatives in February, which presumably correlates with the tariffs. The drop is statistically significant and noticeable, but it’s maybe a third of the total, if even that. The collapse in the Conservatives comes in March. What happened then? Mark Carney replaced Trudeau. That is when the Conservatives collapsed. It’s a pretty close mirror of what happened in the United States last year with Biden and Kamala. Biden was losing in the polls in March ups with Trump by up to 10 points. Then Biden was replaced with Kamala. And she would poll two points ahead of Trump, or even with him, all the way up until Election Day.

Carney played a better campaign than Kamala. Kamala never decided whether she wanted to carry on the Biden Administration or separate herself from it. Carney distanced himself from Trudeau and undercut Poilievre's entire campaign by setting the Carbon Tax to zero. For all of his complete lack of charisma, Carney was effective.

Pierre Poilievre ran his campaign on two planks. He was not Justin Trudeau and eliminating the Carbon Tax. Also a bunch of claims about making Canada better for business, but no one who isn't a Corporate executive of a Canadian company actually cares much about that, and most of those people were going to vote Liberal or NDP regardless. Carney immediately undercut all of that just by not being Trudeau, and also stole a large number of votes from Jagmeet Singh given that he was less tainted by his association. Then he set the Carbon Tax to 0. All Poilievre could do is stammer that the Carbon Tax technically still existed and they were just going to bring it back anyways. All of that was true but the fact remains that his entire policy platform was gone.

Poilievre's response to Trump's tariff's was awful. He waited until he read whatever Carney said in the newspaper, repeated it basically verbatim, and then added on a policy promise to eliminate internal barriers to trade. Even the way he'd phrase his statement about trade was almost identical to how Carney would do it. He'd start off with a false bravado saying something like "Canada is a proud country that will never be a 51st State!" that willfully misinterprets Trump's banter. Then he'd say "We'll respond with equivalent tariffs" which everyone, including both Carney and Poilievre, knew was a bad idea. One of the two promised to pool all of the money raised from tariffs into a fund for relief for the tariffs, but I honestly can't remember which one. That's how identical the two candidates were. Then they'd say "okay yeah we'll try to negotiate" which, no shit. Then they'd say that they would look for alternative trading partners (good luck finding an export market), and only after that does Poilievre differ from Carney by tacking on the promise to remove internal barriers.

Yes, eliminating the internal barriers to trade is a good idea. But it is a policy that doesn't effect most people very directly, and it doesn't speak to the soul. And while it plays well in Alberta, most of the rest of Canada doesn't care to eliminate these barriers. That's why they have them.

Poilievre was "stupidly no friend" of Trump and would make anti-American remarks in his speeches. Yes yes yes, the Canadian national identity is insecure and is based in no small part on the constant need to prove that Canadians are not Americans. But honestly, I do not believe that the vast majority of potential Conservative voters are that stupid, that insecure in their national identity, or that Trump deranged.

I have a newsflash for Pierre Poilievre and every single other Canadian politician who would beat their chest and say "we will never be a 51st state!": No one wants your country. If Canada were a state, it would be the poorest on average in the entire United States, worse than Alabama and either only barely beating Mississippi, or worse than Mississippi. We all know that it would be impossible to take in 30 million people without giving them voting rights, and we all know that letting Canadians vote in American elections would ensure a permanent Democrat majority. There is not a single Trump voter who wants that. Canada is a poorer, shittier version of California. Americans don't even want California in the Union, and certainly not another one.

Trump doesn't want 30 million Democrat voters. He doesn't want Quebecois terrorists, or Sikh terrorists, or BC's horrendous drug problem, or a failing economy, or Justin Bieber. Trump has actually made it clear what he wants through his various television appearances. He wants that stupid milk tariff abolished, he wants American banks to be allowed to do business in Canada, he wants more RCMP on the border, he wants the Canadian military to purchase more American made Lockheed Martin fighter jets, and he wants the BC government to stop being complicit in fentanyl trafficking. Trump already controls a failing nation with plenty of problems; he doesn't need a second. The 51st State remark is entirely because Trudeau took offense to it when he tweeted about it last year, and because people continue to be offended by it. It makes Canadians squirm and that is funny to Americans.

Canadians do not actually need to be told this, or at least, those Canadians who didn't just lose the election for their own riding. They already know all of this. A guest invited onto the Rasmusen podcast reported that polls she conducted in Canada found that Canadians were actually more likely to believe that the 51st State was a joke than did Americans. I do not believe that Canadians are as Trump deranged as advertised.

The moment that Poilievre guy got felted by the bantz it was over. It conveyed to everyone that he and his party are no different from the other side, so no one bothered to change their vote. Hell, many leaf conservatives probably voted lib because the guy was basically advertising for the liberals every time he seethed.
What a fucking dumbass lol.
Why Poilievre Sucked Part 2

Let's take a closer look at Poilievre.

Consider that "apple" interview that Poilievre did that went viral, where a reporter said "people think of you as a populist" and Poilievre kicked it back on the reporter, asking him who said that. The contempt that Poilievre has for that reporter, and reporters in general, was good, to be sure, but ask yourself why Poilievre did not just say that he was a Populist? The reason is simple: he isn't one. He is the opposite of a populist.

A good enough measure of where a politician's true ideological passion lies is to just let them talk and see what they talk about. Consider Donald Trump. Ask him a question about nearly any topic, and if he speaks for a long enough period of time, he will invariably (after mentioning the seven swing states, what a terrible president Biden was, and how 2020 was rigged) will talk about Trade. 10 years ago, the same was true. He even talks about Japan beating the US in trade in Art of the Deal, and that was written back in the 1980s. Trump has memorized the US trade balance with every nation and every single tiny barrier to trade. India tariffs motorcycles 100%, Canada tariffs milk 135%, American cars aren't sold in Germany, but Australia is okay because they buy Boeings. He brings it up even when an irrelevant question is asked. He's like the Captain Ahab of the US trade deficit.

Does Poilievre behave similarly? Well, yes. He does. In almost every conversation, in almost every interview and almost every statement, Poilievre returns to the same set of issues. Poilievre is concerned with the difficulty of doing business in Canada, or to put it another way, he is obsessed with the policies of Economic Liberalism. Every speech, he talks about Canada losing out to the United States in business and economic competitiveness, and the general drain of investment and talent from Canada over the past 10 years of Liberal government.

Now, please don't misunderstand me. Poilievre is right about all of this. Canada has problems with how its economy is regulated and managed and adopting more economically liberal policies is probably a good start towards fixing these problems. Probably. But this isn't the 1980s anymore. Thatcher and Reagan are both dead. While these policies may indirectly affect average Canadians, that effect is very much indirect. They do, however, seem to directly effect business owners and wealthy donors. And in modern times where there is a strong distrust of government, and a belief that government does not work for the people, but for the wealthy, that is not a good look to have. These kinds of policies are just simply not as attractive today as they were 40 years ago.

The biggest issue in all of the West, and especially Canada, is immigration. To be sure, Canada has other massive problems, such as insanely high housing prices, excessively long waiting times for health care, crime, deterioration of the cities, stagnating or declining wages, and unemployment, but all of these are caused overwhelmingly by immigration and the resulting massive increase to the total population in a short time frame. A majority of Canada's problems are caused by immigration or overpopulation. Reducing immigration is the most obvious step towards solving virtually any problem in Canada.

So what did Poilievre say or promise to do about immigration? Astonishingly little. Deporting a few criminals but no mass deportations; a marginal decrease in the number of new immigrants coming in every year, but nothing significant enough to prevent the situation from becoming worse.

He would say almost nothing on the subject. Take the interview he did with Jordan Peterson, which lasted one hour and forty minutes. I immediately jumped to the chapter names on the video to see where Poilievre talks about immigration. It was the last minute and thirty seconds. Peterson asked Poilievre what should be done about immigration, and all Poilievre had to say was "we should return to the old system." I'm sorry Poilievre, but that isn't enough. And even if it were, it's obvious from this interview and from other speeches and interviews that immigration isn't an issue he cares much about. Certainly not enough to expand precious political capital to try to do anything about. Why would he be passionate about reducing immigration? Immigration lowers wages, increasing returns on investment for business owners, which is what he really wants. Reducing immigration could raise wages, which could reduce profits for business, and God forbid Pierre reduce profits for Canadian businesses. It's clear that Poilievre would scarcely reduce immigration at all if he were Prime Minister.

Even on stupid social issues like genders the two candidates were identical. Poilievre said "I am aware of only two genders" when asked how many genders there are, and Carney's later answer was "there are two sexes."

So what were Poilievre's final policy positions? Well, he wasn't Trudeau, he promised to eliminate the carbon tax, he would start an economic war against the United States (which even he knew would end terribly), and he would very marginally reduce immigration. But Canada already has a Prime Minister who has already done all of those things. His name is Mark Carney. No need to vote for a Corporatist candidate.

Poilievre did have some degree of charisma, he did have a good point on Carney being another globalist banker who helped exsanguinate Canada in the corporate world, and he was decent on crime as an issue. But it wasn't enough to make up for a lack of distinct policies.

Who do Canadians vote for if they wanted a proud populist who would dramatically reduce immigration, or maybe just remove that stupid milk tariff so Donald Trump can shut the hell up and back off of the 51st State stuff? No one. No such candidate exists in Canada.

But then again I'm not even Canadian. So what do I know?

If I'm not mistaken, Canadian choose the guy who will ensure Canadians will cease to exist as People.
