Canada's Right Wanders in its Desert

Today the Liberal Party concludes its internal election. With the media coverage you might almost believe that a real election was held. The legacy media all around treated this internal leadership race as if it was an election cycle. In the end it was former banker Mark Carney who came out on top. In the days leading up to the internal leadership race the Liberals finished off a long march through the political institutions filling the Senate with Laurentian Elites, promising more money for various groups and banning more firearms from law abiding gun owners. The internal leadership race was covered extensively by Government friendly media while armed police refused entry to any media that might be deemed hostile. The wall of political silence continues for anyone not deemed friendly to the Regime. As more companies pull out of Canada, the Liberals have promised citizenship pathway for 6000 people residing illegally in Canada to build the new Liberal Wunderland, Canadians need not apply. It has been a historical victory for the left as they have rallied to oppose the “evils” of the American tariffs being hoisted upon us. China has also enacted additional tariffs but so far there have been no calls to rally against Chinese products in Canada.

Yes, it appears that much can be accomplished in a Country without a sitting House of Commons and the pesky opposition parties. One party, a minority party by the way, can effectively seize control of a Country and no sizeable resistance can be mustered from the opposition parties. In my own Province, my Premier Scott Moe tweeted his congratulations to Mark Carney, a man that will no doubt enact policies that will continue to damage Western Canada. Mark may become the first Prime Minister of Canada to be put into power with less than 1% of the Canadian vote from an internal leadership race to my knowledge. Of course, we are so Americanized that people don’t vote for Politicians anyways, they vote for parties and the Prime Minister that will be in place if that party were to seize power. So the left cheers while the Halls of Democracy sit empty, stalled while the “small cabal” of Liberal Party insiders choose their new leader. It’s a joyous day of jubilation. Mark himself implied in a press conference that we aren’t woke enough. Effectively sealing his darling status with the Left and their monetary hungry NGO’s who will continue to act of the enforcement branch of cultural norming for the Canadian populace.

For the Conservatives and those on the Right, we wander in a desert of uncertainty. Since Parliament has been prorogued I have had limited contact with my Federal MP, a Conservative. The silence has been deafening. Where is my MP? who knows, they haven’t updated their website in awhile. They have not responded to my e-mail. Pierre continues to campaign but the sheen has seemingly worn off. Almost all of the party platform promises he made publicly have been adapted in some fashion by the ruling party. He is still packing rallies but it is clear that a big pivot needs to happen. The engine seems to be out of fuel. The Conservative Party isn’t the only one seemingly out of steam. The Ford Government held its own election and was re-elected again but there didn’t seem to be much fanfare about it since the Ontario voters are still having Wynne burnout. The Provincial election was more splash than substance. The Alberta UCP are having major internal disputes which is pouring into the public sphere. The BC Conservatives are also having their own upsets as people are expelled under Rustad. Conservatism in Canada has failed to capture the expectations of the people who support them on all levels.

Woke has so deeply affected the Canadian conscious that the right fights amongst itself at all levels. The left tone polices and uses the power of the State to crack down on any truly egregious outliers. This is not a new phenomenon, around the Westernized world, parties that want to enact the will of the people continue to struggle internally with attempts to tone police members and externally they are badgered by the leftists in power, sometimes with threats to ban parties that stray too far from the consensus. America remains the only true opposition to the madness but the chaos created by their forceful wrenching of the political window back to center right has caused a panicked crackdown for the rest of the world. Canada is caught right in the middle of this and we are a very spoiled child who has not had to struggle in this manner so our leadership flails. In Canada we have built so much bureaucracy into everything that nothing can really get done without having to use emergency powers, we just are not built for rapid or quick response for anything.

What we will see in the coming times will be the greatest political test for the right in Canada. The next year will determine if the right has the means to come together, to stop fighting amongst each other, and voluntarily associate under a common framework or if we are meant to wander aimlessly until we are swallowed by the desert.

Thanks for reading. While I usually build my writing over a period of a few days I felt inclined to write this one on the fly tonight, to bring together some thoughts that have been floating in my mind all afternoon.
