Why Conservatism Failed to Stop a World Gone Mad
Turning Points in History Require Revolutionary Thinking

Why the Conservative Party of Canada is no solution, and in fact in the past helped sow the seeds of the current disaster, and why Poilievre is definitely not the visionary leader we need.

A snippet:"
The only solution is for a rogue outsider who has been critical of the climate hoax from day one of his political career to muscle in on the party, as Trump did in the United States. Even then, Trump only succeeded because he was self-funded (which Canada’s election system doesn’t allow), and he already had prominent name-recognition so media slurs didn’t have the same effect as they would on an unknown outsider. The only hope in Canada to challenge these kinds of long-entrenched post-WWII beliefs through a new “rebellious” party — but that’s a hard nut to crack in a tightly managed system (from media to election committees to the donor class) that instinctively closes ranks to keep any destabilizing upstart anti-globalist party out.
Similarly, when President Trump confronted Canada about its drug, crime, and border problems and threatened to impose tariffs, Poilievre immediately jumped to join the popular chorus of “Team Canada” leaders agitating for a “dollar-for-dollar tariff war”. The Liberals are deliberately provoking this tariff war as cover for fresh spending, to shift the blame for Trudeau’s mismanagement of Canada’s deteriorating economy onto Trump, and to position Mark Carney as the alleged experienced banker who can lead Canada out of this manufactured “crisis”. Yet Poilievre parrots their “Orange Man Bad” rhetoric at every turn because the crowd is currently being whipp...

New report denounces Havana and claims ‘campaign of subversion’ has infiltrated highest levels of US government

"...There is overwhelming evidence that the machinery of the Cuban Government has been progressively organized around… a fundamental hatred of the United States,” the report stated. “Many of the most significant upheavals in recent American political history —from the George Floyd riots to the rise of Antifa to the explosion of pro-terrorist activism on American college campuses— can be linked, in some way, shape, or form to Cuban influence.”

The report doesn’t just hand-wave. It names names. It details how the Venceremos Brigade and other “revolutionary tourism” programs have funneled thousands of American activists to Havana for ideological (and sometimes literal) weapons training.

The Venceremos Brigade has brought 10,000 American activists to Cuba since 1969. This is because nothing says “I am fighting for the oppressed working class” quite ...

This guy says it all I fear….

Now there is a plan! Of course dumb Canadians will not have the courage to vote with their brains, instead of their propagandized feelings of fear.

Canada’s economy is stalling badly.

We just endured the worst decade for real GDP growth per person since the Great Depression.

Over the past ten years, real GDP per capita limped along at an average of just 0.6% annually.

And Bloomberg’s consensus forecast for 2026? A paltry 0.7%.

Why does GDP matter?

Because family disposable income follows GDP like a shadow. Anemic economic growth resulting from lower investment means stagnant wages. Period.

The Liberals and fake Conservatives won't fix this.

The People's Party has a comprehensive plan to unleash private investment, supercharge productivity, and put more money back into your pocket:

Make the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (ACCA) permanent – Let businesses write off capital investments rapidly and skyrocket cash flow.
End Corporate Welfare – Zero subsidies. Zero bailouts. Zero regional ...
