CANADA under attack
Democracy being challenged from the inside
This Canada Day marks a time to observe and appreciate the value of our beautiful, diverse country. Yes, it is imperfect, but it ranks among the best places in the world for quality of life, public services, opportunities for individuals, and civil and political rights. We must unite and protect her for all of us.
Our Confederation is under attack from the inside. We are on standby, watching as provincial Conservative governments participate in desecrating the federation on which Canada was built. It is shameful. Some might call it an attempted slow-rolling coup. It brings grief to see fellow Canadians applaud this twisted ideology — the antithesis of what has made Canada the strong and resilient country she is.
It is no longer a badge of honour to proclaim oneself a Conservative. The Conservative Party of Canada has presented the country with an extreme, inept wackadoodle as the frontrunner in its party's leadership race. Sorely lacking in his understanding of the Canadian Parliamentary System, he actually claims to be running for Prime Minister on his Twitter page.
For those unaware, anybody wishing to throw their hat in the ring to become Prime Minister of Canada must first win the leadership race within their respective party. Poilievre has not done so yet…
