@BraydenBoulan @FrancisMCa6587 @Bt2Dr4 @wyatt_claypool Sometimes it feels that the CPC under PP is no more than voters who dislike the Liberals, there is little ideological commonality.

What a mess!

The pathetic whisper campaign has begun.
The Red Tories and “cultural conservatives” are going to try and knife Pierre in favour of a politician who will pretend to be a hardcore conservative but is just another Doug Ford or “true blue” Erin O’Toole.
Wyatt Claypool@wyatt_claypool
The “Cultural Conservative” campaign to try and replace Pierre Poilievre is going to get underway this summer and fall. “Cultural Conservative” is the new labelling of the Red Tories because they aren’t fiscal conservatives, social conservatives, or freedom conservatives.

@wyatt_claypool The Mulroneys are about as far from being Red Tory as it’s possible for Tories to be.

And this article is talking about Mark Mulroney apparently being the “buzz”

@wyatt_claypool Is that why they met with Pierre Poilievre two days ago, to give him notice?

Today in Ottawa, the editors of Without Diminishment were pleased to be hosted at the House of Commons and to share their vision of conservative cultural renewal with MPs, staff, and the Leader of the Official Opposition.

I went home recently to write about Alberta’s separatists. What I found was a movement dangerously, wildly disconnected from what is real.

@cbrew86836 @TristinHopper Americans trying to school others on the evils of slavery is preposterous. It was relatively limited in Canada compared to the US. Upper Canada enacted legislation to abolish slavery in 1793, and it was abolished throughout the Empire in 1834. Remind us what happened in America?
English
@TristinHopper Why is that? .... oh i forget, Canadians are fucking dumb and don't know their own history.
"Slavery in Canada includes enslavement practised both by the First Nations until the latter half of the 19th century, and by colonists during the period of European colonization"
English
You probably shouldn't bring up the word "slave" in a discussion of the relative merits of the U.S. vs Canadian origin story.
Cbrew@cbrew86836
@schoowoo @TristinHopper it's your exact post. Canadians were slaves to a King. You were subjects of the British Crown and you just accepted that and waited to be freed and you are here bragging about the fact that your ancestors remained slaves until the British decided to let you become a nation.
English
@cbrew86836 @JerryBones8 @schoowoo @TristinHopper Canada was founded by French habitants and by American Loyalists who fled the tyrannies and excesses of the American Revolution. They chose what became known as Peace, Order & Good Government, and were self governing by 1841. Being British was a source of pride not subjugation.
English
@JerryBones8 @schoowoo @TristinHopper indeed wtf? Canadians don't know history?
The US declared independence in 1776 - you not only didn't establish independence you fought the US with Britain in 1812, then you remained subjects of the crown... you didn't even gain self-governance until 1867. You were subjects.
English
As a Canadian, I have an extremely jingoistic view of both Irish and American history. In that I think they were both silly for getting a bunch of people killed for independence when we did it for free.
English
@cbrew86836 @schoowoo @TristinHopper Lol, Canadians were never slaves, and indeed rejected the American Revolution multiple times. You are clearly uneducated in history, and just rely on nationalistic myths appropriate for the simple minds of small children.

English
@cbrew86836 @schoowoo @TristinHopper Canada was never enslaved by a foreign power, and nor was America. Even the most myopic American mythology doesn’t posit that American colonials were enslaved by Britain; they were freeborn British subjects fighting for British liberty (see John Adams & Thomas Jefferson).
English
@schoowoo @TristinHopper are you fucking for real?
Most people at minimum feign bravery and declare they would not live in bondage. You're literally telling me you'd be cool if you were enslaved by a foreign power... as long as you know.. maybe eventually they'll decide to set you free. lol
English
@cbrew86836 @TristinHopper Canada joined the fight for freedom in WWI & WWII right from the getgo and most enthusiastically, whereas you isolationist and reluctant Yanks took an awfully long time to join us and the rest of the free world. So who is it again that doesn’t think freedom is worth fighting for?
English
@TristinHopper oh no... a person who lives in a Country most famous for .... ... hockey? ... Maple Syrup? ... doesn't think Freedom is worth fighting for.
Whatever shall the world do?

I’d really like people to stop using the word “term” in reference to federal or provincial mandates. It’s an Americanism that doesn’t apply well to a Westminster system.
Sacha Forstner 🇺🇦@sachaforstner
Finally, a quick footnote on the GG’s “term” in office. The GG serves “at the pleasure of the King,” meaning she can be replaced at the King’s discretion (normally on the PM’s advice). It is customary, in recent times, for the GG to serve for at least five years.

@Sean_Speer @E_Duhaime Sir John A Macdonald did not envision strong and assertive provinces. He wanted a strong central government and thought that Confederation would lead to the Dominion being pre-eminent over the provinces. He would likely be dismayed by today’s relatively weak federal government.
English
Quebec Conservative leader @E_Duhaime deserves a great deal of credit for trying to build cross-provincial support against Ottawa’s steady intrusion into provincial jurisdiction.
Many provincial governments—including conservative ones—rightly criticized the Trudeau government’s unprecedented use of the federal spending power but then ultimately acquiesced in the face of federal dollars.
The Fathers of Confederation, especially figures like Sir Alexander Galt who envisioned strong and assertive provinces, would be astonished by how readily provincial governments have ceded authority to an increasingly unconstrained Ottawa.
Provincial conservatives should be defending their constitutional sphere of influence and insisting on a federalism of watertight compartments.
To Duhaime’s credit, he’s trying to build a national coalition around exactly that forgotten yet fundamental principle.
(Great job by @carlvallee by the way moderating such an important conversation.)
Canada Strong and Free Network@canstrongfree
A standout panel at CSFN Ottawa 2026 on a question that is no longer hypothetical: what does Confederation look like when both Alberta and Quebec are demanding a fairer deal? Eric Duhaime, Leader of the Conservative Party of Quebec, Rebecca Schulz, Alberta MLA and member of the Alberta Next panel, and Chief Billy Morin, MP for Edmonton Northwest, sat down with moderator Carl Vallée, Managing Director at Teneo, for a frank, substantive conversation about national identity, provincial autonomy, and what real federalism should deliver. East and West, different histories, but a shared frustration with a federal government that talks down to provinces and overrides their priorities. @E_Duhaime @rebeccakschulz @billymorinECN @carlvallee

@dubsndoo Absurd to call Macleans or Rosemary Barton far left. The Socialist Worker is far left. Avi Lewis is far left. MSM outlets and journalists are not.
As a Tory, I’ve noted a recent tendency by the populist right to label anything they don’t like as Communist or similar.
English
Canada’s most far left magazine heaping effusive praise on one of Canada’s most far left journalists. We’ve seen how giddy she gets lobbing softballs at Trudeau and Carney, and how pouty and petulant she is interviewing Pierre Poilievre.
Maclean’s Magazine@macleans
In an era when objective truth is a nice-to-have and the bar for politicians is in the depths of hell, it’s helpful to have someone like Rosemary Barton in the mix. For more than two decades, Barton, currently the CBC’s chief political correspondent, has chatted with, fact-checked and, when the occasion merits it, borderline interrogated the country’s most consequential public figures. Lately, thanks to some unusually exciting policy shifts under our refreshingly boring new prime minister, Canada’s newsmakers are commanding global headlines. But first, they’ll probably pop up on Rosemary Barton Live. And yet, as any journalist will attest, her job has never been harder. If politicians would prefer to sidestep tough inquiries, The Joe Rogan Experience and Call Her Daddy offer warmer, cushier landings. But as this country embarks on a 360-degree nation-building makeover, Canadians have more questions than ever. Barton is doing her best to get answers—no filler. macleans.ca/culture/rosema…

4 of the last 6 GGs were from Quebec, the other 2 were from Ontario. Not one person born in Alberta has been a Governor General of Canada. Not one. Ever.

@Anthony__Koch JJ ignores that the Conservatives have been monarchist as a first principle since prior to Confederation, that “a belief in our constitutional monarchy” is a founding principle in the CPC’s constitution, and that the CPC caucus is by far the most monarchist in Parliament.
English
You’re right.
The classical liberal iteration of the Party was much more successful.
As evidenced by the numerous election victories from 2015-2026.
J.J. McCullough@JJ_McCullough
A problem the Conservative Party has is that you’ve got this clique of weird people who aspire to be the party’s new ruling elite, but have absolutely bizarre, unpopular priorities, like sucking up to Quebec, embracing royalty, and hating our popular Charter of Rights.
