We must pinch our noses and choose the lesser of the evils.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0The problem with this conventional \u00a0view is two-fold. One is that when all is said and done, there is little to choose between the major parties. Upon closer examination, the Conservative Party looks like a Liberal Party that happens to believe in balanced budgets.\u00a0 But life is not just about numbers.\u00a0 It is, among other things, about the maintenance of our sovereignty, ethno-cultural heritage, family structure and most importantly, the freedom to speak our minds, including the right to criticize any religion.\u00a0 In an authentic democracy, there can be no right \u201cnot to be offended.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0Secondly, we must consider the broader moral question. \u00a0If we always choose the lesser of evils we will be guaranteeing the perpetual reign of evil. At some point, we must be prepared to say \u201cNone of the above\u201d. \u00a0But it seems that whenever we consider voting for our principles, we are told that \u201cthis is not the time&#8230; our most urgent mission is to rid the country of Trudeau, and once that mission is accomplished, then we can do the fine tuning.\u201d\u00a0 But history suggests that the time for fine tuning never comes, because there is always a new devil on the scene that we must unite against. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We must bite the bullet. We must risk the re-election of Boy Wonder in order to establish a beach head for a party of principle that can keep building its base so that it can be in a position to form a government four years from now. \u00a0We must be patient. Growing a fledgling party takes time, and in less than a year, Maxime Bernier has made enormous strides&#8212;as have the passionately patriotic people who have made his cause their cause. Bernier leads, but he also listens. Bernier launched the People&#8217;s Party of Canada, but the\u00a0 PPC is not a \u201ctop down\u201d party, but a \u201cbottom up\u201d organization where members feel like participants rather simple foot soldiers.\u00a0 It&#8217;s populism in action.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Meanwhile, we will continue to work tirelessly in our endeavour to do the homework and keep Canadians informed.\u00a0 In return, our only request is that once apprised of the facts, each of us must find the courage to share them with all the people in our respective social networks.
