bloc du quebecois is a party that always gains influence whenever quebec hates the fed
so basically, it's a good party
yeah i know french canada shouldn't exist and all that (frankly, they should separate), or "they shouldn't separate becaues fuck them we're keeping them here and they're gonna like it" [edited]
but BQ is an effective party
so western canada needs its own party
a specific focus on western issues sounds like it could explode very readily
gain a few seats in the next election at least
PPC has failed thus far - PPC could gain influence nation wide, but that is a very long game

didn't conservatives used to be separated into western and eastern conservatives?

that division is what caused a lot of liberal victories, so the conservatives had to form coalitions

however, that's why we have the PPC to focus on the long game

or the western block can try to convince others of it's importance, reflect it as a wider canadian right wing issue, and gain influence across the nation that way

if anything it might convince the CPC to reform themselves

landslide liberal victories are something i enjoy, if only because it's a lesson

thing is, canada has been very left wing for a long time

so it doens't matter if we divide the conservatives, so long as we can shift the canadian overton window back

or to the right rather

introducing a right wing version of canadian nationalism

that isn't simply 'love america'

Nobody expected PPC to get elected, I am a huge supporter/donator. What is surprising is the absolute disregard supporters had when voting, in favour of Conservative instead, opting to not split the vote.

That ultimately costed Bernier his seat, and that's depressing.

bernier needs competition

from other right wing parties

like a western canadian bloc for example

bernier can't win if he just focuses on canada at large

he has to focus on specific regions first

canadians at large aren't sold on generic conservative issues that logically appeal to every region

My country is fucked

then let's unfuck it

i will be contacting a PPC member to discuss a few things, maybe invite them to my teamspeak server to chat

Man, There is a sea of blue between my orange province and the rest of our country.

BC is weird.. at the provincial level we have NDP and BC Liberals (which are our conservative party...)

i'm not surprised it's awash in orange at the federal level.

The only thing that surprised me was the surge of Bloc seats... did not see that coming.

CBC says the NDP has the balance of power.. but the numbers say the bloc do.

CBC is probably correct, as nobody is going to work with the bloc. At least not openly.

This means Canadians can expect lots of deficit social spending in the next budget. Also both the liberals and NDP appear to support letting cities ban handguns and other firearms.

Add to that the fact that another recession is looming on the horizon...

We're in for one hell of a party boys >_<

I live in Nfld so we're used to that shit

Did u have questions @AU518987077 founding PPC member here

I do, as well as information depending on answers to these questions

I just woke up and am doing my morning stuff and can talk in 20ish minutes if you have the time

ohkay, i am awake and have food and drink to start my day

Ahh yes I'm here, just got off of work.

Does the PPC support any potential plans to build nuclear plants?

no worries, would you like to take this to direct messages as i will be discussing things i have been holding in experimentation for the last decade

There are no current plans for nuclear plants but we arent opposed to nuclear power. Right now oil & gas is our focus.
