    Does the CPC have any intentions of making policy and doing something for Canadians? We have a housing crisis, crazy inflation, and climate change that should be areas of focus for any government, but they want to get off attacking trans people. He is not a leader, he is a snake oil salesman and 30% of the country is too brainwashed to act and think like human beings.

      He IS doing something about the terrifying future threatening Canadians: he’s doing fascism. His base doesn’t want nuanced policy that address root causes. They want a simple scapegoat that they can unburden their fear onto in the form of hatred. That is what PP is providing.

      I’m going to guess cut taxes and limit services for everyone, as if that’s ever fixed anything.

      I guess not. I just went to their site out of curiosity. I couldn’t find any policy statements. Just a vague mission statement type thing.

      Update: they have a policy document from 2021 under their ‘governing documents’ heading on the website. The document doesn’t address this issue at all.

        I remember when parties had their platforms in a book that they would make before every election. Now some parties don’t even bother having a platform and win elections. People are voting for representatives that not only don’t care about representing them, but in some cases straight up have comptent for their constituents.
