I've been wondering for a long time now why Conservatives have feared to discuss any social/cultural issues when it's been clear that they would lose few votes doing so, and in all likelihood gain many. At this point, I'm sure the majority of Canadians don't like what's happening with crime, immigration and out-of-control spending on feel good issues in foreign countries; are tired of queer ideology being forced on them and their kids; fed up with being told our history is one long racist atrocity; angered by what is often blatant political indoctrination in our schools and universities; and yes, frustrated that our economy sucks so badly. There's a wealth of issues to discuss other than whether we should join the US or China going forward.
I totally agree that there are votes to be gained by leaning into these issues! Solving our economic woes is certainly a part of the conversation but it's time to stop treating that as the be-all, end-all.
For an old boomer this was quite heartening to read. This country needs the fighting to begin. Bravo!
Thanks Glenn! Appreciate the words of support. This a great country, worth fighting for!

Looking forward to this new direction!
Thanks Sam! I sincerely appreciate your support!
Brilliant article Kate. I look forward to reading more.
I too am SICK of losing.
