The Prime Minister’s announcement that the government would be going forward with their previously planned carbon tax increase came as somewhat of a surprise as Trudeau had remained tight-lipped about its status up until last Wednesday.
Only 15% of Liberal voters and a mere 8% of NDP voters agreed that the threat of COVID-19 was exaggerated. Provincially, B.C. and Alberta had the most skeptics.
After a few weeks of pressure on the Conservative Party of Canada from Conservative MPs, Independent news organizations, and CPC leadership candidates themselves, the Leadership Election Organization Committee (LEOC) has suspended the campaign at least until May 1st.
The Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), as well as Jim Karahalios’ campaign have launched petitions for the purpose of pushing Conservative Party’s Leadership Election Organization Committee (LEOC) to reinstate Karahalios after being disqualified on March 20th.
“I feel that anti Western sentiment was basically trafficked in Quebec by Trudeau for political gain. And, you know, of course, for me, I would be trying to build up every province across the country as opposed to, you know, setting one region against another. I think he did that just because he felt he probably wouldn’t do well in the West anyway, so he might as well build on this anti-Western sentiment for his own games in Quebec.”
While many Canadians support further gun control, no doubt with good intentions of minimizing harm and prioritizing safety, the measures they support, such as handgun bans or AR-15 bans, fail to help meet those goals and merely end up punishing law abiding Canadian gun owners.
An investigation into two separate incidents of Karahalios by the Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC) was conducted, one involving a letter to supporters and the other a perceived racist interaction over Facebook. The Toronto-based Urban Alliance on Race Relations filed a complaint with the CPC regarding the post, where Karahalios responded to his letter, sent two weeks prior.
While Trudeau continues to remain a progressive-minded leader, the present moratorium, along with the pandemic, may convince the Liberal government to adopt stricter immigration policies. The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the evident foibles unrestricted globalization presents. If Trudeau apostatizes from the neo-liberal order, characterized by the free flow of labour and populations, he may set Canada on a more sustainable path where domestic industries, like Albertan oil, can flourish.
For these reasons and many others, the grassroots of the Conservative party have already started a petition to suspend the leadership race. So far, Lisa Raitt and the rest of the LEOC have yet to acknowledge these very serious concerns from the Conservative base.
The often repeated term “irregular border crossers” appears entirely hollow as this current situation has demonstrated that the government is aware of when illegals cross the border, so much so that they can provide medical screenings for COVID19 as they come across.
