In order to make up for the massive loss the Edson Food Bank Society suffered Mayor Zahara is encouraging members of the public to make monetary donations to the charitable organization. The food bank has also released a list of physical goods it is current experiencing a shortage of.
I’m no expert, but I am pretty sure owning more toilet paper doesn’t lower your chances of getting COVID19, especially if, in a blind toilet paper fuelled panic, you gather with hoards of other people and rub up against one another to buy massive amounts of products you likely already have enough of.
This makes a lot of sense from a few different perspectives. First of all is safety. During a global pandemic, having politicians gather multiple large crowds a day to solicit for donations and support is a clear health hazard to everyone involved. This is why the two leading candidates, Peter MacKay and Erin O’Toole have suspended their campaigns.
In the last 48 hours, the WHO has declared Coronavirus a global “Pandemic”, major sports leagues have been suspended, the Prime Minister’s wife has tested positive for Covid-19 and the entire Canadian parliament has been shutdown until at least mid-April. However, one ongoing public event is still taking place, the Conservative party leadership race. It […]
The problem however, is that the story was single sourced – it was all according to Fierté Sunbury Pride. The supposed “white supremacists” were simply three right-wingers, one of which is Indigenous, and the claims of doxxing and bigotry were mere accusations that the CBC and Sudbury.com printed without any fact-checking.
In 2017 the rules only required candidates to raise $100,000 and get 300 CPC member’s signatures and they had half a year to do it. By lowering the timeframe to raise money to 10 weeks, tripling the donation goal, and multiplying the signatures goal by 10, there is no way of interpreting the CPC’s new rules as anything but a way of keeping out the grassroots candidates.
The number in favour of reducing current immigration levels has increased from 2018. Two years ago, iPolitics’ Anna Desmarais discussed an Angus Reid poll that asked 1,500 Canadian adults to complete an online survey asking their opinions on immigration. The study found 49% of respondents, marginally less than half, wanted to reduce immigration. Migrant families were especially unpopular amongst those surveyed as they have a lower probability of contributing to Canada’s economy.
The Canadian Conservative Party has failed to gain the working class, rural Quebec and Atlantic Canada voters. Constituents that value old traditional views of Canada and have been neglected by Laurentian elites in Central Canada.
I can already predict some environmentalists are going to stop reading this article after the first paragraph and immediately judge me because they have already figured I do not fit into their belief system. For those who are continuing to read that’s great because it is quite dangerous that someone can be that stuck in a belief system that they would be afraid to read someone else’s point of view because they aren’t fitting into the mold of what the environmentalist movement has become. Afraid to read different views is a sign of an insecure belief system. So good on you for continuing reading even if you disagree with me.
The email also went after Walied for being, as the National Post put it, “a key figure in Patrick Brown’s successful 2015 Ontario PC leadership bid”, which is controversial based on Erin O’Toole running as a “True Blue” Conservative despite having a campaign chair who has worked with well known liberal tories.
