Pierre Poilievre’s loss in Canada’s 2025 federal election wasn’t merely a matter of strategic mistakes or media bias. It marked another chapter in a half-century pattern of cultural retreat.
Excellent post! I particularly like his point about citizenship at the end. We are seeing the results of citizenship being seen as a right rather than a responsibility and as a result, we are seeing things like the anti-Semitic, pro-Palestinian protests. Here in Brampton where I live, it's becoming more Indian all the time and Khalistani protests are allowed. This is not Palestine and it's not India. These immigrants should be focused on learning what it is like to be Canadian not fighting about their homeland issues. The problem is that governments of all levels are encouraging this. It is time for someone and it should be the Conservatives to say "Enough!".
For you information he did say enough. He said he would end woke, get rid of ilegals, get rid of the idea of hiring because of being a minority and hire on qualifications. Another words making people more equal and initiate better education and job training.
Those things are all good. They need to change the citizenship hearings. When the new immigrant becomes a citizen of Canada all they hear about is the problem with colonialism and not about taking on the values and learning what will make them a proud Canadian citizen. This is from an Indian man who is married to a Canadian woman and they split their time between India and Canada. He went to one of these hearings with his friend and heard first hand what they are told by the judge.
I agree with your assessment of the situation. Carney lied to us. The Lieberal media lied to us. And really silly people believed it. Canada is doomed. I don't see Canada existing as the country it now is in 20 years. Liberal progressiveness will have killed it.
Excellent! The rot is obvious everywhere in Canadian life, and I don't have much hope when the majority of Canadians have bought the lies. The magic word is "progressive" and I marvel at how it has been used to push us beyond socialism into communism.
Seems to me this foreigner is far of track and poorly informed. He'd best go back and listen to Poilievre's speeches. He wasn't a very good listener, it appears. I guess he prefers to be a socialist, or maybe a communist. Well he arrived at the right time, it's already well on it's way to a communist country.
I attended Pierre's rally in Oshawa. I agree with you that the writer didn't pay as much attention as he should have, but I too noticed that there could have been more truth presented. It's just that many Canadians can't handle the truth and it doesn't help when all of Canadian MSM lies to us and condemns those who speak the truth as hateful bigots. The media does no one a favour. When Muslims block intersections to pray, the MSM doesn't say a word. When a Christian prays on a street corner the MSM condemns them. There will come a day when the progressives find out that their progressivism has cost them their lives as those from the religion of peace will not tolerate the LGBTQ2+iAXYZ liberalism and total immorality the progressives demanded be allowed to flourish.
Very important article. The failures of the Canadian conservative party is not unique but a feature of conservative parties across the West. They have all joined the progressive Uniparty instead of fighting to roll back the woke empire. My view is that conservatism is dead as an effective political force. What is there left to conserve? The future will favour the much hated "populist" parties that are rising in Europe as they are the only viable alternative for the growing number of those who want to roll back the destruction of their culture and their nations.
Well today and we should all know this is that China plays a major role in our elections and more facts coming out on this election makes this election smell to high heaven . The Conservatives really didn't lose . The polls were all government sponsored . Just track the money . No one flips a 20 point lead like that and so quickly . Throw in Liberal voters who are poorly educated and uninformed and you get Carney .
Well written! The broader point that conservatives don't understand that politics is downstream from culture is spot on. Pierre Poilievre actually did touch on some cultural issues during the campaign, not enough IMHO, but he can be forgiven for emphasizing economic issues in a country that mires in economic stagnation. Stronger conservative media voices are needed in Canada to affect change at any level.

Well stated!
No question that the moral rot of Canada is being fueled by its institutions.
But PC support by younger voters signals they are motivated by their welfare rather than virtue-signaling.
The election was lost to shallow 'elbows up' voters who could afford to virtue-signal.
The PCs could have achieved a massive majority simply by exposing the 51st state issue for the fraud that it is.
Absorbing the progressive voting block in Canada into US elections would ensure Democrat dominance for decades.
Republicans know that.
They also know that the weakened and fractured Canada that resulted from the election will make it easier to pick off the best parts of our country.

That was excellent Paul. You put it very much better than I could. Thanks.

I do believe the Liberal voters are about to find out that spread sheets do matter in the end.
