Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives

Occasionally, for brief periods, I feel wrong for criticizing and even mocking our Canadian PM Justin Trudeau.  His fiscal irresponsibility, his cronyism, his financial favouritism of the Global Warming Cult, his divide and conquer intersectional politics, his support for political correctness, his attempt to turn a wide group of often absurd minority positions into a weapon against the majority, his anti Canadian values, his support of criminal killers while demonizing law abiding gun owners, anti western, pro Quebec and pro European Union, communism and such all are all deeply offensive to me.  The postmodern deceit and multiculturalism lies are all Trojan Horses for the true greed that hides poorly under the pretty hair, dope smoke and trust fund confidence.

I am no better than the Americans to the south who sound even worse as their ‘reason’ for ‘Hate Trump’ is merely “we hate Trump’. While I argue that I have sound reasons for fearing the progression of communist socialism under Trudeau the principle American argument is that Trump’s hair and behaviour are unappealing.  Ad hominem, or the losing argument, against the man, character asssssination rather than positional discussion is central. There’s an emotional level which is distasteful. I am no better for I feel similarly for the insincerity of the two faced Ottawa camp.

Yet spiritually and intellectually I believe that it is wrong to be simply a critic who is problem focused rather than builder who is solution focussed. I’m a Conservative, not a very good one, a supposed Pink Tory where I once was called a Blue Liberal. I’m a centrist, or so the various discussions portray me as such while my country by global comparison is centre or left of centre.  I’m a liberal in the US and a Conservative in Canada, and very much a radical in the Middle East.

Andrew Scheer is the leader of the Conservative Party and it’s easy for me, too much a critic myself, to focus on his faults, in my mind, youth and too much a political animal from youth. I preferred Mr. Harper for his economic back ground and Mr. Martin for his businessman success.  I would have liked George Washington as President because he’d been a successful General. I’ve not been fond of hereditary leaders and was concerned about the dynasty of the Bush family and then the crazy idea that the wife of a president or husband for that matter should rule.  There’s something to be said for the family business but it’s not appealed to me.

I like that Andrew Scheer, like Trump, is surrounded by powerful and brilliant women. The women in the Conservative Party are truly amazing.  So much of politics is networks and it reflects so well on Mr. Scheer that he has been able to surround himself with people of character and strength. Personally I love his family.  There’s a truly wholesome traditional quality to his home that speaks well of Canadian values and hard work rather than nannies and parties.  I like the humility that comes with religion and spirituality.  Men of God simply think that they are not God and in politics I believe this is an asset. I like that Mr. Scheer is pro capitalism supporting innovation and meritocracy while appreciating the need for socialistic government where this exists. In today’s economies there is a mixture always of government and private sector but the more socialistic the more centralist and controlled whereas with the capitalism there is decentralization and less control. I believe the latter is what drives economy and profits all. Governments are historically the vampire that sucks the blood out of all endeavours, so prone to cronyism and corruption.  Limiting government , government the cancer in communism and fascism, is what allows for a healthy society. I believe very strongly that Andrew Scheer is not self aggrandizing and not seeking personal wealth and privilege. 

 I believe he has ideals for the growth of Canada and hopes for the benefit of all. I believe he sees Canada not just as a suburb of Quebec but as a great nation of provinces and territories spanning the continent from sea to sea.  He wants the Maritimers and the Northerners, the east and the west to prosper. He believes that the best success for minorities is the prosperity of all rather than the favoritism of the left which rules by tokenism and turning one group against the other. I believe that Andrew Scheer wants all to succeed. I believe he supports the GLBT community but not as clownish adherent but as a central idea of his own conservative belief in the need for all to succeed if one is to succeed.  I believe the GLBT community, sometimes called the Alphabet Soup Group, is rightfully anxious.  I saw during the AIDS crisis how so many who claimed to be ‘loving’ were ‘uncaring’ and even saw the disease spread as a reflection of their own smug beliefs.  I believe that Andrew Scheer is caring for all who have experienced persecution, not the “I’m offended’ kind of persecution, but the real thing, the tortures and victimization by criminals.  

I believe Andrew Scheer favours immigration as Conservatives always have but that immigration must be ‘legal’ and orderly and ‘vetted’ so that we are not a country, like now, known as a place where criminals can come and live freely after doing carnage in other countries and beginning new criminal organizations here. I do not believe Andrew Sheer would cozy up to terrorists like Atwall. I believe that Andrew Scheer supports the concept of ‘queue’.  The illegal financial migrants are bullying their way to the front of the lines and pushing aside those who have waited and respected the laws of Canada. 

 I believe Andrew Scheer supports law and order and knows as well that the Military and Police are necessary because not everyone wants to smoke dope and sing Kumbaya.  I believe that Andrew Scheer will ensure protection of person and property for those who are CAnadian. This is what so many people want to come to Canada for because the countries they are fleeing, the communists especially, have taken all property for the state.  Private property is a cornerstone of conservative, like work and reward are.  Work is a cornerstone of conservatism.

I believe that Andrew Scheer supports the sciences and favours truth.  I believe that Andrew Scheer favours justice and supports the just claims of the native population.  I believe that rural Canadians and Western Canadians will benefit as much from a Conservative government as urban and eastern Canadians will.  I believe that Andrew Scheer is more affected by ‘reality’ than the ‘idealist ideas’ of the left which sound good, appeal to the adolescent,  but have the worst history of failure.  I believe that Andrew Scheer is very much in favour of the environment but won’t get distracted by the dubiousness of carbon taxing and extreme fear mongering of all those who would gain central control by crying over and over that the sky is falling.  I believe that Andrew Scheer is reasonable and has a track record for being down to earth while having high ideals.  He is human and not a cut out card figure image.  He is real and not a mere puppet symbol with an audio command device in his ear. He is transparent.

I especially like that JJ McCullough, a truly brilliant journalist, is a Conservative.  I like that Rempel is a conservative and that when I look around I find that the people I most admire are working, family oriented, home owning, educated people who in the US would have been called the ‘deplorables’ by the legal beurocratic theocracy elite of the swamp. 

My western and eastern friendship network is conservative, truly concerned for the poor and the sick and the old. I am most impressed by the conservative approaches to the Fentanyl epidemic and don’t like the short term band aids and the profits being made for a few to the detriment of the many. 

I believe the Conservatives lead by Andrew Sheer will have more original and long lasting ideas for addressing this epidemic and future crisis the country will face. I believe that the Conservatives despite their name are the party of innovation and the future not mired in Marxist ideology of centuries past but part of the new Enlightenment. I see Andrew Scheer as a product of the internet and cyber games and space age technology. He is intellectually ahead of the game in this regard enlightened by the science and futurism of his children and his involvement in their education and the hopes and dreams he has for their future.

 I can see Andrew Scheer bringing the kind of success to Canada that we will not be mired in second hand Australian planes but will actually advance the space age technology that has us as part of the world Mars expedition and making advances like the Candu Reactors and Communication advances ,space station arm,and the development of Canadian cancer research.

 All this is what thrives in a conservative economy where excellence is rewarded over mediocrity.  I am very hopeful for a future with Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives and need to say this rather than point out the obvious and glaring defects in the alternative.  Andrew Scheer is for freedom of speech and freedom of education and freedom of opportunity.  He’s for transparency and truth.  This all gives me hope.

My Christian aunt was admired for being known as one who praised but was silent regarding those she thought were sick or sad or mislead. She would have had much positive to say about Andrew Scheer and would never speak of Justin Trudeau as she was notably silent about his father and mother.
