Opinion: A Canadian Point of View

This is a Canadian guest writer called Andy. What you’re about to read is his sole opinion, however…

Just to clear the air: I’m a conservative, but that doesn’t mean what a lot of you apparently think it does. Let’s break it down, because I’m tired of being told what I believe and what I stand for. Spoiler: not every conservative is the same, but most of us I know share these same principles.

  1. I believe Canada should never depend on another country for energy, protection, or basic supply and demand. We are strongest when we build, produce, and protect things right here in Canada!
  2. I believe Canada must put itself first. We cannot pour from an empty cup. Our country should prioritize our own people before trying to save the world.
  3. I believe Canada should stay out of endless foreign conflicts. We are not the world’s sugar daddy, and we shouldn’t act like it.
  4. I believe no foreign aid should be given until every veteran and retired senior who has paid their working dues at home is taken care of.
  5. I believe immigrants make Canada stronger — when they come legally, assimilate and work!!. Much more careful background checks need to be done and not allow criminals.
  6. You can marry who you want.
  7. I believe men are men and women are women. Surgery or hormones don’t change that. Men should use men’s bathrooms, and women should use women’s bathrooms.
  8. I believe schools are for education. Kids should learn life skills, math, history, reading, and science only.
  9. I believe Canada is in a mental health crisis. Mental health care is real, it matters, and it desperately needs to be addressed.
  10. I believe guns aren’t the problem – people are. Gun control only infringes on constitutional rights. But I also believe in common sense: background checks are necessary to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally ill. I’m a conservative because I believe in faith, family, freedom, and personal responsibility. I don’t want a government that controls every aspect of our lives – I want a government that protects our rights, secures our borders, defends our freedoms, and then gets out of the way.
    We are strongest when Canada takes care of Canadians first, when families are supported, when our veterans are honored, and when our children are given truth, not propaganda. I love this country, and I believe it’s worth fighting for.

#1 Agreed, except in Canada, gun ownership is not a constitutional right. Thats the USA. That said, the rest of that statement is true! And I agree. Use that money to stop illegal guns getting into the hands of criminals, ie, unlawful gun owners, and maybe, stricter penalties and higher bail for repeat offenders!

#2 I think you would find most Liberals have the believe in most the same principles as well and want to see change for the best and most needed for this country right now.

The End
