Aaron Gunn speaks well at the Conservative National Convention: Getting governement out of the way

Aaron Gunn makes a good point. John A. MacDonald, the father of confederation was a conservative. Canadian federation was a Conservative dream. The railway tied the nation together from coast to coast without being reliant on the United States.

John Diefenbaker, put the dream on paper in the Canadian Bill of Rights. He wrote the preamble to the Bill of Rights which states "I am Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind." Not just citizens.

Yesterday I saw an old timer at the gym who rides a Harley with the Widow's Son logo on it. I mentions the Douglas College ad I saw saying they want critical thinkers and skeptics. Then I said that's exactly what they don't want. He agreed and said don't get me started on the radical left indoctrination is school. 

He mentioned the radical left but said the radical right is also a problem. I agreed and said the far left and the far right end up at the same place. He said exactly. Just look at Justin Trudeau and Donald Trump. Meaning Justin Trudeau was too far left and Trump 2.0 was too far right. Enough said. 

ICE is insane. That's not promoting freedom and civil liberty. That's not a Conservative principle it's a Nazi principle where the right crosses the line and abandons the Conservative principles they once held. It's not promoting the charter principles of due process, legal representation and freedom from unlawful arrest and unnecessary searches or seizures.

ICE isn't supporting the constitution it's violating it. The same with DOGE. DOGE went in the wrong direction. You can't balance the budget by firing everyone who works for the government. That's why Poilievre lost his seat in Ottawa. 

All the government workers didn't want to lose their job. In his speech Aaron Gunn said the Conservative party is the party for the workers who believe in working hard and profiting from the fruits of their labour. Poilievre made workers and Unions the enemy. Abraham Lincoln said "All that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without Labor."

Aaron Gunn understands this. Pierre Poilievre does not. The DOGE cuts were on the wrong things. We don't need to go from reckless spending to reckless cuts. First we need to stop the reckless spending. The DOGE cuts were also hypocritical because they were followed by reckless spending.

Look at the ICE recruitment ads with the signing bonuses. Aside from being totally Neo Con and a complete violation of the civil liberty promised in the US Constitution, they are also fiscally irresponsible. It's a complete waste of money. 

ICE does nothing to stop the drug epidemic and the crime, violence and poverty it creates. All these Liberal strong holds of inner city waste lands filled with zombies. ICE does nothing to ease that suffering and lawlessness. It's a complete distraction from that pivotal problem draining the US economy. 

This is what Brian Mulroney and Stephen Harper did. They followed reckless cuts with reckless spending and we were no further ahead. That's exactly what Trump 2.0 is doing. Trump 2.0 is not fiscally responsible. He's just reckless and extreme. 

Donald Trump 2.0 is what got Mark Carney elected. It brings us back to the political pendulum. If it swings too far to the left, supporters start dropping off and say I don't support that. Then if it swings too far to the right, supporters drop off and say I don't support that. Balancing the extremes is a conservative principle.

If you dress modestly you dress conservatively. If you avoid high risk investments you invest conservatively. There is nothing extreeme about Conservative principles. We become extreme when we abandon conservative principles. Nuclear power is not green BTW. Hydroelectric power and natural gas is.
