Un an après avoir eu la chance de vous représenter aux dernières élections fédérales, je me mets à nouveau en route afin de mieux vous connaître et de discuter avec vous de cette dernière année pour le moins atypique! En plus, j’ai amené avec moi une toute nouvelle équipe. Des gens de cœur; motivés par le bien-être collectif, les valeurs progressistes et surtout le futur pays du Québec! Vous aurez la chance de les découvrir en parcourant cette infolettre, puisque chacun y tient une chronique sur des sujets qui les passionnent et qu’ils connaissent intimement. Qu’il est bon de reconnecter, car on va se le dire, les temps sont incertains. Il nous faut bien comprendre le climat social et les règles qui nous gouvernent. Cela est essentiel pour faire des choix éclairés pour nous et nos familles. Regardons l’histoire politique récente. Le gouvernement Libéral de Justin Trudeau a décidé de proroger le Parlement en août dernier, pour six semaines. La suite logique était donc la lecture d’un discours du trône par la gouverneure générale, Madame Julie Payette, en ouverture de la nouvelle session parlementaire. Exceptionnellement, un discours à la nation a aussi été prononcé seulement quelques heures plus tard par le premier ministre. Pourquoi cette adresse à la nation si urgente alors? Elle aurait dû simplement servir à informer et diriger la population face à la crise sanitaire à laquelle nous sommes tous confrontés actuellement. Bien que la crise de la COVID-19 ait fait partie de l’allocution de Justin Trudeau, le premier ministre a surtout paraphrasé la majorité du contenu du discours du trône et y est allé d’une entreprise de relations publiques. Si nous scrutons cette annonce du gouvernement de près, on comprend assez vite qu’il s’ingère dans les champs de compétence des provinces. À titre de rappel : La loi constitutionnelle de 1867 prévoit que les domaines suivants sont de juridiction provinciale: Les taxes et les impôts, les hôpitaux, les prisons, l'éducation, le mariage, la propriété et les droits civils. Il est aussi prévu que les compétences en immigration et en agriculture soient partagées entre les deux paliers de gouvernance.[1] En échange d’un transfert de sommes provenant du fédéral, les provinces sont responsables de l’administration des différents services de santé. Bien que ces transferts pour le Québec soient négociés séparément des autres provinces, la dernière entente date de 2017.[2] Elle ne tient donc pas compte des conséquences de l’actuelle pandémie sur l’entièreté du réseau de la santé et des finances publiques. En outre, le gouvernement Trudeau voudrait établir des règles uniformes sur les prestations des soins de santé d'un océan à l'autre! Sans compter que le financement deviendrait conditionnel à l'application de ses règles, donc adieu l'autonomie! Au niveau de l’agriculture, rien n'est prévu pour garantir la gestion de l'offre, tout au contraire. Ce système canadien protège pourtant plusieurs catégories d'agriculteurs: ceux qui produisent le lait et les produits laitiers, le poulet, le dindon, les œufs de consommation et les œufs.[3] Pour être fonctionnel et efficace, ce système repose sur trois éléments essentiels : le contrôle de la production, la détermination des prix et le contrôle des importations. Le but avoué est d'éviter la surproduction afin de garder une stabilité des prix et stocks. En mettant la gestion de l’offre en péril, c’est la pérennité de nos entreprises agricoles qui est en jeu. Ce qui est déjà problématique depuis plusieurs années, devient donc insoutenable et compromet toutes initiatives visant notre autonomie alimentaire. Le fédéral avait pourtant promis de ne faire aucune concession lors de la signature des traités PTPGP avec la zone du Pacifique et l’ACEUM concernant l’Amérique du Nord. Une autre promesse brisée! Ce qui explique pourquoi le Bloc Québécois a reçu l’appui des producteurs de lait du Québec et du Canada lorsqu’ils ont déposé le projet de loi C-216.[4][5] [1] https://lop.parl.ca/sites/PublicWebsite/default/fr_CA/ResearchPublications/201845E?

Il y a effectivement un mouvement séparatiste nommé Wexit qui court dans les provinces de l’ouest déjà depuis plusieurs mois. Ce mouvement tient du rassemblement du Maverick Party avec le Wildrose Party de l’Alberta et le Buffalo Party de la Saskatchewan. Le nom du mouvement est inspiré par le Brexit anglais.[1] Selon les adeptes de ce mouvement, les politiciens partisans de la confédération souhaitent prélever des impôts aux provinces riches pour les redistribuer aux provinces catégorisées comme moins bien nanties afin de les maintenir dans un état de dépendance ; en plus d’acheter des votes. Comprenons ici que les provinces dites riches, sont d’ailleurs des provinces dont l’économie est principalement basée sur l’exploitation pétrolière. Ils remettent donc évidemment en question la péréquation. Ce mouvement s’est amplifié depuis les dernières élections fédérales de 2019. On comprend pourquoi ils sont aussi frustrés par les alternatives écologiques proposées par le Québec et le gouvernement fédéral; ce qui les empêche de faire de l’exploitation pétrolière illimité. Ils clament aussi haut et fort que les efforts de réconciliation avec les Premières Nations ne doivent en aucun cas nuire à la prospérité économique.[2] Et, vous, comment entrevoyez-vous l’avenir ? Êtes-vous prêts à vous serrer les coudes et tirez le meilleur parti de ce qui pourrait devenir une crise constitutionnelle? Au plaisir d’échanger avec vous et à bientôt!

We believe in hard work, we believe in sharing, we believe in doing the right thing and we want government to leave us the hell alone and stay out of our way. We are somewhat unique in wanting government to leave us alone. Generally, our country is left of centre in its politics and “free” stuff is the order of the day. We are pissed with the way every politician kowtows to Quebec (including the Conservatives) but would we not be better off accepting the reality that the squeaky wheel gets the grease and learn from Quebec? They have played us brilliantly. $13.1 billion in equalization payment this past year, special rules that apply only to them (see their Bill 21 as an example) and a veto over pipelines even Erin O’Toole supports (Click here). We may not like his politics but we could sure use a guy like Blanchet in Western Canada. You know where he stands and he makes no apologies. He could care less about the rest of Canada – he only cares about Quebec. Applying the rule in golf that you have to – “play the ball where it lies” - to our political situation, we have to accept it for what it is and try to figure out a realistic way to deal with it.

  • A Radical Right-Wing Failure in Canada: the People's Party in The
    A Radical Right-Wing Failure in Canada: The People’s Party in the 2019 Federal Election Charles Buck Department of Political Science, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON Canada. Faculty supervisor: Dr. Edward A. Koning. For correspondence, please email: [email protected]. Abstract This article is a quantitative investigation into why Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada (PPC), a radical right-wing party (RRP), failed to succeed in the 2019 Canadian federal election. Canada has not witnessed the electoral breakthrough of such a party. I argue the failure of the PPC was the result of a mixture of the stabilization of immigrant inflows and the softening of anti-immigrant sentiment. More favourable conditions for the PPC, including extensive media coverage and increasing support for populist and mildly authoritarian sentiment, may have been necessary, but were not sufficient to allow for an RRP breakthrough. RRPs are unlikely to succeed in Canada as long as the immigration rate remains predictable and Canadians continue to hold favourable views towards immigrants. Keywords: radical right-wing, far-right, anti-immigration, populism, Canadian politics, People’s Party of Canada Introduction The electoral support of radical right-wing parties 2019, winning zero seats and taking only 1.64% of the popular (RRPs)1 has risen dramatically over the last few decades.2 This vote. Why did it fail in Canada’s 2019 election, in contrast to trend is particularly acute in Western Europe. So far, Canada so many RRPs in Europe, and despite the anticipation of so has been one of the few industrialized liberal democracies that many political observers? My research will answer this has not seen the establishment of a successful RRP.3 question by investigating the viability of RRPs in Canada in Following his resignation from the Conservative Party of general, and Bernier’s People’s Party and its failure in the Canada, Maxime Bernier formed the People’s Party of Canada 2019 federal election in particular.
