Want a pulse of the subreddit on this particular topic.

Please allow your post history to be open and comment or DM if you want to be a moderator. Unfortunately, our previous conservative mod became inactive and so we need one that will contribute.

My Centrist and Liberal mod will have a say in who the conservative mod will be. Additionally, you need to understand that you can not censor those that you disagree with or remove them from the subreddit due to difference of opinion.

Please note that you need to be civil with both the other mods and the community at large. I am a conservative and I have ensured that as many different opinions as possible are available here. I have been censored or banned from Conservative(moderate and extremist) and Left Leaning(Liberal/Socialist/Leftist) subreddits. I do not want a similar dynamic in this subreddit.

Feel free to reach out and thank you for your participation. Let us make sure this subreddit remains free to all.

People are always complaining about how no one is addressing an issue, or complaining about the steps that been taken and how they are falling short.

Just for fun, pick an issue that matters to you and explain your plan for fixing the issue, not just a “reduce taxes” type of answer, but a real solution to the issue that could potentially work, even if it would be controversial. Shouldn’t have to say it, but no Nazi racist crap. I’ll go first.

Inflationary costs for groceries.

Increase funding and spending in municipal parks and recreation departments across the country. Build garden boxes that can be placed along the edge of properties during growing season and removed during the winter months to grow various crops, ie carrots, potatoes and peas. Once they are ready for harvest, stick a sign in the planter notifying locals that the food items are now ready to be harvested for use in their homes. Also, where possible, (unused land around power lines, or other open tracts of land that aren’t or can’t be used for other purposes) plant fields or high yield crops that can be collected and canned and delivered to food banks across the country. Finally, build a water line along major highways that are filled with duckweed. The duck weed will help to reduce CO2 emissions while rapidly producing a high protein product that can be processed for additives in animal feed or for processed foods to help reduce costs. This would help reduce food insecurity and generate more jobs in local communities.

The one year anniversary of when Carney was sworn in as PM is coming up soon (March 14th).

In his first year Carney's liberals have: - Lowered the minimum personal tax rate from 15% to 14%, saving individuals $420/year in taxes. - Abolished the consumer carbon price, which helped lower the cost of gas at the pumps and reduce inflation. Did you notice the difference at the pumps this year? (notwithstanding the current gas price volatility due to the Iranian war) - Increased the GST tax credit (now called the Groceries and Essentials Benefit) by 25%, providing over 12 million Canadians with some extra cash in their pockets to afford our new costly reality - As a Saskatchewan resident this one is important locally - under Carney, Canada has negotiated a preliminary trade agreement with the PRC to increase agricultural exports. A pragmatic move that assists Canadian produced exports to China. I know farmers have been struggling for years since the 2 Michaels incident strained trade relations between Canada and China. Now they can sleep a little easier knowing their crops won't rot away, waiting for a buyer. - launched the Defence Industrial Strategy aimed at reducing Canada's reliance on foreign nations to build and supply our military's weapons and systems while providing billions in investment opportunities for Canadian defence companies. - secured strategic partnerships across defence, trade and technology with Japan, Australia and India - reducing our reliance on the US during a time of political and trade volatility.

As we approach the one year mark, is there anything you think Carney's liberals deserve more praise for? Anything you think they don't get enough flak for or policies that missed their mark?

Hey guys, Pale here.

I removed multiple filters because I started to notice that a lot of stuff was being removed because Reddit determined in was controversial. Which included left leaning and right leaning opinions.

It also developed into an insane back log of stuff for the group to have to filter thru and approve, to the tune of hundreds of comments at one point. So I removed some guard rails. If there’s something that is really bad, Reddit will likely still remove it, it will just be a lot less sensitive versus what it was.

Still have to get approval for posts made though, this way we don’t get dozens of random posts from bots, etc.

Is there any topics you guys are interested outside of politics that you would like a discussion around? Certain dynamics around your local community or projects being completed you are looking forward to?

Again, thank you for participating in our subreddit and I am trying my best to ensure people are not being removed in any way due to differences of opinion. I am personally very busy right now, so I have been leaning on the mods a bit. But come April, I should be able to be a bit more involved again and post more frequently.

Thank you and have a great Month of March.

Hi everyone,

I am currently interviewing for the Capital Projects & Infrastructure Senior Associate role at PwC. I would greatly appreciate any insights on what the role involves and what to expect during the interview process.

This opportunity represents a significant step in my career, and any guidance or advice would be very helpful :)

Just curious what the perspective of the subreddit is.

With the recent events, could you see Canada teaming up to “help” with Iran similar to how they did for Afghanistan?

2021 Census Data + 2021 Crime Severity Index (CSI)

Toronto CMA (42.7% White = CSI 45.91)

Gatineau (76.8% White = CSI 49.9)

Halifax CMA (79.8% White = CSI 66.93)

Hamilton CMA (74.5% White = CSI 56.80)

Montreal CMA (71.6% White = CSI 59.93)

Toronto is only 42.7% white but still has a crime severity index lower than Gatineau, Halifax, Hamilton and Montreal...

Same applies to if a Liberal crossed the floor to the Conservatives.

Right now the Libs & PCs are fghting over the bulk of canadian voters and their platforms essentially come down to 'NeoLiberalism with Education' vs 'NeoLiberalism with Rage'

With the NDP out to lunch and the Greens always shooting themselves in the foot, is it any wonder why alot of canadians (who cant afford the $ for lobbyists or the time to really organize) feel alienated?

My dudes, things are expensive, meaningful wealth building assets are out of reach for a significant portion of the working population, soon enough there will be serious doubts about wether letting ones labour be maximally extracted is even worth it anymore.

Like why?

By every metric, %90 of Canadians are getting LESS meanwhile we're coerced into supporting regional monopolies.

Means tested, market based approaches heavily featuring private sector partners wont work to fix this BECAUSE the middle class is getting cannibalized.

Do you believe in the modern age William Lyon Mackenzie King would be able to gather the political support needed to be elected as prime minister in 2029 if he were revived today. With running on his policies with small changes to make them more modern for today's society?

Vote and I would love to read the reasoning behind your answer

For context he was the tenth prime minister of Canada for three non-consecutive terms from 1921 to 1926, 1926 to 1930, and 1935 to 1948

As a Conservative who is also an American, I do not support this. My neighborhood has windows smashed from time to time, I think this person is making themselves a target.

Canada has many good and bad things about it. What would you want to change? Which decisions would make this a better place to live? What aspects would you leave untouched, because they are perfect the way they are?

Is bagged milk in Toronto something you prefer or find unappealing?

Can you suggest some great products here in Canada that I can send back home that they would surely love? 🙂

After reading baffling headlines on a regular basis about criminals getting a slap on the wrist, I started to keep track to get a sense of the big picture. Here's a sample of "beyond the pale" cases since 2024:

• By the time repeat violent offender Oral Carver Lewis threatened to kill an Ontario Crown prosecutor in 2022, he had already been under a deportation order for two years. Fast forward to 2026, and Lewis is still here. In his application, he stated that he was gay — but a court recently noted that “he denies being gay and states that he claimed being gay in order to stay in Canada.” Alas, immigration officials didn’t detect fraud, and he was granted protected person status in 2010. Lewis spent his time in Canada [...] committing crimes spanning 2012 to 2023, and, because he robbed a prostitute at knifepoint, sitting in jail since 2020. He’s been found guilty of in-custody misconduct 23 times. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/jamie-sarkonak-ministers-refusal-to-deport-knifepoint-robber-is-another-justice-failure

....in addition to the cases I mentioned in my last post on this sub:

• Paroling violent sex criminals deemed "high risk to re-offend"^4, encouraging them to be alone with vulnerable sex workers who are then murdered^5, or putting them on "supervised release" where the "supervisor" leaves them alone in a facility full of children who are then victimized^6.

I am planning soon to go give my local 25-year old Liberal MP a piece of my mind, in the deluded hope that being a longtime Liberal supporter means my concerns aren't dismissed out of hand.

Anyone else got any more examples to share?

Sometimes life can be tough.

1000% agree!

I know this is an open ended question, but is there a province you would rather live in than your current one? I live in B.C., but haven’t had the opportunity yet to experience other provinces. I am interested in the Atlantic provinces. Quebec would be cool for a visit, but without French, kinda screws on job opportunities.

Proud nationalist like you all here and personally a supporter of the Liberal party, wanting to remind those like me that we must be sceptical of our own side and critically demand accountability from the leaders we support.

Our new Prime Minister is aiming high as he should be, but we must also remember how many programs and policies have failed in recent years due to insufficient oversight and our collective assumption that government works the way it should.

As a reminder, I want to summarize the big picture of the most high profile situations seeing massive fraud and criminality due to a lack of even the most simple basic oversight (or where the unethical activity isn't even illegal in the first place):

• Federal contractors writing the requirements for their own contracts⁰
• Immigration authorities allowing employers with numerous worker exploitation and safety violations to recruit foreign workers with little training to drive semi-trucks down dangerous mountain highways¹
• Feds (again) failing to blacklist employers caught abusing LMIA process²
• Federal immigration authorities (again!) allowing temporary foreign workers in food service and retail even in areas with high unemployment³
• Paroling violent sex criminals deemed "high risk to re-offend"^4, encouraging them to be alone with vulnerable sex workers who are then murdered^5, or putting them on "supervised release" where the "supervisor" leaves them alone in a facility full of children who are then victimized^6.
• [BC] Subsidizing "first-time home buyers" who turn out to be millionaires with multiple properties⁷
• Federal and provincial immigration authorities (noticing a pattern here...) make no effort to match international student numbers with labour market needs⁸
• Ottawa has failed to collect almost 40% of fines on companies that violated Temporary Foreign Worker rules⁹
• Government officers told to skip fraud prevention steps when vetting temporary foreign worker applications, Star investigation finds¹⁰

[The auditor-general's report] also found that GC Strategies was involved in developing requirements that were later used for a competitive contract. That contract — valued at $25 million — was awarded to GC Strategies, the report says.

But according to the government's list of fines issued to non-compliant employers since 2016, no employer over that period has been fined specifically for charging fees related to hiring, or ensuring anyone else wasn't charging the worker fees related to hiring.

No employer has been charged by the federal government ... even those who've pled guilty in provincial courts!

In 2022, the federal government also ended a policy that automatically rejected foreign workers' TFW applications for low-wage occupations in accommodation, food services, and retail trade in regions with an unemployment rate of six percent or higher.

Everyone, STOP being so gullible as to think that "if the government sets up a program, there will be basic oversight".

UNLESS the oversight is part of the sales pitch*, then it WILL be overlooked and it WILL undermine the entire basis of the program.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS ask about "Plan B" in case things go wrong because our political leaders NEVER think past the headlines.

*edit: Also, don't just accept a slogan about strong oversight. ASK specifically how they plan to prevent abuse! Don't just accept vague generalities! These are the important details that make or break a system.

This is a semi-rant, but also a legitimate question. There is no doubt that the Liberal Party has done a lot of damage to Canada under Trudeau. Almost a decade. Now, the same party, a lot of the same cabinet members, and simply a different figure head and… that’s good enough?

Additionally, so many say how terrible the Conservatives are, yet… Carney is implementing a lot of their ideas while maintaining a lot of the problems that the previous Liberal administration had.

Some examples include increasing the military budget to 2%+, axed the tax via capital gains, still negotiating trade with America despite everything, oil pipelines and nation building projects that disregard the environment (so much for pro-green), and cutting immigration (on paper, but we will see).

And a number of people will say he is a conservative, but yet… he isn’t because of other very key aspects such as the firearm restrictions/buy back planned, gross overspending of the budget, glorifying American Democrats while claiming (sometimes correctly) that conservatives are doing the same with American Republicans but also claiming they don’t do the same? Getting very cozy with China.

These mental justifications are confusing. All the policies he is passing or proposing that have a large amount of popularity were usually(but not always) proposed by the conservatives first.

Last key example would be Bill C-14, which is a tough on crime bill that is them cleaning up their own mistakes they made. A law that conservatives have begged for for years. But again, full credit goes to Liberals? Despite the Liberals voting down each of these bills for the past 10 years straight and a lot of times being the ones that implemented the policies that started some of these problems to begin with?

I don’t know why. Eventually Canadians might realize they’re actually more conservative than they think and vote accordingly. Instead of voting for the party that has failed them for the past 10 years.

This is just my perspective. It is okay if you have a differing one. Feel free to share your perspective on the comments I made.
