Dear Conservative Party of Canada ... the Reform Party, forerunner of what eventually became the CPC, was once called extremist as well. They weren't however, were they?
ISN’T THIS WONDERFUL ...
The Conservative Party of Canada (CPC), which
claims no allegiance to the bc LIBERAL Party, is actively campaigning to have
people vote No, as recommended by the Liberals, on the Referendum vote currently
underway ... and they're using the same scare tactics as the LIBERALS!
Not only that, at the same time they're also using the vote as a fund-raising method, by using the following terms to scare people – just like the bc LIBERALS:
… radically change … poorly-conceived … trying to force … dictate a major shift in a province’s democracy … extremist parties … a real danger … back rooms cloaked in secrecy … disaster … consequences could be dire …
GIVE ME A BREAK!
Here's just a brief portion of an email which was sent out by the CPC yesterday (Nov 15th)
" ... I don’t need to tell you about how extremist parties are a real danger of proportional representation – there’s examples of them holding the balance of power in democracies around the world ... they are playing fast and loose with the fundamental way we govern ourselves, and the consequences could be dire ... defend our democracy, and stand against this reckless change to our electoral system ... under proportional representation, coalition governments will be made in back rooms, cloaked in secrecy ... please consider making a donation to the federal Conservative Party so that we can fight for responsible government ... "
GOOD GRIEF ... what a pile of horse manure!
Oh, and by the way CPC ... the Reform Party, forerunner of what eventually became the CPC, was once called extremist as well. They weren't however, were they? That was just BS from those running scared of representative democracy that Reform stood for—MPs actually representing the will and wishes of their constituents!
It is sad to see the federal Conservative Party of Andrew Scheer showing such callousness now, and getting mired in the same muck as the bc LIBERALS.

Exactly. I wonder why they like FPTP so much? It might have to do with a depp seated fear of losing relevance. When a political party starts to fear the electorate, that's about the time I start having issues supporting them.
