Ontario PC Party goes back to Stone Age

[tay]

The Canadian Press has learned that Patrick Brown’s chief of staff distributed a controversial letter on sex education a day before the Progressive Conservative leader said he first learned about it.

The letter that bore Brown’s electronic signature said that if his party formed government, it would “scrap” the Liberals’ updated sex-ed curriculum.

Brown wrote an op-ed days later in the Toronto Star disavowing the letter, saying that the local Tory campaign in the Scarborough-Rouge River byelection “went too far.”

Brown and Pappalardo did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Ontario PC leader says he strongly supports an updated sex-ed curriculum, and never should have sent a letter to voters in Scarborough-Rouge River suggesting the opposite.

His mea culpa was appropriate and politically mature. It bodes well for his future.

I never said anything about this forum. I doubt anybody on this forum is under 30. Maybe even 40.

Yes. All this new fangled sex talk is unnecessary.
Sounds about right for the head in the sand types.
This letter thing was a "Trump Like" marketing tactic.
They got their attention.

His mea culpa was contrived. But it obviously worked on you.

Immigrants should be taught our true Canadian values of tolerance and diversity.

So elections like this one.

Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives have triumphed in a key by-election after igniting a political firestorm over the province’s sexual-education curriculum.

Would not be won on the backs of ignorance and bigotry.

Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives have triumphed in a key by-election after igniting a political firestorm over the province’s sexual-education curriculum.

The victory in Scarborough-Rouge River on Thursday, which had been held by the Liberals since 1999, is a coup for PC Leader Patrick Brown, who is seeking to prove he can make inroads in the vote-rich Toronto suburbs by appealing to immigrant communities.

But his double-U-turn on sex-ed during the final days of the race – and questions about the role the controversial subject played in the victory – could haunt his leadership.

Mr. Cho took 39 per cent of the vote to Liberal Piragal Thiru’s 29 per cent and 27 per cent for the NDP’s Neethan Shan. Voter turnout was 28 per cent.

So we should teach migrants our values of tolerance and diversity? Seems pretty damn condescending to me.

Given they are living to emigrate from their country in the first place, most of them are probably more cosmopolitan than your average Canadian.

Let's not confuse universal values relating to drugs, crime, and prostitution with openness to other cultures.

Many English and French Canadians often misinterpret the social conservatism of immigrants with racial, ethnic, or other prejudices. Law and order are universal moral rules that are not limited to any one ethnic group.

You would rather he said nothing?

Don't confuse conservatism with nationalism; and especially don't confuse conservatism with white nationalism.

The danger right now is that white nationalism is growing, and it's infiltrating mainstream parties. When white nationalists in the UK saw that the BNP was going nowhere, they hopped on the more successful UKIP bandwagon. White nationalists in the US are trying to highjack the Republican Party, and it looks like it's working so far.

Even in Canada, the dog-whistlers within the Conservative Party don't necessarily represent the whole party, but they're growing. The dog-whistle is to tell other white nationalists to join the Conservative Party and take it over.

However, I have not come across any such dog-whistle in the Ontario PC Party yet, progably because the white nationalists have other parties to turn to right now. However, based on the trend elsewhere, I would not be surprised to see white nationalists decide to try to take over a major provincial party in the future too.

Wow.

Your paranoia is showing.

There are a gosh aweful lot of blue collar brown people in Canada that bitch about the same things whites do.

They aren't impressed by the "susti" Liberals.

We're Canadian.

We don't have values.

My views are consonant with the founding Charter of Western Civilization, which is Christian, and has been at war with Islam.. the only other world religion with a global messianic mission.. since the 7th Century. The West's problem now is that it has been attacked from the inside by a resurgent gnostic, pagan cult... which we see all around us (in Wynne and J.Trudeau).. and which will lead the West to ruin.

There is no God. It's all made up to control the weak minds within the masses. Deal with it.

There really is only one Gnosticism, although in several disguises. It was aligned, in fact the origin, of many early heresies which denied the divinity of Christ, viewed the material world as Evil and in conflict with purely spiritual realm of Good. It espoused a mystical, esoteric doctrine deeply antipathetic to the human cause in the world.

It was characterised by carnality, morbidity, passivity, pessimism, fatalism. It is clearly visible now in radical environmentalism, eroticism, homoeroticism, feminism, relativism, radical individualism.. and is fundamentally opposed to all concepts of a sacred character and destiny to human life or to a natural law subject to a supernatural divine order.

Hence it is manifested in rampant homosexuality, promiscuity, abortion, euthenasia, corruption of science to mystical psuedo scientific forms, devaluation of human agency in economy and industry, dissolution moral rigour and faith, exploitation, impoverishment, depopulation.. essentially an abandonment of purpose in life.

But as to your last point.. that is valid. There is a malicious super intellect behind all of this, who has convinced the world he does not exist.

Again...there is no god! Stop being delusional.
