Yeah so i’m running for political office in the upcoming Federal election for my riding of Hamilton Mountain. A close associate of mine, Dr. David J Speicher, the virologist who published the DNA contamination study and who is working on many even more advanced and frightening studies, is runnning in the adjacent riding of Hamilton Centre.
I am also a co-founder of a company he and I are trying to build to commercialize his research since he has been cancelled so hard up here from his profession.
The PPC has about 7% support nationally based on the last election results, a solid 4th place after the uniparties. But there should be big momentum.
@Onyx_Z32 asked me if i would document all this stuff on here so figured i would.
already getting lots of maybe real maybe fake white nationalist troll accounts on X calling me a foreigner and a chinese plant… maybe they need to read my post history on here… lol.
that is correct. but there is no point, in my opinion, in settling for the ‘conservative’ party when they voted unanimously for the conversion therapy bill. they also didnt effectively oppose anything during covid and are not committing to do much other than be not-Trudeau.
Also, i have enough going on that i don’t need to be a politician anyways, but i will help develop the party because it matters.
I’m definitely not familiar with Canadian politics at all, but at least in the US if you’re a democrat unhappy with the democrat party, or a republican unhappy with the republican party you’re far better off fighting to reform the party than start a new one. Maybe it’s different in Canada but in the US we’re a two party system and without major campaign finance reform and changing the entire way we vote a 3rd party vote is basically just a throw away vote. Without moving to something like STV/RCV (Single Transferable Vote, Ranked Choice Voting) you will likely never see anything but a 2 party system in the US. And good luck ever making such a massive change to how we vote in our broken system. The system is designed to keep incumbents in power so they will never vote to change it.
We are a multi-party system with all parties being some shade of outright communism and then the ‘conservative’ party which is only sort of communist. Quite similar to the UK at present.
The PPC was founded by a former conservative MP that narrowly lost the leadership vote back 8 years ago and started the PPC
Ive been voting ppc in each of the 2 cycles theyve been around for. But the candidates were not engaged.
We’ll see what happens but this party is largely made up of defectors from the other parties.
Think of it as the canadian version of germany’s AFD party which is now #2 or UK’s reform party led by nigel farage.
mostly i think this is a learning experience to better understand the politcal process.
even inside the party some say dont do podcasts and others ask if i want to do podcasts.
the guys that have run other successful campaigns say podcasts and twitter dont get you votes in your riding. you need to canvass door to door in your riding for that and engage the voters in your specific community… that sounds wise.
the podcast or any other macro-activities are the responsibility of party leadership.
after this is all done I expect to be able to speak from actual hard-fought experience rather than just bullshitting like 99.99% of people do about everything.
