Conservative Party leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre might never have made a racist comment in his life but that won’t stop his dunderheaded opponents from making that the basis of their hatred of the man and his campaign to replace the faux conservative Erin O’Toole. .All Poilievre had to say was that he liked “Anglo-Saxon speech” and that was somehow racist code for white supremacy. Of course we live in an age where Winston Churchill would not be able to get his “History of the English-Speaking Peoples” published because that title would certainly have offended someone. We live in one of the most petty ages in history, where the mainstream media and liberal politicians are obsessed with language that might offend someone so they are creating a language that is hugely offensive to everybody because it has been neutered of anything obliquely angry and left a festering pool of quivering neutrality that neither challenges nor inspires. .Poilievre is well aware that his opponents, within the CPC and without, will play the race card at any opportunity given them. So he came out ahead of them this week and condemned the ludicrous “Great Replacement Theory” that has been construed as the reason a madman killed 10 black people in Buffalo, N.Y. last weekend..It is unlikely that most Canadians had even heard of this conspiracy theory that suggests white people are being deliberately replaced by black and brown people in order to create a left-wing political order – but Poilievre felt compelled to denounce it. Why?.Well, in the United States, the Democratic Party – like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party – instinctively reach for identity and racial politics when attempting to smear and destroy their enemies and they did not let the Buffalo shooting go by without exploitation. Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was immediately claiming that Fox News’ Tucker Carlson had promoted the replacement theory on his nightly newscast – the most popular show on cable news – on 400 occasions..Where did he arrive at that conclusion? Well from the New York Times of course! This is the same Times that denied the validity of the Hunter Biden laptop when it could have been a vital issue in the 2020 presidential election between Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump and only recently declared – amidst overwhelming evidence – that the seamy computer detailing corrosive pay for play money making beside sex, drugs and outright addiction was not Russian disinformation. .Of course Tucker Carlson hasn’t been espousing any replacement theory but he has been demanding that the Biden administration at least affect some effort to stop the mass migration of illegals at the U.S. southern border. While Biden pours hundreds of billions of dollars into Ukraine and risks nuclear war in the process, he is blithely watching an ongoing invasion on his own border that is bringing human smuggling and epic quantities of lethal fentanyl with it. .If there’s any conspiracy theory that should be examined, it’s the outrageous claim that far-right groups are responsible for the demise of Alberta Premier Jason Kenny and are putting the conservative movement on a dangerous and extremist spiral that could even bring down Poilievre. Susan Delacourt in the Toronto Star asks, “Is Pierre Poilievre next?”.And just why would he be “next?” Kenney is clearly a victim of his own design. He had the opportunity to be the Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) of Canada and chose instead to be Ontario Premier Doug Ford of the West. Instead of ignoring the health department radicals and their utterly useless and eviscerating lockdowns and mandatory masking rules, Kenney, whom I’ve know since he was Reform MP, was an utter embarrassment at times, locking up evangelical Christians for having services and letting the police run rampant in the province while showing no support for the businesses who helped put him in power after being squashed by the previous NDP regime. And then Kenney used the race card – absurdly – while trying to maintain his grip on power..So why are these forces going to act against Poilievre, who is selling an entirely different message? Once again, the inference from the liberal media is that there is something dangerous afoot, something racist perhaps, something extreme. We’ve seen it all before..So Poilievre has nothing to apologize for. He’s running an honest campaign while promoting real conservative policy. .It’s former Progressive Conservative leader Jean Charest who has some explaining to do with the news Friday that Canada is banning China's Huawei Technologies and ZTE, another Chinese company, from our 5G wireless networks because of national security concerns. That means they use the technology to spy on people. I almost fell over when I read that this morning, given how much Trudeau admires China and its turn-on-a-dime authoritarian economy..Charest, of course, was a lobbyist for Huawei, and he refuses to say just how much money he made from that venture or even if he regrets working for communist China. You have to say, Trudeau might say that he admires China but at least he never actually worked for them. Charest did..But don’t expect the mainstream media to start grilling Charest about his lobbying years. He’s clearly their candidate. He’s the establishment candidate who won’t upset the statist applecart that has become Canada. .And don’t expect Poilievre’s detractors to stop slinging mud about racism or that his rallies resemble some kind of Ku Klux Klan celebration. The more ludicrous the claim, the more apt is the left to brazenly present it as truth.
