Methinks Maxime Bernier's party ain't got a prayer with the peoplekind in Fundy Royal All the Dairy Farmer's support either the liberals or the conservatives while they all tried to ignore me since 2004 Furthermore Mr Scheer loves milk that how he beat Bernier for the leadership of their questionable political party that Bernier quit N'esy Pas?

Tories cry foul as Maxime Bernier spills the beans, er, milk on leadership race

Thousands of Quebec dairy farmers joined the party for one day, and for one purpose — to vote against Bernier, who campaigned to abolish supply management
Andrew Coyne April 11, 2018 8:57 PM EDT

"Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer joked that he “made deals with nobody” — before drinking from a carton of milk at the press gallery dinner last June."
Photo Fred Chartrand/The Canadian Press/File

"To my knowledge the facts are not in dispute. Andrew Scheer won the Conservative leadership race last year by the narrowest of margins, less than one per cent of the available “points” under the party’s system of equal weighting of ridings. The difference was supplied by several ridings in Quebec, and specifically by the votes of thousands of dairy farmers.

It wasn’t that these Quebec dairy farmers had any great personal enthusiasm for Scheer; I imagine they’d be hard pressed to pick him out of a crowd. Neither would most of them have had any attachment to the party, before or since. They joined for one day, and for one purpose — to vote for Scheer, or rather to vote against Maxime Bernier, his nearest rival — and, having completed that task, most of them were never seen again.

Why did they want to stop Bernier? Because he had campaigned to abolish supply management, the official euphemism for what would otherwise be known as a state-sanctioned price-fixing scheme in force in several agricultural industries, dairy among them."

Reply to @David Raymond Amos: Methinks this is the best part of the article because they are sourced from Bernier's book N'esy Pas?

"The result was to leave the party hitched to what is widely acknowledged as an indefensible policy, one that takes food off the table of the country’s poorest families for the benefit of a dwindling number of wealthy quota-owners. That the policy — combining internal supply quotas, sky-high external tariffs, and heavy doses of government regulation — makes a mockery of every principle for which the party allegedly stands is probably worth mentioning as well.

So naturally the response of party supporters, on being lately reminded of all this, was fury … at the guy who pointed it out.

That would be Bernier. In his forthcoming book, the plangently titled Doing Politics Differently: My Vision for Canada, a chapter of which was released this week, the former industry minister recalls how Scheer’s campaign courted the dairy industry’s “fake Conservatives,” who were “only interested in blocking my candidacy and protecting their privileges.” He notes the ballooning of party membership in Quebec just before the vote, from 6,000 to 16,000, and its collapse back to 6,000 shortly afterward.

And that’s about it. He does not attribute his defeat solely to his stand on supply management: indeed he thinks he won more votes than he lost over it. Neither does he question the legitimacy of Scheer’s victory — indeed he acknowledges that Scheer’s tactic is “fair game in a democratic system.” He merely points out that this sort of squalid trading of votes for favours is “why so many people are so cynical about politics.”

Raising a Little Hell- Lively Debate Provokes Crowd
By Erin Hatfield

"If you don't like what you got, why don't you change it? If your world is all screwed up, rearrange it."

The 1979 Trooper song Raise a Little Hell blared on the speakers at the 8th Hussars Sports Center Friday evening as people filed in to watch the Fundy candidates debate the issues. It was an accurate, if unofficial, theme song for the debate.

The crowd of over 200 spectators was dwarfed by the huge arena, but as they chose their seats, it was clear the battle lines were drawn. Supporters of Conservative candidate Rob Moore naturally took the blue chairs on the right of the rink floor while John Herron's Liberals went left. There were splashes of orange, supporters of NDP Pat Hanratty, mixed throughout. Perhaps the loudest applause came from a row towards the back, where supporters of independent candidate David Amos sat."

"Staying true to party platforms for the most part, candidates responded to questions about the gun registry, same sex marriage, the exodus of young people from the Maritimes and regulated gas prices. Herron and Moore were clear competitors,constantly challenging each other on their answers and criticizing each others’ party leaders. Hanratty flew under the radar, giving short, concise responses to the questions while Amos provided some food for thought and a bit of comic relief with quirky answers. "I was raised with a gun," Amos said in response to the question of the national gun registry. "Nobody's getting mine and I'm not paying 10 cents for it."

Methinks the gangs of individuals who create a political parties that suits their fancy are not mentioned or protected within our Constitution. We all run as individuals in each riding and the ones who were first past the post should vote in the the House in the best interests of the electorate that put them there.

Just their threat of violence at the event has caused the venue for the event to increase the security fee they are charging.

Bernier's PPC now the only national party with candidate vacancies

Candidates have until 2 p.m. local time Monday to file nomination forms




Mark Gollom · CBC News ·



The leaders of Canada's main political parties, clockwise from top left: NDP's Jagmeet Singh, Liberal Party's Justin Trudeau, Conservative Party's Andrew Scheer, Yves-Francois Blanchet of the Bloc Québécois, Green Party's Elizabeth May, People's Party of Canada's Maxime Bernier. (Ben Nelms/Reuters, Henry Nicholls/Reuters, Chris Wattie/Reuters, Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)












With the official deadline for federal candidate nominations just days away, the People's Party of Canada is now the only national party that still hasn't filled out its roster with candidates in all 338 ridings across Canada.

The filing deadline for candidates is 2 p.m. local time Monday.

"That's why we encourage candidates not to wait until the last minute because if there is a mistake or an error, that would have been past the deadline," said Nathalie Demontigny of Elections Canada.







People's Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier had pledged to have a candidate in each riding, but as of Thursday the party was still short, with 325 candidates having been endorsed by the new party.

The Liberals still had two vacancies as of Thursday but confirmed this morning that they now have a full slate.

Green, Conservatives, NDP say they have full slate


The Green Party, the Conservatives and the NDP also say they have full slates of candidates ready to go for the election on Oct. 21.
Asked on Thursday about not having a full slate yet, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau would only say that he looks "forward to presenting 338 extraordinary candidates to Canadians on October 21."

The party did not provide a demographic breakdown of their candidates, instead, saying an email to CBC News, the team "includes veterans, teachers, environmentalists, Indigenous leaders, LGBTQ2 advocates, entrepreneurs, scientists, labour leaders, first responders, Olympians and Paralympians, experienced Parliamentarians, and more."

But a tally on their website of the number of female candidates, so far, indicates a total of 133.








Incumbent denied a nomination


This week, the Liberal Party faced some controversy over nominations. The Globe and Mail reported that Montreal-area incumbent candidate Eva Nassif said she was denied the Liberal nomination in her riding, in part because she did not post social-media tributes earlier this year lauding Trudeau as a feminist.
 
One of the last slots for the Conservatives to fill was the riding of Winnipeg North. They had been the only party to begin the campaign with 338 candidates. But their Winnipeg North candidate stepped down after controversial comments he had made on social media about Islam and ethnic groups were revealed.

On Thursday evening, the party website listed Jordyn Ham as running in the riding. But as of publication time, her name did not appear on Elections Canada confirmed list of candidates.
A Conservative spokesman said 107 of the party's candidates are women.

The NDP, meanwhile, provided a full demographic breakdown of their candidates. Almost half of their candidates — 49 per cent (166), are female, while 24 per cent (80) are racialized, 12 per cent (40) are from the LGBTQ2 community, 12 per cent (39) are youth candidates, eight per cent (27) are Indigenous and five per cent (17) are living with a disability.

Wanted to do things differently


During a campaign stop in  Campbell River, B.C.,  NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh acknowledged that his campaign had been repeatedly quizzed on why it had taken so long to fill all the candidate slots. But Singh said that he wanted to do things differently.
"It was one of my commitments to make sure we have a slate of candidates, a team of candidates that represent Canada," he said. "I'm proud that we've been able to achieve some pretty impressive results."

The Green Party said 46 per cent (156) of their candidates are women and four non-binary, five per cent (18) are racialized, four per cent (12) indigenous, and eight per cent (28) from the LGBTQ2 community.

Among the requirements needed to be eligible to run, a person must be 18, a Canadian citizen and have collected  the names, addresses, and signatures of at least 100 qualified electors.

A candidate can still withdraw his or her nomination by 5 p.m. local time on Sept. 30. But they must personally file a written statement of withdrawal with the returning officer, sign it and have it witnessed by two qualified electors, according to Elections Canada.
