Mr Socks is the leader of one of the six parties with more than 1% of support in the polls contesting the election. They are, in alphabetical order:
- le Bloc Québécois, led by Yves-François Blanchet
- the Conservative Party of Canada, led by Erin O'Toole... with an "e", to be sure
- the Green Party of Canada, led by Annamie Paul, who is a black woman who professes to be Jewish, thus the current darling of the lamestream media
- the Liberal Party of Canada, led by Himself
- the New Democratic Party (60 years old this year), led by Jagmeet Singh, who is a south Asian Sikh but (too bad for him) not a woman
and... wait for it...
- le Parti Populaire du Canada / People's Party of Canada, led by Maxime Bernier.
You remember "Mad Max" don't you? If not, check out "Non à l'implantation d’un passeport sanitaire! / Say No to the Vaccine Passport!", a short video posted here six days ago.
The Leaders' Debates Commission, a supposedly non-partisan group chaired by former Governor-General David Johnston, is organizing two Leaders' Debates, in French and English, to be televised on September 8th and 9th. The Commission announced, very quietly, late Friday afernoon (when all Canadians are en route to their cottages), that all the leaders had been invited to participate, with the exception of... wait for it... Maxime Bernier!
The excuse given by the Commission for deplatforming Mad Max is that to be eligible to participate, one must be the leader of a party which:
- has at least one MP in the House of Commons who was elected as a member of that party
-.received at least four per cent of the total number of votes cast in the 2019 election, and
- has a national support level of at least four per cent, five days after the date the election is called, as measured by leading national public opinion polling organizations.
The first criterion was in place in 2019 but was struck down by a court challenge, since M Bernier had a seat in Parliament, having been elected as a Conservative prior to forming the PPC. So the second and third criteria were added to raise the bar high enouogh that the PPC would not qualify.
As it was, it was close. A poll released just ahead of Mr Johnston's announcement put the People's Party at 6% of decided voters, compared with 3% for the Soylent Greens. But the Commission calculated the PPC's average level of national support at 3.27%, just enough to lose out.
Why do they want to keep Maxime Bernier from speaking to a national audience? Because the People's Party of Canada is the only truly conservative party in the race, and M Bernier the only leader to stand up for true social conservative principles and Western values -- particularly freedom of speech and the fair and open debate of ideas!
The mandate of the Leaders' Debate Commission -- never spoken or written but very clear for all that -- is to prevent Canadian voters from hearing and beind "misinformed" by the PPC's politically incorrect ideas
M Bernier said he is "disappointed, but not surprised" by the Commission's ruling.
"I do not blame the Commission, whose criteria were clear and objective," he said [rather charitably. Ed.] "Rather, I blame the political establishment cartel, which refuses to debate the crucial issues we raise and has done everything to marginalize us since the founding of the PPC."
UPDATE ADDED 24/8/21: The latest poll from the Angus Reid Institute -- more respected than the liberal shitweasels Ipsos -- has the PPC at 3%, and I guess the decimals (not shown) put them ahead of the Greens, also shown at 3%. By that score, neither party qualifies for the Leaders' Debate, for which the threshhold (see above) was set at 4%, to keep Max Bernier off the platform! Yet the lickspittle media gives at least 30 seconds to Annamie Paul every day. For Max? Nada.
