Moving Forward - Suggestions for Canada's Conservative Party

The following is a list of suggestions for the Conservative Party of Canada to consider moving forward.  It will be updated and edited as new ideas arise.

Let's be real!

The Conservative Party of Canada may have won the popular vote but they are in trouble.

There are too many Canadians on the liberal side of the politcal spectrum. Even as the official opposition party, Conservatives will lose every major issue to the Liberal Party of Canada since the NDP and the Green party are all left leaning parties. Those parties will likely side with the Liberal Party on every major platform.

Even if the Conservative Party had won the 2019 election, they still would have not a majority and the other three parties would resist them at every ideological political intersection.

Thus if the Conservatives wants to survive, they will have to take serious measures.

1.  Figure it out! Be a force to be reckoned with by uniting with similar parties.  

The Conservative Party lost seats in the Yukon, British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and would have been extremely competitive in several close ridings had the split between the Conservatives and the PPC not taken place.

Make a deal to reunited with the People's Party of Canada much like how Disney and Sony did to unite Spider-man with the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe. The PPC is so close to Conservatives politically that it is worth reconciling and making a win-win deal to take back government control.

Make a deal with the Libertarian Party of Canada.  According to reports, the leader of the Libertarian Party, Tim Moen was at one time considering a merger with the People's Party of Canada.

With a broader base, Conservatives will cull more Canadian interest.

2. Fix the federal seat structure

You can't win an election that is tipped against you geographically before the election even begins.

Here's  an example.  The Province of Prince Edward Island with a population of 157K, has a tiny land mass and carries four ridings. They always vote Liberal in every election.  Grand Prairie- MacKenzie has a giant land mass with a population of 117K and carries only one riding.  They always vote Conservative.  Do the population math as ask yourself if that sounds fair.

If not, fix it.

3.  Geographical Political Targeting

Get better at it immediately.   If Conservatives keep doing a terrible job reaching out to the battleground areas then it's over.

Spend the money, get it done and shift the conversations to issues that really matter in those areas. This is exactly how Donald Trump won the 2016 U.S. Elections according to his current campaign manager Brad Parscale.  Here is a video on how they did it.

4. Avoid Social Justice issues and hit them hard with the real issues.

As the political saying goes..."It's the economy stupid."

The only way you stop the three left leaning parties from making identity politic accusations is to make the issues that really matter so important and so dire that they can't ignore it or deflect.

5. Publicly call out the mainstream media

Call them out on their bias and keep doing it until they either change, admit what they are doing, or become obsolete.

If you think the media is biased in America, how do you feel about the left leaning media in Canada?

Taxpayers pay for the CBC to run shows like This Hour Has 22 Minutes. That show and social media has gone from political comedy to veiled bias.  There's a huge difference between saying funny lines like...

Conservatives win popular vote, the first time Andrew Scheer has ever won a popularity contest.

or
Obama was the first black President, Justin was the first blackface Prime Minister.

to outright politcal baiting and shaming.  Many conservatives and even liberals have called this out.

6.  Defend Canadians from "hate speech" attacks

Grab a backbone.  If Conservatives keep playing identity politics like the Liberals and mainstream media do, then they are going to lose again.  They need to defend Canadians from these attacks,  especially the nonsensical social justice warrior attacks.

7. Allow the alternative media to flourish

Level the playing field. Grassroots means grassroots. What worked for America can work in Canada.  Let stifled Canadian voices be silenced no longer.

If alternative media groups run hot, they can make a difference and be the silent majority.  Give them a bigger platform.  Social media giants are unfairly censoring conservative and even liberal voices all over the world. Do the opposite. Listen to these voices. Give them wings to fly your message across Canada.

8. Get candidates with personality.

Leaders and candidates that do not connect with voters will lose.  Remember that!
