Ben Shapiro Critiques the Conservative Party of Canada

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

Unfortunately in Canada, there is an impossible chance of a socially right wing party in power. At the verge of wtf is happening with the pandemic, the economic system is also beginning to turn left and holy fricking crap it’s horrible.

Our Canadian Conservative party leaves much to be desired ... we had a chance last year to elect a strong, principled, well-educated, well-spoken, conservationist-minded, fiscally and socially conservative party leader, who also happened to be a woman of colour, and we blew it. We went yet again with the "CINO" - conservative-in-name-only - candidate. And yet again, one election later, we still have Trudope.

[@muneebmoin2518]

Different cultures have different ideas of what constitutes a marriage. Some allow polygamy, concubinehood, etc. The government was always needed to set the bar on what marriage is and what regulatory and tax benefits a person can receive. Bens ideas are too delusional and idealistic. It’s the work around he requires to espouse his ideas without being completely censored. Trust me if the government adopted his views on what marriage is, there is no way he would still call for government neutrality

I don't agree with many of the comments saying the Conservative party isn't conservative. They are conservative. They are Canadian Conservatives. Measuring them based on American conservatism isn't fair, since America is much more right wing overall.

[@CH-yj2kw]

That's very true, and it's the same with the Liberal party. People think the Liberal party is a left wing party, but as a democratic socialist who did not and will not vote Liberal, that irritates me. If you judge from what is the American standard of left-wing, then the Liberals are definitely left. But in Canada, that is not true. The Liberals are centrist, and the NDP is the left wing party. I think when people look at Canadian parties, whether it be the Conservatives, Liberals or New Democrats, they should really try not to look at their policies through "stars and stripes" coloured glasses...

"Government protects life"...hahaha well sometimes that`s true. Have you considered Pol Pot, Stalin and Mao? Cambodia, U.S.S.R. and The People`s Republic of China ...did those governments protect life? Have you heard of war and economic shifts that cause loss of life? That`s just this century. Almost all governments participate in some activity against even a peaceful populace, they aren`t your friends, just a necessary control and coordination machine required for the existence of a large organized society.

[@Adam-qu5uk]

He is right you gay do what you want but why marriage why do a traditional act where it’s for a man and women basically religious ceremony for something you don’t stand for

[@maritimemisfits3360]

Not today it isn't. Your spouse is your power of attorney, executor of your will and others by default, not to mention tax purposes. Legal marriage has nothing to do with religion and all to do with government policies and regulations, gay individuals just want the same ease of falling into the same regulations.

The Right to Abortion in Canada is a settled issue, you cannot illegalize it because fundamentally it would go against the charter. Same with same sex marriage.

[@daerdevvyl4314]

Proud Canadian There’s no such thing as a settled issue. If there was, people would have said those two issues were settled when they were illegal. As for them being against the charter, show me where it says abortion and gay marriage are “rights” that can’t be infringed. It doesn’t say that, but if it did, it would be a case to use the notwithstanding clause. We have to stop letting judges make laws. That’s not their job.

[@2011Oly]

@@daerdevvyl4314 R v Morgentaler, [1988] 1 SCR 30 was a decision of the Supreme Court of Canada which held that the abortion provision in the Criminal Code was unconstitutional because it violated a woman's right under section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ("Charter") to security of person. Since this ruling, there have been no criminal laws regulating abortion in Canada.

[@2011Oly]

@@daerdevvyl4314 On December 9, 2004, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the marriage of same-sex couples is constitutional, that the Federal Government has the sole authority to amend the definition of marriage

[@jimkif4110]

Well abortion is murder and should be discouraged instead of promoted like a convenience. The guilt that accompanies abortion isn`t so great either. Regardless of what the secular intellectuals rely on to help them sleep at night, I think I`ll stick with a more traditional position. One that puts the responsibility of giving and taking life right where it belongs...It`s great that your proud of a government that gives the voter the power instead of the defenseless infant...infants can`t vote, especially dead ones...so I can see why the political decision favors the "rights" of females.

[@InlineDownhillVancouver]

In terms of government being hands off on issues like cannabis and marriage, I'm in *100%* agreement; gov't is a poor regulator of both in Canada and the USA. On the subject of Trudeau, Ben's Sanders comparison is quite off base. Just as he judges Trump on his policy, rather than public rhetoric, he needs to do the same with Trudeau; he would then see that Trudeau is clearly a neo-Liberal with few socialist or more left leaning policies, in the Canadian political spectrum.

[@06rtm]

It was more a quip by Shapiro than a complex analysis. Trudeau is not the centrist you paint him as however. He does still remain in favor of low corporate taxes. He also, however, wants increased regulations, and routinely uses the Marxist oppressor vs oppressed language and legislates with that in mind when it comes to so-called human rights. Trudeau is in many ways a socialist. He is to the left of the 1960s NDP. He is certainly not a liberal centrist.
