A Maxime Bernier rally should begin with the national anthem, and no one’s shy about singing the original lyrics.
They enunciate them clearly: “In all our sons command.”
Some hold their hands on their hearts. One man raises his in the air. Lionel Fauchon dutiful removes his People’s Party of Canada ball cap and stands at attention, his pants supported by a pair of camouflage suspenders. It’s Tuesday just after noon, and more than 50 supporters are united in song at the steps of the Saskatchewan Legislative Building.
Fauchon voted for Andrew Scheer to become Conservative leader two years ago. But he was put off by how he buckled to “13,000 French Quebecer cow milkers” over supply management.
He wants principle, not pragmatism. And his principles are decidedly to the right.
“Immigration’s a big one. They’re going to weed out the bad Islam,” he says of the PPC, later clarifying that he was referring to ISIS and “the extremists.”
“The open borders, it’s a disaster for Canada,” he adds.
Fauchon believes he’s found the right man for him in Bernier, who was in Regina on Tuesday as part of a two-day Saskatchewan tour. Bernier stands for cutting immigration, ending supply management and backing out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

If only Canada had one conservative leaning media outlet like America has with FOX. They are ALL in the tank for the progressive left. Maxime has got a hill that is simply too big to climb alone. He and Custer at the Little Big Horn have something much in common. An enemy with impossible tactical and numerical advantage. Canadians are simply not that engaged when it comes to the future of the country bestowed on them by their forefathers. Those would be the generations that paid a high price for the country they received in return. That includes the legal immigrants who came here through the front door and became Canadians, no hyphen. They too paid a heavy price, and it paid off for them and ‘their’ new adopted country. Today’s generation(s) numerically controlling the votes have not had to pay anything, ever. It’s a simple fact of human nature. Which do you appreciate more, something you have to pay for or something you are given? Give them their iphones, Facebook and tons of free stuff or promises or more to come and they are all in. And therein lies the obituary of our nation. Trudeau’s re-election come October will send it to print.
To add to that dereliction Harper messed up big time when despite his majority he chickened out on passing a death sentence on one of the Liberal Party of Canada’s biggest weapons, the CBC.
