A speech

What I wish the next Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada would say as soon as they are Elected:

You've heard a lot about "social conservatives" and "fiscal conservatives" and "red tories" in the Press and from Pollsters during this Leadership Campaign. Well, I believe they're forgetting about the most important type of Conservative of all - the Freedom Conservatives. Because I believe that's what this Party you have honoured me by selecting me to lead is all about - protecting and expanding the freedom of Canadians. Today, We are all Freedom Conservatives.

We express the heritage of two Prime Ministers, one of the old Liberal Party of classical liberalism who once said,"Canada is free and freedom is its nationality!" The other of the old Progressive Conservative Party who, in introducing the first Canadian Bill of Rights to the Parliament that he and his idol, the same Liberal PM loved, said,

"I am a Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak my mind, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think is right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind."

Now that should be the pledge all of us on this party make as Conservatives, too. For it is more important than ever that we do so in this troubled time where not only our freedoms but our way of life and the Rule of Law, our Constitution are under unprecedented assault not only by interest groups, the social media and outright thugs but, I am sad to say, by our own Government.

I am here to say you all, incuding those who did not support me but also those who did not vote for our Party in the last election or may never have voted for us, that I wish to be inclusive. But, if you do not support me on the following tenets, you should vote for someone else or go home. It will be alk the same to me and the other 337 candidates on mour Team. We do not want you to support us out of convenience or boredom or tradition or even because you cannot stand the other teams.

We ant you to support us for what we stand for and because you think what we want will be better for you, your family and Canada.

If you are threatened by free markets and free enterprise, don't vote for us.

If you believe capitalism is great as long as it's politically correct and has guaranteed profits, don't vote for us.

If you are one of those people who believe that there ought to be a law to forbid every little thing that offends you, don't vote for us.

If you believe that the government is the answer and the solution for every ill we face, then please don't vote for us.

If you believe any of those things than for the love of God don't vote Bloc but please feel free to vote for one of the three other socialist parties of Canada.

On the other hand, if you support the freedom to speak without fear; the freedom to worship without penalty and the freedom to work without

hindrance, then welcome to the Conservative Party of Canada!

Come help me and my Team rid Canada of the Trudeau Gang, save our Parliament and together we'll make Freedom our National Creed again!
