925 – The Majority Rule: The majority is never Right

Earlier in democracy’s history, its operative principle was not considered to be ‘majority rule,’ but instead, ‘majority government.’ This expressed the idea that only those who had reached the ‘age of majority’ should be eligible to vote and participate in government. It was an age at which a person became a self-responsible adult, capable of exercising informed consent, and otherwise could be held responsible for his/ her actions.

In a free democracy, no one ‘rules’ anyone else. But in a democracy based on ‘majority rule,’ that principle no longer holds true.

The Left views ‘democracy’ as a system of ‘majority rule’ under which the winning group is given the legal authority to rule over other groups and individuals, all justified on the grounds of having achieved some kind of ‘majority.’

The Right views democracy as a system of governance in which no one can ‘vote’ to infringe upon anyone else’s right to Life Liberty and Property. Voting is restricted to matters of governance (justice, military, police, etc.) outside of the private sphere of activity. This would constitute majority government as opposed to majority rule.

922 – Third Party politics: Two’s company, Three’s a democracy

In the wake of Elon Musk’s recent formation of a ‘third’ political party in America – the America Party – many on the Right have viewed this development as a direct threat to Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, while others view it as a potential opportunity for the MAGA movement.

Though there are many more than three political parties in America, it is interesting to note that they are all referred to as ‘third parties.’ Indeed, the very term ‘third party politics’ is both illusionary and ironic, given that it is based on an unspoken acknowledgement that such parties exist within an accepted binary framework of a two party polarity.

But given that the two party electoral option is now being recognized as a single ‘uniparty’ non-option, another controversy has arisen. Some are now arguing that political parties no longer serve a useful function at all, while others maintain that political parties are an essential part of any democratic process.

To complicate matters further, within the second group there is a further division over whether there should only be two parties in opposition to each other, or whether multiple ‘third’ parties have a place in the democratic process. Continue reading »

909 – Canada’s Carney Crisis—manipulating the Right

Perhaps Canada’s biggest political parlor trick of all occurred with the Liberal Party’s appointment of Mark Carney as its leader going into the snap election to be held on April 28. With that move, win or lose, the Liberal Party definitely cut its losses from whatever else might have been expected under Trudeau against a growing Conservative support.

To most on the Right, Carney is seen as being utterly toxic to Canada and while this is undoubtedly true, Carney has recaptured the votes of many disillusioned-by-Trudeau Liberal supporters. Simultaneously, his ‘toxic’ presence has also succeeded in once again persuading relatively principled voters on the Right to abandon their own professed principles.

Nowhere is this better illustrated than with those struggling with the choice of voting for Pierre Poilievre (CPC) or Maxime Bernier (PPC). By voting for Bernier they believe they are ‘wasting their vote’ in the effort to counter Carney, but by voting for Poilievre, they know they are voting for the ‘lesser evil’ between the two leading electoral contenders. And that’s exactly what most do.

Why do they do this? – in order to deal with a ‘crisis’ – the one manufactured by their opponents on the Left. It’s a political parlor trick, and until those on the Right quit falling for it, our political journey will continue to be one headed Leftward, towards the tyranny so idealized by the Left.

905 – The PPC vs the PPC—the People’s Party of Canada versus the People Problem in Canada

In this 2025 Canadian election, Maxime Bernier and the People’s Party of Canada have been entirely ‘Left’ out of the picture by the media. What’s surprising is that there are a significant number of people on the ‘Right’ who would also like to see Bernier left out of the picture. Most call themselves ‘conservatives.’

Apparently, Bernier and the PPC represent some kind of threat to both groups.

Suffering from political derangement syndromes like the myths of ‘splitting the vote,’ or the ‘wasted vote’ delusion, this latter group of voters who see themselves on the Right comprise a major part of what can best be termed as the ‘People Problem in Canada.’

Steeped in sheer ignorance, this group can best be seen as NPCs, ‘non-player-characters’, the mindless zombies who are reacting to a false stimulus (like a fear of Mark Carney), instead of acting on reason or principle. Continue reading »

902 – Speaking his own mind—for the People’s Party of Canada | Peyman Askari

Fresh on the heels of Ontario’s hit-and-run provincial election, Canadians are now preparing for a federal election in which the major contenders are expected to be the Liberal Party’s Mark Carney and the Conservative Party’s Pierre Poilievre.

Both support Canada’s involvement in the Ukraine war, the ideology of climate change, and getting into a trade war with America. Each party supported the recent mandatory Covid lockdowns and injections; each party continues to support various trade restrictions and monopolies within the country. And so much more.

So where can Canadian voters turn for a political option that does not force them to fund and support these unconscionable and irrational policies? In Canada there is one clear choice: the People’s Party of Canada, which under the leadership of Maxime Bernier and his army of PPC candidates, is bringing that choice to ridings across Canada.

One such candidate is our guest Peyman Askari, whose personal journey from what he calls a “Leftist cult” eventually steered him towards the People’s Party of Canada. In sharing his story, Peyman speaks freely about his own observations regarding the state of politics in Canada.

Though low in the polls during its early history, a new political party like the PPC must stand at the ready, says Peyman. It must “always be on the starting line… to take advantage of unpredictable white swan events.”

On the contentious matter of becoming a 51st state, Peyman suggests that this would not be a good idea for Canada: “We have to get there on our own.”

As a 51st state, Canadians would be spared the effort of gaining any new found freedoms, and so would never value their freedom in the same way that those who fought for freedom do. As an entitlement, freedom is little appreciated. As a value, freedom is cherished and becomes the defining point of a nation’s culture.

That’s why for Canadians, ‘earning’ their freedom is how to do it in a way that is Just Right.

Peyman Askari—The slow drip of tyranny

A distinctive feature of the People’s Party of Canada is the freedom its leader, Maxime Bernier, grants his candidates to express themselves. Unlike other federal Canadian parties, which tightly control their candidates by prohibiting press interactions and, in some cases, even barring participation in all-candidates debates out of fear of missteps that could embarrass the party or its leader, Bernier takes a different approach. He encourages his candidates to openly share their personal views in public forums, trusting them to address issues important to Canadians with honesty and authenticity.

Joining Robert Vaughan is PPC candidate Peyman Askari, who not only speaks candidly about topics that interest him but also actively engages with fellow Canadians on matters they care about most. Through his video platform, “In Lay Terms,” he has produced 160 discussions to date. Peyman represents the PPC in the riding of West Vancouver–Sunshine Coast–Sea to Sky Country.

In a discussion that transcends its provincial boundaries, Freedom Party of Ontario leader Paul McKeever once again joins us to discuss some uncomfortable truths about voters and the democratic process itself.

“It’s a dark time in Ontario,” says Paul, in anticipation of a new round of ’emergency’ declarations following Ontario’s February 27 snap election, both on the provincial and federal levels. But never has there been such a glaringly anti-democratic Ontario election as the current hit-and-run election driven by a Ford: Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario.

In Ontario, the electoral process has become entirely corrupt. Early voting is both permitted and encouraged even before nominations are closed and candidates have been selected. Ford has demonstrated that general elections can be called on a whim, in contravention of the Election Statute Law Amendment Act, 2004. Elections Ontario, which administers Ontario elections and regulates officially-registered political parties, has in the past refused to place a fully-qualified and nominated Freedom Party candidate on the ballot in his riding. Again, rules don’t matter.

Our review of election feedback received by Freedom Party since the dropping of the writ on January 29 demonstrates that most voters, lobby groups, and the media are completely disconnected from any issues relevant to Ontario provincial politics. Even Doug Ford, in threatening to restrict trade and impose tariffs on America, is oblivious to the fact that such actions are not open to him given that they fall exclusively within federal jurisdiction.
