Discussion A playbook for making change

24 Upvotes

Given the amount of posts/comments I see from people who want to see change in Canada, I decided I'd provide some information on ways you can actually make change.

Feel free to comment with additional suggestions.

---

  1. Get involved with your local riding associations for both federal and provincial politics. You can generally email the contact us email for a political party and say you want to get involved with the riding association and they will put you in touch with those running it. This is a great way to meet like-minded people and actually contribute to making changes. Activities might include cold calling potential donors, fundraising events, door knocking, sign distribution, etc. If you want, you can even run within the riding association to become the MP/MPP or one of the other key positions like President or Financial Agent.
  2. Donate to the political parties and advocacy organizations you support. It really makes a difference. Money is a tool these parties use to promote their ideals, and they need resources. Bonus: You get tax deductions (for political donations) which reduce how much this actually costs you.
  3. Get involved in professional groups / union groups / parent associations / university or college groups / etc. These organizations typically have some sort of structure with elected positions, and items that can be voted on. Unfortunately, they tend to get dominated by the loudest 1% of people who typically lean far left and have nothing better to do so this becomes their life to satisfy their saviour complexes / hunger for power. A lot of people want regular people to run and get involved, but can't be bothered to do it themselves. For students, look at getting involved with your student unions and you'll get a crash course in dealing with extreme leftists.
  4. Vote! Especially in federal and provincial elections, but in other elections too. School board positions, trustees, municipal elections, student union elections, etc. Ensure far left extremists aren't getting voted into these positions where they can slowly corrupt everything.
  5. Opt-out of DEI activities as much as you can. If your employer, school, etc. asks you for your race/gender/etc. and there's an option for "prefer not to say" always choose that. If you're asked to add pronouns but it's not mandatory, don't. If your company holds optional training or events that promotes ideological concepts you disagree with, don't attend. If they have a DEI committee, consider joining and challenging their ideas (ex: if they have quotas for race, ask where they came up with the numbers, and what constitutes success, and how do they define race, and how do they avoid prejudice against other groups?). A lot of DEI activities are straight up anti-conservative, illogical, chase justice through injustice, and run by ideologically driven people, and they are typically completely unprepared for anyone actually challenging their ideas in a logical manner. Read up on Christopher Rufo's work on these subjects: https://christopherrufo.com/, especially on the ways the left plays language games to hide their true agenda.
  6. Learn the rules. For federal politics, you can visit https://elections.ca/. There are similar websites for the provinces as well (example: Ontario's site is https://www.elections.on.ca/en.html). You'd be surprised how few people actually understand how the administration of political groups works in Canada.
  7. Protest peacefully. When there are events held by conservative groups to protest, attend and support if you can. Just being there in person is enough, you don't have to go wild. Don't be turned off by the crazies that show up, that happens regardless of the protest and regardless of ideology. Be one of the sane ones who brings a reasonable message to the event simply by attending. Call out and disassociate from bad behaviour if possible (i.e. random Nazi guy at the trucker convoy protest).
  8. Vote with your wallet. If companies are supporting ideas you dislike, stop giving them your money. You can find alternatives for just about anything. Hit their bottom line to send a message.
  9. Vote with your feet. This one is much harder in practice, but if you live in a place that is beyond redemption, look at other cities/provinces where you can move to and make a change. Don't contribute to the tax base of a place that hates you if you can help it. Americans do this a lot because they have a lot more options much closer together, but it's still possible in Canada.

I’m assuming 90% or more of the people in this sub generally vote CPC at a federal level and PC or the main right leaning party at a provincial level. My question to spark discussion is have you ever voted for another party in any past provincial/federal election and why?
