Our Spirit

It is Canada's biggest strength that it can build one people out of many backgrounds. We stand for all individual freedoms that do not infringe on others' freedoms

At the heart of our beliefs is a firm commitment to the golden rule of ethics:

Whether secular or religious, all successful systems of ethics hold that rule on some level.

In Canada we want to have our laws be backed by the golden rule above. If any group would not like a certain set of restrictions applied to them, we encourage them to not advocate restricting others.

The Freedoms

Religion: The right to respectfully believe, practice, and preach their religion whatever it may be however they see fit. As long as all other groups are treated with a basic level of respect, we have no issues with people promoting their values. For example:

• An athiest can reject all religions as human fabrications and still treat religious people respectfully

• A religious person can consider LGBTQ+ people immoral and still treat them respectfully

Culture: The right to express, celebrate, and share their cultural practices and values whatever they may be however they see fit, as long as others are treated with respect. Of note is that we hold a nuanced position on cultural appropriation:

• Not appropriation:

  • Enjoying the aesthetics or style of a culture that isn't your own and adopting it

  • Gaining inspiration from other cultures and mixing them with yours to create something new

• Is appropriation:

  • Adopting a different culture's aesthetics or style and pretending it was a creation of your culture or your unique idea

  • Immitating or incorporating elements from other cultures as a way to mock/stereotype them

Sexuality and Gender identity: The right to pursue relationships and express their sexuality/gender whatever it may be however they see fit. This naturally includes that LQBTQ+ people receive the same rights and treatments that straight and binary people receive

• E.g. civil marriages, work, expressing their affection publicly, etc

• The same applies to what is considered unacceptable for straight and binary people

Trans rights has become the center of woke vs anti woke debates so it has its own page here (not added yet)

Our policies will be in line with our values above.

1- Maintain Canada's culture of inclusion across:

2- Ignore all the culture war BS and its pettiness and focus on Canada's real problems

3- Promote Canadian culture instead of restricting what is allowed to be Canadian
