Leadership Contest

leadership contest means a competition for the selection of the leader of a registered party.

Section 2, Canada Elections Act

It has been said that nothing exists in a vacuum and my leadership with the Canadian Nationalist Party is no exception.

In order to remain viable, it must be contestable. It is not my intention to be a self-appointed dictator of the party.

For this reason, I am hereby announcing that the Canadian Nationalist Party will commence a leadership contest at the conclusion of this 45th Federal Election (April 28th) in order to determine the question of party leadership. The contest will conclude when the Governor General of Canada issues the writ commencing the 46th Federal Election or the contest is concluded according to its rules of procedure (whichever comes first).

What this means is that any naturalized citizen may stand for nomination to become the new leader of the Canadian Nationalist Party.

I am making this decision because in order to remain fair, the position of party leader must be potentially available to any naturalized Canadian.

Although Elections Canada claims that our party is no longer registered, I maintain that our party was de-registered in violation of Canadian law. Therefore, the leadership contest will be conducted internally in accordance with the Canada Elections Act.

Notice of Leadership Contest
If a registered party proposes to hold a leadership contest, the party’s chief agent shall file with the Chief Electoral Officer a statement setting out the dates on which the leadership contest is to begin and end.

– Section 478.1(1), Canada Elections Act

The terms of the contest are such that a new leader ought not to be determined by way of popular vote (every individual casting a ballot of equal weight). This is so because I don’t believe ballot casting to be the “nationalistic way”. The opinion of some simply carries more weight than others. Certain people should be able to influence their government to a greater degree than others. Indeed, when democracy consists of every divergent motive casting an equal say in the function of their government, it becomes stagnant, and the people whom democracy is meant to serve, are neglected.

The strongest and most intelligent have a divine right to rule. Therefore, our leadership contest will not be a display of ballot casting, but one of Canadian trivia.

Yes, the leader of the party must demonstrate they have the best working knowledge as it relates to Canadian society, history, and government.

This contest of trivia will be administered by an impartial panel of questioners and judges.

For each question answered correctly, a contestant will earn 1 point, and these points will continue accumulating for the duration of the contest. Each trivia session will feature 10 questions posed to the contestants. Trivia sessions will be held on a periodic (monthly) basis until the conclusion of the contest (whenever the 46th Federal Election is called). If no writ is issued by the Governor General, the contest will continue until one contestant accumulates 30 points more than any other contestant.

If a new leader were chosen using this method, many aspects of the party would be subject to change. However, in outlining the parameters of this leadership contest, there are 3 things that I ask not to be changed by any party leader:

  1. The party name ‘Canadian Nationalist Party’.
  2. The party website domain name ‘www.nationalist.ca‘.
  3. The party logo/symbol:
Medicinal Sun Wheel, Official Symbol of the Canadian Nationalist Party

I also reserve my right to compete in any such leadership contest myself. For now, I remain the incumbent leader.

Membership eligibility will continue to be open to naturalized Canadians only.

If you are someone who is interested in contesting leadership, you may apply by email (info@travispatron.ca) with subject line ‘Leadership Contest’.

A person may participate in this leadership contest at any point prior to its conclusion. However, in order to apply, the contestant must provide personal identification.

In order to facilitate this contest, the Canadian Nationalist Party reserves the right to peaceful public assembly in accordance with section 2(c) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Note: the contest original stated it would be concluded when one contestant accumulated 50 points more than any other contestant. This target has been reduced to 30 points more than any other contestant.

No Same-Sex Marriage

The institution of marriage is the cornerstone of civilization.

Without a clear picture of what marriage represents, we cannot maintain our standard of living because the lawful couple (man/woman) is the fundamental political unit of our nation. Without a healthy body politic (comprised of heterosexual couples), our standard of living cannot be maintained. For the sake of our future generations, we must protect and define exactly what this institution represents.

As the scriptures indicate, man and woman become one flesh in marriage:

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.”

– Genesis 2:24

However, that union has the potential to transcend the merely physical. Indeed, it must in order to survive. If there is no spiritual union, there can be no physical union (as above, so below).

In a world where most try to make true what they love, we must love what is already true: God’s law of duality.

Just as yin and yang were made as complementary counterparts of one another, so too are man and women contrasting expressions of human sexuality.

Opposites attract, and when they they find unity with the Most High, merge in marriage.

A government administration should not award marriage between those who are of the same gender because they are biologically incapable of reproducing (which is the essential purpose of marriage).

“No man is to have sexual relations with another man; God despises it.”

– Leviticus 18:19

Memoriam Eorum Retinebimus

The Royal Canadian Legion is a public house subject to the right of candidates running in the ongoing 45th Federal Election to make reasonable use of the premises in order to promote Canadian nationalism:

Right of Candidates to Campaign in Public Places

No person who is in control of a building, any part of which is open without charge to members of the public, whether on a continuous, periodic or occasional basis – including any commercial, business, cultural, historic, educational, religious, governmental, entertainment or recreational place – may prevent a candidate from campaigning in that part when it is open without charge to members of the public.

– Section 81.1(1), Canada Elections Act

The purpose of the Royal Canadian Legion is to promote the ideology of Canadian nationalism.

RCL Branch #293 in Redvers is no exception to this rule. When the writ is in force, election candidates are entitled to make reasonable use of the space.

Provincial Public Works and Property to be Property of Canada
“Custom Houses, Post Offices, and all other public buildings, except such as the Government of Canada sees appropriate for the use of the provincial legislatures and governments.”

– Third Schedule(8), British North America Act (1867)

The Canada Elections Act sets out the rights of candidates and their representatives to canvass and campaign in public places.

A person gains the rights of a candidate to canvass and campaign in certain locations under section 81 and 81.1 when their nomination is confirmed by the local returning officer.

After election day (April 28th), the rights pursuant the Canada Elections Act empowering candidates to the use of public places for campaigning expires. This is not to say that a political entity loses the right to use public property for campaign purposes, only that the provisions contained in the Canada Elections Act cease to apply after April 28th.

A person who claims to be in control of a public building must identify themselves if they are invoking an exception to deny candidates and their representatives the right to campaign there.

A wide variety of locations that are open free of charge to the public, even if privately owned, qualify as public places.

When deciding whether to invoke an exception to the right of access for canvassing or campaigning, the person in control of the premises should interpret the candidate’s right broadly in light of the democratic principles at stake and must treat all candidates equitably.

The person in control of a premises may be committing an offense if their decision to deny access is not based on an applicable exception.

Every person in control of premises who refuses to give access to a building open to the public when an exception does not apply is guilty of an offense.

Election Offenses requiring intent — summary conviction

Every person who contravenes subsection 81.1(1) (refusal to give access to place open to the public) is guilty of an offense.

– Section 486(2), Canada Elections Act

As it now stands, there exists no reason to exclude myself or members of the Canadian Nationalist Party from making use of Redvers Legion Branch #293 for electoral purposes. Neither does there exist reason to exclude us from any branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

The reason many of these Legion branches are on the brink of insolvency is because they are managed by people who do not represent the values held dear by Canadians.

For the sake of our national heritage, it may be time for a changing of the guard at the Royal Canadian Legion …
