A new party in Canada 

In Canada, as in other parts of the world, we're experiencing the new fascist wave which disapproves of multiculturalism, immigrants, refugees and globalism. This concerns me as a person of color. It appears this new people's party will focus on Canadian "values,"(as if they are different from the intrinsic values of most human beings on the planet). This values crap, in my opinion, is a cover for fear and a dislike, even hate of other racial, religious and cultural groups. Likely a fear of having to forego power and privilege which will, admittedly, take a big bit out of white dominance and force us all to compete for resources. I agree, scary stuff, but it's inevitable as white people realize they are the minority on the planet of 7.5 billion people and over 5 billion are people of color who will no longer submit to Eurocentric rule or stay put.

People must think carefully, not emotionally. Can we figure out a new, all encompassing ideology for our country and ways for all of us to transition into it? Many Canadians say they feel disenfranchised, but here's a chance to engage and create new ideas instead of looking to the past where the norms no longer apply.

So what would electing the people's party mean for the prosperity and sustainability of a huge country like Canada with currently only 36 million people, roughly the population of California? Will those feeling threatened by change participate in this new party or will they let the leader of the party rule with impunity as Republicans are doing down below?

It sure looks like all the phobias and isms are gathering under one umbrella. How could that be a good thing for this country?
