Under the \ncurrent conditions bestowed upon us, this is essentially impossible, as \nour ability to assemble publicly and communicate our policies as a \nfederal party has been prohibited to us before and during general \nelections. Therefore, we will not acknowledge the authority of the \nFederal\/Provincial\/Municipal Governments involved given that they have \nviolated these constitutional rights as well as suppressed our \nself-determination as a unique nationality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we began our campaign in 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalist.ca\/?p=11740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our candidates have been physically attacked<\/a>, have faced a concerted attempt to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/politics\/canadian-nationalist-party-public-shaming-1.5263497\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sabotage our efforts to attain federal registration as a political party<\/a>,\n a systemic effort to censor our ability to communicate policies to the \nvoting public, and a coordinated effort to tarnish our reputation from a\n number of media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our supporters have been called into the offices of their workplace \nand school, questioned on why they support our movement, and in some \ncases, have been dismissed from employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been falsely accused of violating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/rcmp-hate-elections-canada-canadian-nationalist-party-1.5193358\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hate speech legislation<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/politics\/rcmp-nationalist-party-1.5198409\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trademark infringement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public institutions such as City Halls, University Campuses, Public \nLibraries, and Convention Centers which operate from our tax dollars \nhave been prohibited to us (since 2017) for reasons never justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees \nthe rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable \nlimits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and \ndemocratic society.<\/p><p>Fundamental Freedoms:<br>\n2.

These operating grants are enabled by the \ntax codes we as citizens abide by. Canadian citizens abide by tax laws \nbecause we trust that these institutions, which we fund, will be made \navailable to us when we wish to assemble and express ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This desire to utilize public resources and exercise our \nconstitutional rights has been violated consistently and without reason,\n including&nbsp;<strong>after the drop of the writ during the&nbsp;<em>43rd Federal Election<\/em>&nbsp;as we were actively nominating candidates<\/strong>.\n The exclusion of our political party from public spaces and prohibition\n from booking publicly-funded venues has directly affected our ability \nto both nominate candidates and inform the public of our policies. Even \ntoday, we consistently come across Canadians who have never heard of our\n party. We believe this ignorance of us as a viable political option \nwould be less pronounced if we were able to access the same democratic \nchannels as other political parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<em>City Of Saskatoon<\/em> has consistently denied us a permit to\n assemble despite the fact they have granted one to competing political \nparties in between our requests for access. The stated reason of denial \nhas been that our organization is \u2018denominational\u2019 in nature, something \nwe find baseless because the City Of Saskatoon regularly allows \nethno-religious groups to use the same space. Our organization does not \nexplicitly endorsing any particular religious orientation. We are not a \ndenominational group. At least once we were denied a permit after the \nwrit had dropped for the 43rd Federal Election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Ontario Provincial Government mandated free speech at universities,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/canada\/article-only-one-event-cancelled-for-safety-concerns-after-ontario\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">only 1 event was not allowed to go ahead:&nbsp;<em>ours<\/em><\/a>. It seems the idea that Canada is a unique nation is an idea&nbsp;<em>too dangerous<\/em>&nbsp;for\n the public to handle. The University Of Toronto claims the ideology of \nCanadian nationalism poses a \u201csignificant safety risk to their \nstudents\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Toronto Public Library refuses to grant us space on the grounds \nthat advocating \u201cmaintaining our European-descended demographic \nmajority\u201d is discriminatory and therefore unacceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the Toronto Metro Convention Center &amp; TCU Place cannot \nhonour our booking request due to concerns that our opposition might \nvandalize their property. These are issues outside our control, but our \ntax revenues do indeed go towards funding law enforcement that is tasked\n with keeping the peace at such events. When even basic services such as\n constitutional rights and protection on behalf of law enforcement are \nnot permitted, the financial return on our tax dollars is non-existent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of the venues which we request space from justify denying us\n access by referencing \u201cmedia reports\u201d which negatively portray our \nparty. One such example is a recent event we held in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitchute.com\/video\/AFtabe6aqGEe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Winnipeg at the Belgian Club<\/a>\n where local media presented a blatantly one-sided narrative of the \nevent and the masked hooligans who attempted to disrupt it. These \u201cmedia\n reports\u201d cannot be used as grounds to disenfranchise federal parties \nfrom campaigning, as they lack any accurate or balanced reporting of our\n activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To date, our constituency has violated no hate speech legislation and\n initiated no violence. Yet, from the very outset of this campaign in \nearly 2017 to the end of the 43rd Federal Election we have experienced \nsystemic discrimination on the basis of nothing more than our political \nstance of Canadian nationalism. This denial of the Canadian Nationalist \nParty, a federally-sanctioned political party, to receive \npublicly-funded services demonstrates that our government is engaging in\n <strong>taxation without representation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The message to us is clear: the current government in Canada is \nopposed to the nationhood of our country and does not support the \nconstitutional rights of a federal political party to assemble on public\n property and communicate their policies to Canadian voters. This is a \npolitical ideology that resonates with millions of citizens, yet our \ngovernment continues to deny our requests for public permits. It seems \nin Canada, we have (quite literally) <strong>no rights to speak of<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of transgressions are intolerable to us and paint the \npicture of a democratic channel that is made available only to political\n narratives which support the \u201cpost-national\u201d dictatorship our current \nPrime Minister has vocally endorsed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the injustices and complete lack of self-determination afforded to\n us by the current government administration is not corrected, our very \nlivelihood will suffer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We encourage supporters of our party to join us in non-compliance. We\n have no interest nor obligation to obey an authority so brutish it \ncollects tax revenues from the populace while simultaneously violating \ntheir constitutional rights. Not permitting a federal party to assemble \npublicly and communicate its policies to voters only demonstrates that <strong>our democracy in its current state is an illusion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the Canadian Government prohibits a federal political party from \nexercising their ability to assemble and speak then it only follows that\n that federal party prohibit the Canadian Government from speaking on \nits behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\nTravis Patron<br>\nLeader of the Canadian Nationalist Party<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent 43rd Federal Election has fundamentally demonstrated that our right to self-determination, as Canadian Nationalists, is being suppressed by the current administration.
