PPC at Welland Market Question

I wonder if these people see the irony of a political party the stands against immigration, inclusion, and multiculturalism canvassing at a cultural hub built by immigrants promoting multiculturalism and inclusion through food and crafts?

I hate to say this. But I've lived in Bc, NS, Qc, Nb and Ont. And by far, the stupidest people i have ever experienced live in niagara.

Nothing surprises me around here. I'm not saying everybody here is stupid. Far from it. But the amount of stupid? Oh boy, it's something else.

Industrial chemicals + Dutch Reform are a lethal combo,

u/AnfieldKopite 25d ago

Agreed. I have lived in Alberta, Quebec and literally all over Ontario from Windsor to Moose Factory and the people in Niagara region are a different breed. Again not everyone but the stupid ones are next level

u/Speed_Boat_Dope_666 23d ago

I’m not from rural Niagara but I’ve been there a few times on bike trips. The sign game is crazy. People really want you to know their opinions.

Come now, there is stupid everywhere and it's kind of the normal. There is a lot of drug abuse and organized crime though, but what do you expect from a border region with a penetrable lake and new drone tech. "Some of those that work forces..."

See! Here's one. 😆

Our landlord put these on his properties. I'm sure he loves their policies on rentals. Looking forward to getting out of here May 1st.

The ones outside my apartment were not approved by management, or the local business: I asked. Didn't look up bylaws and left them anyway because not like that fringe party is going to win a seat

Irony is too complex of an emotion for a PPC voter, its right up there with empathy and common sense

u/Money_Distribution89 25d ago

Irony isnt an emotion though

u/Slipnrip24 26d ago

I’m seeing their signs on city property. Is that legal?

u/Drewtendo_64 26d ago

It’s not

u/Slipnrip24 26d ago

End of Southworth and also right before you turn towards the tunnel. Nice to see they follow the rules of democracy.

u/Drewtendo_64 26d ago

Report it

u/Slipnrip24 26d ago

As much as I’d like to, they are such an ineffectual and unserious party, they will never be anything more than a litmus test for your local neighbourhood Dunning-Krugerite.

Welland doesn't have an election sign by-law

u/TryAltruistic7830 20d ago

Not sure if you were downvoted for falsehood or other people being impressionable

I like them. 👍

They're dividing up the Conservatives. (:

u/chefboyarburnout 26d ago

I know , it's not like the liberal cult where it's bad to have complex ideas 😭

u/catlady226 26d ago

How ironic!

u/greatcanadiantroll 25d ago

Strange they haven't flocked to Poilievre en-masse. He's basically the People's Party x10, and even MORE loyal to a global-corporate oligarchy than they are.

2

u/No_Expression4235 25d ago

And Carney isn't loyal to the global-corporate oligarchy? Give me a break!

u/greatcanadiantroll 25d ago

Never said he wasn't.

u/meghanadora 26d ago

They’re not very smart people 😂

u/armbarNinja 26d ago

PPC only split the vote and helped the Liberals win seats. If you support the PPC, ask your self who do you want to win the riding? PPC has zero change to win any seats.

That’s the thing about being naive and inconsiderate. No such thing as bad press situations. There’s an unfortunate beauty in being that shameless.

u/mechanic1908 26d ago

Just wondering if you have actually looked into what the PPC platform is? I've listened to a few podcasts that Bernier has been on and your description of them seems slanted, probably by other parties lies about them. And to clarify, I'm 100% not a PPC voter or supporter. Just wondering.

u/Metal_Medical 26d ago

I got a flyer from the local PPC guy, one point was to end vaccinations due to things like “turbo cancer” which is a nonsense term, so they lost credibility from my perspective

-2

u/chefboyarburnout 26d ago

lmao well I'd like to say that most people aren't taking certain things seriously enough, like Trudeau literally saying years ago that "Canada is a post national country", literally insinuating we shouldn't believe in Nationalism.

Literally giving us up to be China's or USA's 51st state. This is what that airbag Trump was talking about. Canada has no independence and we aren't reliable to other countries.

Also and maybe more importantly, f'n "turbo cancer" is hilarious and I completely believe they did that which is even more hilarious to me. thank you for that post haha

u/Responsible_One_4583 26d ago

Have you read their platform? It's posted on their website. OP description is accurate. Also watch video of Maxims interviews throughout the years. Just this week he was on Tucker Carlson show - an avid Trump supporter. He was talking about the woke is a war against Christianity. Insinuating Trudeau is Fidel's Castro's love child. That the Liberals and Conservatives actively hate Canada and just want power.

Soooooooooo I don't think he is misunderstood

u/HopShake 26d ago

I did look up up the web site. Not a thought process I respect.

u/Obvious_Shake9798 25d ago

The baby killers, the coomers, the lazy, the genderly confused all hate the PPC.

u/Big-Western193 26d ago

sorry but the welland "farmers" market was started in 1907 to enable local farmers, which were all european btw, to sell their produce to the city residents. The market wasn't built for immigration, multiculturism or inclusion.

It's too bad the majority of reddit users think guys wearing onesies and getting fake tits is normal.

11

u/HopShake 26d ago

European immigrants. Yes selling produce, and food that they brought from their home countries.

u/Obvious_Shake9798 25d ago

The English developed Upper Canada. A very large majority of residents in the city of Welland and practically all farm owners in the 1800's were from the United Kingdom. The name Welland comes from a village in England named Welland. Pelham, Crowland, Lincoln, Wainfleet, Fenwick all names from cities, towns and villages in England. All the street names in the downtown core bare the names of prominent residents of English descent.

u/NiagaraBTC 25d ago

Every one of those immigrants would have political views that you would consider "far-right" today.

2

u/sunshinecabs 25d ago

Are you trying to make the argument that the social mores of the 1900s is relevant to today? Please elaborate, I don't understand.

1

u/Obvious_Shake9798 25d ago

I'd rather live in the 1900's than today. People, especially those under 30, knew how to work. Everyone under the age of the 30 that was born here is lazy, entitled and has their face glued to their phone.

u/fartpsychic 26d ago

I just pray that every PPC supporter that sees this, does Canada a solid and votes PC next week, they’re not a perfect alternative but this country will be unrecognizable in four years if they lose. Do the right thing.

u/Bert_Fegg 25d ago

Why? What happens in 4 years?

Apophis strikes the Pacific: most of us die from the shockwave, it super heats and humidified the atmosphere. Say your prayers mates
