Embrace The Roman Salute

Test

And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” – Matthew 12: 49, 50

Today, during a public demonstration, I gave the Roman Salute to a cenotaph in the center of my town. This gesture seems to have (unsurprisingly) “ruffled some feathers” and today we are taking the opportunity to clarify and perhaps expand on the message being sent with the ‘Roman Salute’. I do not believe this gesture was done dishonourably or against the sacrifices of those who perished in the conflicts to which the memorial pays tribute. I did this because I believe our country needs political change now more than ever before, and if the recent 43rd Federal Election is any indication, this change will not likely come democratically.

I see being upfront and direct with our stance as the best alternative to resorting to violence amongst one another. In order to proceed in good faith, it is a requirement of us to be upfront and honest with who we are and what we represent. This gesture is not a disrespectful act toward those who the cenotaph memorializes, but quite the opposite: a recognition of the sacrifice they made to defend our nation’s sovereignty. LEST WE FORGET, this is a battle which rages on this very moment! We must continue their fight. Otherwise, that which they stood for may have all been in vain. Ask yourself: if they were alive today to see the current state of affairs, what would they say?
During the demonstration, I approached the square, and stood for a while gazing upon the statue of a soldier. I inquired with it guidance on what I was about to do. The statue of the soldier asked “Is your heart true?”, to which I replied without hesitation “Yes it is”, and the statue of the soldier affirmed, stating “Then you may proceed”.

While saluting, I was also instructed to “hold”.

I asked those who were in attendance to notify me immediately if what I was doing was a dishonourable act. The individuals nearest to myself did not claim that this was dishonourable. None of the 3 persons other than myself who were in attendance came forward during the demonstration to object or notify that this gesture was dishonourable.

YES. I am aware the cenotaph memorializes those who fought against a political movement which employed a similar, albeit not identical, variation of this salute. This does not mean we need to discard our history and heritage entirely. It’s called the ‘Roman Salute’ and our ancestors from long ago who used it would have never tolerated the type of government we have lording over us today – calling for the confiscation of our firearms, publishing nothing but filth on the television, and turning a blind eye to illegal immigration.

I can understand how some may be confused or even offended at such a gesture. I would urge our fellow citizens to understand that such a gesture carries only those connotations that are ascribed to it – and for us, it is one of honour, strength, and justice. I would also ask them to consider how we should be expected to respond given that during and leading up to the recent 43rd Federal Election we were not been permitted access to the public commons in a meaningful way in order to promote our policies and compete democratically. Finally, I would implore Canadians to consider how unaccountable our federal government has become and how this is negatively affecting the lives of Canadians.

We are grateful to those who are of understanding and patience.

In no way has it ever been our intention to cause undue harm or disrepute to anyone.

The recent 43rd Federal Election has demonstrated to us (Nationalist Canadians) that, under this current government administration, our self-determination is being suppressed. The Canadian Nationalist Party was not permitted to assemble publicly and communicate electoral policies to voters after the drop of the writ. From the inception of our party (June 1st, 2017) to the conclusion of the 43rd Federal Election (October 21st, 2019), the CNP was denied ubiquitously, and not permitted on a single occasion, to utilize taxpayer-funded infrastructure (City Halls, Convention Centers, University Campuses, Libraries) to assemble and share our ideas for making our country a better place to live.

We have since filed a civil lawsuit alleging a constitutional violation – yet, this litigation is not allowed to proceed due to the current state of emergency. This is a violation of the most fundamental principles of any democracy.

The democratic channel that the Government of Canada is compelled to provide to us, is for all intents and purposes, unavailable to us.

It is now obvious that voting ourselves into prosperity is a fool’s errand. If we are waiting on a democratic reform of our country we might as well take it to our deathbed. There is simply no reason at this point to put any amount of faith in our existing, illusory “democracy”. Liberation is not on the ballot.

Instead, we are sending the signal that we must embrace an anti-democratic political narrative, and this is where the ‘Roman Salute’ comes in.

We welcome those into our political constituency who would also embrace the Roman Salute.

Activism Notice

Notice Of Intent To Seize Property: Redvers Cenotaph

Under Clause 61 of our constitional Magna Carta, which was sworn by on March 3rd, 2020, the Canadian Nationalist Party is today giving advanced notice of our intent to seize property, hereby known as the “Redvers Cenotaph”, whose rightful ownership is currently disputed.

We are understood that the last amendment of this property was performed on March 2nd, 2002, that ‘The Redvers Homemaker’s Club’ has since disbanded, and that “the care of the War Memorial was turned over to the Legion”.

Being entrusted to the care of a memorial does not imply lawful ownership of property.

Therefore, unless ‘The Redvers Homemaker’s Club’ can come forward and claim ownership of the property, it must be assumed to be part of the public commons.

We propose the following conditions:

  • Anyone who intends to use the property must give the public advanced notice and must not conflict with nor unnecessarily burden others who wish to use the space.
  • Anyone who uses the property must leave it at least as well off as they found it.
  • Honour and recognize, in good faith, the memory of the soldiers who sacrificed in defense of our national sovereignty from foreign entities as listed on the monument.

Any person(s) of the realm objecting to this notice of intent to seize property is required to come forward without delay and make known their grievances.

Parcel Number = 112535041

*Disclaimer: a previous version of this notice proposed the following condition which has since been amended for the sake of clarity: “Honour and recognize, in good faith, the memory of the soldiers who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914 – 1918 as listed on the monument.”

Activism Featured Statement

Taxation Without Representation In Canada

The Canadian Nationalist Party is today making a statement on our deprivation of self-determination under the current government administration in Canada. We are doing this because we believe Canadians have a right to know how their freedoms are being systematically eroded, how many of our federal institutions are no longer operating in good faith, and how many of our elected officials are complicit in all of this. Our experience over the last 3 years leading up to and during the recent 43rd Federal Election has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that we are currently subjected to a government who levies taxation on the population while simultaneously denying them any meaningful representation.

Over the last 3 years, our political constituency has demonstrated that the Government Of Canada is not a democracy. Under this false pretense, we do not have a vote and are being taxed without representation in our government. Under these current circumstances it is essentially impossible to elect a representative from our constituency on the ground that we are not permitted to host a public event in order to promote our policies and compete in the existing democratic system.

Put simply: because of our political beliefs (that Canada is a unique nation who deserves to uphold their sovereignty), we have been excluded from meaningful democratic representation. This treatment is unlawful, unjust, and thoroughly unconstitutional.

Since our campaign began in 2017, our organization has requested from publicly funded institutions such as City Halls, Libraries, University Campuses, and Convention Centers an opportunity to host an event. Despite making our intentions public to “be on the ballet” for the 43rd Federal Election as early as August 2017, without a single exception, we have not been permitted to host a public event. Many of our booking requests have been outright rejected or cancelled for no reason whatsoever. This exclusion of the public commons has continued after we gained official status with Elections Canada and after the drop of the writ on September 11th, 2019.

The recent 43rd Federal Election has fundamentally demonstrated that our right to self-determination, as Canadian Nationalists, is being suppressed by the current administration. Under these circumstances, our ability to assemble publicly and speak our policies to Canadian voters has, and continues to be, denied to us. Despite violating no hate speech legislation and enduring a ridiculous campaign to sabotage our registration efforts, our so-called “guaranteed” rights and freedoms are unavailable to us.

This violation of our constitutional rights includes institutions which are financed by us (the public taxpayer), yet are prohibited to us for reasons never justified. If we choose not to abide by these tax laws, we are liable to be criminally charged and incarcerated (as our supporters have been). We have supporters within our party who have spent time in prison for not paying their “fair share” of taxes, yet the government itself prohibits us from using the institutions these taxes finance to advocate for ourselves. As our reputation is defamed and our freedom is taken from us, this government administration does not even permit us to speak in our own defence.

After we aired these grievances with the necessary federal agencies, it has been alleged that no violation of our electoral procedures has occurred and no explanation has been given.

The Office of the Commissioner of Canada Elections had previously opened a formal review of a complaint filed by the Canadian Nationalist Party which claimed our rights under the Canada Elections Act and Charter Of Rights And Freedoms have been infringed and our ability to communicate policies and nominate candidates has been violated during the recent 43rd Federal Election.

Read the initial request: Canadian Nationalist Party Request – September 24th
Read the response: City Of Saskatoon Response – September 27th

This violation is only the most pronounced and fundamental example that Canada’s democratic institutions are illegitimate.

It would appear that the establishment authority in this country is not interested in diplomacy or negotiation of any sort – and they are willing to violate our constitutional “guarantees” to ensure no such luxury is made available to us.

What exactly are public servants upholding in their continued support of this administration? What exactly motivates them through their daily duties? At this point, it is clearly not a sense of honour or integrity.

We have a government which claims to be a democratic state yet all evidence points to the contrary – where is the integrity in supporting such an administration?

Here is the lie: Canada is a democratic and free country.

Here is the truth: Canada is a corporate construct whose leaders have been bought and paid for in order to uphold an illusion of democracy.

No amount of media disinformation or censorship can hide this truth. We will distrain and distress the system until redress is obtained.

There may come a day in the near future when all things without integrity are swept away into the dustbin of history, and every public servant who continued to support this current administration after these claims were made public will be asked:

“Why did you continue supporting a government who was not what it claimed to be?”

Appealing to authority will not be considered a lawful excuse.
