    Open Letter to Winnipeg Belgian Club

    Belgian Club,

    On behalf of the Canadian Nationalist Party I would like to thank you for hosting our group on Saturday, July 28th. Your venue and your staff allowed our event to be a successful one. I am writing you today to clarify the developments during our event and offer a recommendation for your organization.

    As I am sure you are aware, our event encountered opposition from Antifa protesters. These protesters had the sole intention of disrupting our event at any cost. Their intentions were never to discuss our party’s political stance in a constructive manner and they appeared unwilling to establish a worthwhile channel of dialogue with us. After police removed these protesters from the venue, the event continued with a presentation on our political ideas for making Canada a better place to live. We later transitioned to another venue in Winnipeg where we concluded the evening.

    After watching the media reports of CBC, CTV, and CityNews making an absolute mockery of what exactly our group represents, we decided to upload our raw video copy of the events that occurred at your venue.

    You can watch the video here: CNP Meeting at Belgian Club – July 28th, 2018

    I believe it would be in the best interest of your organization to distance yourself from these protesters and the misguided opinions they have of the Canadian Nationalist Party.

    If I may do so, I would also like to (respectfully) ask you to consider reinstating the former employees that you had step down from their positions because of our booking. The encounters our group had with your staff were nothing but positive and, as a fellow business owner, I understand the value of good employees. It is more important to defend the interests of your employees that it is to maintain a politically-correct image with our increasingly one-sided media.

    Once you have viewed the video and consulted with your team, I would like to propose the idea of doing a follow up event for your members and the public during the month of August. During this event, our goal would be to speak on the political viewpoints of our party and promote our ongoing campaign for the upcoming 43rd federal election.

    If you were to accept our booking request for the month of August, our event would be open to the public upon ticket purchase. All proceeds for this event would go to your organization and the Royal Canadian Legion. Perhaps more valuable than anything, hosting our political party would demonstrate that the Belgian Club is an organization who is convicted in its non-partisan status and one that promotes traditional Canadian values.

    I’m confident the people of Winnipeg will be open to a political narrative other than the uninspiring status quo of the Liberal and Conservative Party.

    If you should have any further questions about this request to host an event at your venue during the month of August, you can reach me directly at +1 (888) 505 – 9956.

    Leader of the Canadian Nationalist Party

  • Update On CNP Western Canada Tour

    Update On CNP Western Canada Tour

    Over the last month, the Canadian Nationalist Party has been touring Western Canada hosting events and introducing our party to new audiences. These events have been organized to communicate our policies and ideas for making Canada a better place to live.

    Although our movement is still early, and our numbers are not great, it is encouraging to find that our message has found a dedicated audience across Western Canada. Clearly, Canadians are seeking political change and this is a desire that the existing parties do not address. The Canadian Nationalist Party will continue hosting events and networking with new audiences in Canada in order to find the grassroots support necessary to bring our party success.

    As with any new idea, the Canadian Nationalist Party has met initial skepticism and misrepresentation, and it is our responsibility to set the narrative straight.

    The members of our political party want to see a government in Canada who prioritizes the interests of majority, native-born citizens. Unfortunately, not everyone in the current political establishment has been open to this viewpoint. We have been banned from publicly funded universities, government owned convention centers, and even public squares that are open to other politically-oriented groups. All of these things have come about despite the fact that our party has not said a hateful word, caused no violence, and have violated no laws.

    Recently, our group hosted an event at the Belgian Club in Winnipeg. We would like to extend a thank you to the Belgian Club and their staff for standing strong against attempted intimidation from disruptive protestors. On Saturday, July 28th, 2018 our event was met with protestors who attended our meeting without invitation. This group had no intention of keeping an open channel of dialogue, and therefore, in accordance with our mandate we asked them to vacate the premises. When they refused, we had the police escort these protesters out of the venue. Our group then proceeded with the meeting as usual, delivered a presentation on the viewpoints of our party, and continued the discussion at an additional venue later into the evening. We consider the event a success and the antics of our protestors as a display that threatens the freedom of expression, right to assemble, and ability of third-party organizations to retain their non-partison status when hosting political parties.

    The Canadian Nationalist Party would like to thank the Winnipeg Police Department for their cordial and professional handling of the disruptive situation we experienced on July, 28th and for respecting our private booking at the Belgian Club. Although strong words were exchanged, no violence occurred at the event.

    We recently received word that the Belgian Club was asking one of their board members to resign following the events during out meeting. We believe this is a short-sighted and poorly thought out decision. The staff at the Belgian Club acted promptly to remove the protesters who were disrupting our event and disrespecting the traditions of the venue. One such protester, refused to remove his face-veil when asked to do so. Other protesters refused to leave when asked to do so. Lest we forget, it is a sign of disrespect when a guest refuses to remove their face-veil inside a hall dedicated to the sacrifices our veterans have made in the name of Canadians rights and freedoms. Fitting then, that this very group intends to disrupt and disrespect these traditions with the actions they displayed on this day.

    It is encouraging to see that the Belgian Club employs members of the community who still respect Canadian traditions and do not weaken when challenged with attempted intimidation from Antifa groups. The Canadian Nationalist Party recommends that any such board member’s employment be reinstated and an apology issued to the staff who behaved with professionalism and hospitality.

    Furthermore, the Canadian Nationalist Party believes that the local media coverage of the event can be considered defamatory in nature and will be exploring legal avenues in order to protect the reputation of our organization for making false written and oral statements about our organization. In addition, we intend to file a complaint with the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council against media outlets local to Winnipeg.

    Thank you to our hosts, our sponsors, and our members for making this most recent Western Canada Tour a success. The Canadian Nationalist Party will continue developing its offering in order to ensure that native-born Canadians have a political platform they can use to make constructive change in our country.

  • Open Letter to Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark

    Open Letter to Saskatoon Mayor Charlie Clark

    Mayor Clark,

    I am writing you today with a matter I believe to be most urgent to the people of Saskatoon, the people of Saskatchewan, and the people of Canada as a whole. It is a matter which many seem too afraid to speak out about – yet it has dire implications if we do not garner the strength to overcome it.

    Over the course of the last year, I have been working on registering a new political party entitled the Canadian Nationalist Party. I have begun this campaign because I believe, if left to the leadership of the current Conservative and Liberal Parties, this beautiful country we call home will never be the same. I cannot bear to witness this happen while waiting with inaction. Therefore, I have made the intention to become more politically active and this party is a manifestation of such.

    Unfortunately, not everyone in the current political establishment has been open to this viewpoint. We have been banned from publicly funded universities, government owned convention centers, and most recently the civic square infront of your city hall. All of these things have come about despite the fact that our party has not said a hateful word, caused no violence, and have violated no laws.

    On Friday, June 29th the Canadian Nationalist Party was denied a permit to demonstrate using civic square by the City of Saskatoon. The denial came in response to a request made on June 20th by our leadership team. Your city council viewed the application as an activity which it considered “denominational”.

    You can read the full statement here: Civic Square Booking – Canadian Nationalist Party

    The day I received this response from your council, I made the trip down to civic square to examine the property myself. The scenery, the flagpoles, and the stone podium, all came together in a manner which seemed magical. I could not help but think to myself that the people who built this public space did so for the very reason we are now requesting: to speak out against the current injustices bestowed upon Canadians. The monument on this property, I read, was dedicated to those who have fought to protect our rights and freedoms during the world wars. Yet, these same freedoms now seem to be in jeopardy.

    I believe this decision to be not only a violation of our charter rights, but (considering we are in the process of registering federally with Elections Canada) a breach of the Canada Elections Act. Therefore, we intend to challenge this decision.

    We are a group of law abiding citizens who believe that Canadians are a unique people with a unique heritage who have unique interests and we will no longer tolerate being plundered by rootless international interests.

    No pain is greater than seeing my beloved country be destroyed by the evil that has infiltrated Ottawa.

    Therefore, I will speak out against political censorship in this country – permit or not.

    Travis Patron
    Leader of the Canadian Nationalist Party

  • City of Saskatoon Denies CNP Public Permit

    City of Saskatoon Denies CNP Public Permit

    On Friday, June 29th the Canadian Nationalist Party was denied a permit to demonstrate on public property by the City of Saskatoon. The denial came in response to a request made on June 20th by the leadership team of the Canadian Nationalist Party.

    In a statement issued Friday morning, the City of Saskatoon claimed the request was in violation of their usage policy of City Hall premises. Further, that the City of Saskatoon viewed the application as an activity which is considered “denominational” and would suggest “identifying an alternative location”.

    denominational: a religious organization whose congregations are united in their adherence to its beliefs and practices.

    The Canadian Nationalist Party believes this is a violation of basic civil rights and intends to challenge this decision through the necessary legal channels.
