The Atlantica Party’s Position on Identity Politics

In order to have a functional democracy in which every person has a voice and in which the ideas that are generated by citizens are given serious consideration by political leaders, it is important that conversations take place in a context in which only the merit of the ideas that people raise are discussed, as opposed to the worth of the ideas being prejudged based on the characteristics of the person who is voicing their views. For example, a core principle in Canada – and one to which the Atlantica Party adheres – is that the worth of an idea is dependent only on the value of the idea itself as opposed to that same idea being better if a man voices it than if a woman voices it or the other way around. In other words, the Atlantica Party is opposed to prejudice and instead believes in common humanity politics instead of identity politics – a topic that has worked its way from the fringes of academia into all parts of our society and is now covered as fact in the public education system, often without parents’ knowledge or consent.

Bill 4 Strips People of Their Property Rights Part 2

On March 11, 2021, the Nova Scotia government introduced Bill 4 to remove most of the rights and freedoms of Nova Scotia landowners.  Nova Scotia landowners take pride in their properties and, in as much as reasonably possible, do what is necessary to keep their woodlands and grasslands healthy, along with suitable water (lakes, brooks, streams, etc.) for both the health of the land itself and the occupying wildlife. As owners, they have a vested interest in taking care to be good stewards of the land; nobody else, including the government, cares as much about the land as owners.

The End of Nova Scotia's Legislature? Part 2

The great malaise of our political system is the regular citizen's apathy. I’ve seen this for years. The reason, of course, is because citizens are not involved in any meaningful way in the political discourse of our time; they have no "skin in the game", so why bother? This is a perfectly normal reaction. If your input is not wanted, why offer it? But is our political system supposed to be so insular, running on its own in a corner with no oversight?

In Praise of William Lenthall and The End of Nova Scotia’s Legislature Part 1

Who was William Lenthall? He was an English politician active in the mid-1600s. This was a time of rising tension between the King, Charles I, and England’s legislature, Parliament. The King wanted money to pursue foreign wars, but taxes could only be raised with the agreement of the legislature. In the past, the monarchy was able to overcome resistance from the legislature through threats, diplomacy, or political machinations.
