Chey Craik never saw himself as a politician and never thought he would run for politics, but realized he couldn’t sit by and watch Canada fall apart or lose its direction.
Craik, the People’s Party of Canada candidate for the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan riding, promised during a rally on Sept. 2 at the Mae Wilson Theatre that he would be a vocal voice for the constituency if elected.
“No longer will it be an empty suit in Ottawa. I will stand for what is right and I will stand for you,” he said as the crowd of 200 cheered and applauded.
Canadian society has been degrading at break-neck speed, which can’t be passed onto future generations, Craik continued. He couldn’t live with himself if he didn’t fight for the future of his children and future generations and attempt to get Canada back on track.
Craik asked the crowd some questions, including whether they thought their previous MP had represented them well, if they were tired of not being heard in Ottawa, whether they were satisfied with the current government, and whether they like the current opposition. To each answer, the crowd gave a loud “no.”
“If we want something different, we need to stand up and choose something different,” he said. “This is truly a grassroots movement of the people, working together to fight this evil globalist agenda that is taking over our world.”
The People’s Party of Canada will fight with Canadians, especially since the party’s founding principles focus on individual freedom, personal responsibility, fairness and respect, Craik continued. A PPC government wouldn’t use fear or propaganda to push authoritarian controls on the public.
The PPC believes residents should be the leaders of their households as God intended and include God in their lives, while they should make the decisions for their families instead of the government, he said to cheers. It was also unacceptable that the Conservative Party of Canada was pushing the abolition of puppy mills as an important topic.
“This segregation and separation in our society is not OK. These vaccine passports and mandates are not OK. These vaccine passports are China’s social credit system,” stated Craik. “I’m not OK with a ‘show me your papers’ society.”
Individual freedoms need to be returned to Canadians, people should have the personal responsibility to make choices for their families, and the government should move to the side, he continued.
The PPC would not impose a carbon tax since no amount of taxation or taking money from hard-working taxpayers will ever fix the atmosphere, Craik said. The PPC would also eliminate restrictive firearms laws that target responsible gun owners.
Craik added that the time was right for people to take back their freedoms and that the crowd should encourage friends and family to vote for the People’s Party of Canada.
Following Craik’s speech, PPC leader Maxime Bernier spoke to the boisterous crowd as part of his Mad Max 2021 Election Tour.
