This is not entirely fair. The PPC, of which I am a member, explicitly rejects both mass immigration and multiculturalism. Also its support of meritocracy implies rejecting the principle that all persons are equal to each other. Hence its unpopularity. They aren't exactly right-dissidents, but they are becoming distinct from the right-liberal "Blue Tories" of the Conservative Party. I agree that the libertarianism within the party tends to pull it towards a different direction.
This is a fair comment. There’s a noticeably broad spectrum of figures from Jason Lavigne to Alex Cargill, but the former are indisputably right-liberals and their messaging isn’t congruent. There are multiple PPC members ideologically deviating in their rhetoric. In my view (and I should have specified), meritocracy in the right-liberal context means “colourblind meritocracy”, where there is no loyalty to the in-group, because the notion of group identity is suppressed in value of promoting individualism, and individual rights and freedoms over the nation, which is another thing many PPC members struggle with defining due to their own liberal priors. If a Canadian is not defined by a nation, of which common heritage and ethnicity are shared, then by definition it is post-national, and functionally no different from Trudeau’s left liberalism.
I’m included in the PPC’s group of founding members, and I completely agree with your assessment. It is a liberal party. Having realized that liberalism is the problem, I have since jettisoned my affiliation.
At least if someone in the party expresses ethno-cultural views, they aren't denounced as a "Nazi" and expelled. Besides the best person for the job isn't always a member of the same tribe, else I would have accepted the selection of Erin O'Toole as the Conservative leader; after all, he was an straight Anglophone Irish-Canadian man like myself! The point is rather we should not be importing and giving preference to foreigners who may not be assimilable but rather training our own people in preference, and also respecting our history, traditions, and ancestors. Additionally the internal division is not only between conservatives and libertarians, but also between religious and secular conservatives. I notice this more within the New Blue Party of Ontario, which I also belong to, in that for the Christian conservatives; their identity is not Canada, or the West, but rather Christianity. So they favour flooding our country with fellow co-religionists from around the globe. The creepiest I've encountered are the Christian Zionists, who seem to regard the Jews as some sort of "master race".
Grateful for the primer. I'm rounding out the gaps as an Aussie/Canadian (Scottish/Irish/English) former expat X'r with strong nationalist ties in my Canadian blood family. I was overseas for most of 2000-2016 for professional and financial reasons, returning annually just long enough to notice that things were going from bad to worse. The societal and cultural changes in BC over the past decade have been hard to keep up with, and as a white male, I've been wisely staying close to nature in the sticks, awaiting a shift in the vibe of the ether. Keeping the crosshairs off my ass!! Heh. I'm sensing that change these days - and believe there is HOPE yet. Thanks for typing.
This is clearer and more detailed than my essay. The rejection of egalitarianism is a big one. I'm starting to believe that a kind of female, reflexive-emotional drive doesn't like to promote people over others or make distinctions or make folks' lives harder... and it's driving an insane share of our public policy. It's ideological of course but at the core it's a psychological drive more than a belief-a kind of warped maternal urge that gets more perverted the more unused maternal traits become. It seems to explain so much and even answers questions I had after speaking to many of these women.
Small Correction: Zionism doesn't reject Multiculturalism. There are over 2 million Israeli Arabs of Israeli Nationality enjoying Israeli Endowments. Zionism is an open rejection of All Antisemitism. It is also a rejection of Most Anti-Democratic Positions such as Pan Arabism and Pan Islamism; Communism, while informally AntiDemocratic is still an Idealism with Economic merit, unlike the aforementioned.
Solid summary! Not sure any of this is new per se but a great resource to red pill any seeker of truth. Reminds me of John Artcos factions of the DR series. Nice work! I think the real question is who is going to win on the Dissident Right and I think it really does have to be the Catholic faction, but that is a battle for a different time
I didn't read this (or even see it) until after I posted this piece about what feels like a new political re-alignment. It doesn't really address your points here and I'm sure we're not unanimous about everything but I'd be interested to get your take (basically it seems like the 'Right' now is coalescing around old school social science and anti-corporatism and a traditional emphasis on the family and traditional sex roles):
This is a good primer for the normie

Great summation. I'm looking forward to using this to help educate those in my circle who are interested.

The future belongs to us
Where do you place the New Conservatism (which is akin to old Conservatism from Smith and Burke) as espoused by Oren Cass?

Except when they consider themselves the victims.
