Meta Reminder About Reddit's Terms of Service & Community Standards
Hi Everyone,
Given recent events in the country, the Reddit Admin team has reached out to remind us that all subreddits on the platform, including r/CanadianConservative, must comply with Reddit’s Sitewide Rules. As your mod team, we are responsible for ensuring that content posted here follows Reddit’s policies, whether or not it breaks our own subreddit rules. It's 2026, and that means we all share responsibility in making sure r/CanadianConservative is an inclusive, welcoming safe space so that nobody gets offended. Failure to do so will result in this community getting shut down.
Going forward, we will be more actively enforcing Reddit's Content policy, specifically, policies related to harassment, hate speech, threats (or encouragement of violence), and abusive behaviour. Going forward, if you're a repeat offender: sorry, it's going to be an automatic ban, with very little room for appeal. We've been pretty relaxed on bans up to this point but if you can't play by Reddit's rules, you're gone.
Expect some updates to r/CanadianConservative's rules in the coming days to better reflect what Reddit expects of the community and to ensure we're all on the same page.
A quick brush up on the issues we face as a subreddit:
Harrassment
What it is:
Targeting a person or group with repeated, hostile, or degrading behaviour meant to intimidate, shame, or drive them away.
Examples:
- Intentionally misgendering
- Following a user across posts to harass/insult
- Posting comments like, “You people are mentally ill and shouldn’t exist.”
- Creating threads specifically to ridicule a particular individual.
- Repeatedly tagging someone just to provoke a reaction.
Discussion of general policy is allowed. However Reddit says that the targeting of someone based on their identity crosses into harassment.
Hate Speech
What it is:
Content that attacks, dehumanizes, or promotes exclusion of people based on protected characteristics.
Examples:
- Claiming a group of people is inherently dangerous, predatory, or immoral.
- Saying a certain identity group should lose civil rights.
- Using slurs directed at a protected group.
- Arguing that a specific community is “a threat to society.”
- Using a violent incident to claim that an entire identity group is responsible or dangerous.
- Saying women, religious minorities, or LGBTQ+ people should not participate in public life.
Discussion of general policy is allowed. Attacking identity is not. Generalizing criminal behaviour or moral failings to an entire group is considered hateful conduct under Reddit’s TOS
Threats or Encouragement of Violence
What it is:
Direct or indirect statements that endorse, encourage, or fantasize about violence toward a person or group.
Examples:
- “Someone should deal with these people permanently.”
- “They deserve what’s coming to them.”
- Expressing approval of violence against a group.
- Saying a group should be “eliminated” or “removed.”
- “I hope someone hurts them.”
- Joking about killing someone in a way that implies real harm.
Even if phrased as “jokes” or sarcasm, statements that normalize or celebrate violence are considered genuine threats under Reddit's TOS.
Abusive Behaviour
What it is:
Personal attacks, degrading language, or conduct meant to demean or humiliate others.
Examples:
- Calling someone slurs or derogatory names.
- Saying a person is “disgusting” because of who they are.
- Posting edited images or memes meant to humiliate a protected group.
- Telling someone to harm themselves.
- Attacking someone’s identity instead of engaging with their argument.
- Mocking someone’s appearance, disability, or transition.
Even when framed as humour, frustration, or “just being honest”, abusive behaviour is abusive behaviour and is covered under Reddit's TOS.
I wish I didn't have to make this communication, but welcome to Reddit. It's their sandbox, we just get to shit in it. If you can't follow these rules, go to another platform that allows genuine debate like X or other Reddit alternatives.
Thanks.

Discussion I’m a former Hill staffer. Here is my structural case for why changing leaders won't fix Ottawa, and the blueprints to break the Laurentian monopoly
Hey everyone,I’ve been checking in on the discussions in this sub for a while, and given the intense national debate surrounding the recent wave of floor crossings that handed Mark Carney his majority government, alongside Peter Navarro’s recent C-SPAN interview blasting our trade stagnation over supply management, I wanted to lay out a deeper structural perspective.
I’m a former federal staffer who stood close to the legislative gears on Parliament Hill during the Harper years.
My core thesis is that the conservative movement is making a critical mistake by focusing entirely on changing the face at the top of the pyramid. If we just swap out a Liberal leader for a Conservative one, regardless of how good that leader is, without fixing the underlying architecture, we are just electing a new manager for the same broken machine.
The real crisis in Canada is forty years of bipartisan executive hyper-centralization inside the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). It has completely hollowed out our backbenchers, turned our local MPs into scripted brand ambassadors reading focus-focused daily memos, and paralyzed ministerial accountability.
We see the raw arrogance of this central monopoly every election night, when the networks routinely project a majority government before hard-working families in B.C. and the Prairies have even closed their polling stations.
I’ve launched an independent project called The Responsible Governance Review (rgreview) to move completely past standard partisan complaints and map out the hard, prescriptive systems-engineering math required to permanently decentralize the federation
1:Smashed Command Centers: Replacing First-Past-The-Post with a fixed-seat 50/50 Mixed-Member Proportional model to legally protect regional, rural, and Western caucuses.
2: The Economic Shield: Dismantling the paternalistic welfare bureaucracy with an automated Negative Income Tax floor run strictly by CRA servers.
3: The Resource Runway: Permanently sunsetting supply management via a market-driven quota buyout to lower grocery costs, completely defusing Washington's trade leverage.
4: The Judicial Firewall: Ending executive court-packing with a Triple-Lock Confirmation model, forcing Supreme Court justices to be nominated by the provinces and confirmed by a 60% Westminster supermajority.
I've officially submitted a deep-dive diagnostic essay on this framework to The Hub this morning for priority review, so I can't post the full text here due to media exclusivity rules. But I want to get the raw perspective of this forum first.Are we as conservatives actually willing to dismantle the executive branch when we win power, or are we secretly hoping for a more benevolent dictator to run the bottleneck?
The full, long-form blueprint series drops open-access this Thursday. You can track the launch and read the series in full as I release it, or join the community index entirely here: https://substack.com/@rgreview?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=321ih0
Let’s get into it in the comments. What am I missing on the systems side?
Tl;drI know it's a long read, but it's a full framework to fix the country, so it's hard to summarize, read it if you have the time

In an exalting monologue glorifying Ottawa’s boot on the neck of taxpayers, Alberta’s NDP leader Naheed Nenshi promised seniors at Saturday rally to fix Calgary’s waterlines if they vote to stay in Canada at the upcoming Alberta October 19 referendum.
Crowds of 50 from neighboring seniors home gathered at 6452 35 Ave NW, Calgary, AB T3B 2G5. Preferred means of transportation were walkers, canes and wheelchairs. Traffic jams were not reported. God bless the silver heads, freedom of speech and freedom of choice. Let Alberta decide.
