Hate through a Canadian conservative movement worldview. The Christian Heritage Party on the Internet

Abstract

This article aims to capture the political imaginary of a christian canadian neoconservative party. The socio-anthropological analysis of the content of the Christian Heritage Party website describes the etiological, ontological and axiological grammars that shapes the worldview of this political party. It shows how they mobilize the symbolic codes of the civil sphere to defile certain institutions (media, justice, parliament) or groups (elites, religious or gender minorities) and thus strengthen the contours of what would be a "good" Canadian society. These movements and actors are often sent outside the civil sphere and reduced to a pathology of the social system. However, these movements do not revolve in an independent orbit. They produce symbols and use communication institutions to disseminate their representations of good and evil through speeches. They justify their contempt for social movements, actors (especially leftist, LGBTQ activists, judges, medias) in the name of freedom, equality or justice.
