The IDU is a global alliance of RW parties giving leaders a respectable stage to coordinate their regressive agendas. It amplifies white supremacist sympathies & ethno religious-facist ideologies across different countries using cooperation on policies, elections, & political strategy. #cdnpoli

* Members: It includes major international political groups like the U.S. Republican Party, the Conservative Party of Canada, and the Conservative Party of the UK.
* Ideology: The IDU fundamentally champions free-market capitalism, free trade, and economic deregulation.

The IDU is a global alliance of right wing parties giving reactionary leaders a respectable stage to coordinate their regressive agendas.  It is a network to amplify white supremacist sympathies & ethno religious-facist ideologies across different countries using cooperation on policies, elections, & political strategy.  Pierre Poilievre is Harper's chosen successor.  Harper is cofounder of AWZ Ventures - an active participant in Gaza genocide involving cybersecurity, intelligence & security technologies.
