1) Whether it’s groceries, gas or rent — the cost of living continues to be a challenge for many Canadians. How can the federal government make life more affordable?
Get rid of the deficit and balance the budget within a year after taking power. Tens of billions of dollars in savings can be found rapidly by eliminating or drastically cutting the budgets of large programs and agencies such as corporate welfare, foreign aid, aid to Ukraine, climate change programs, the CBC/Radio-Canada and financial support to media. Lowering taxes bring more money to citizens pockets.
2) Home ownership continues to be inaccessible for many, especially younger Canadians. What actions can the federal government take to help?
Impose a moratorium on new permanent residents for as many years as necessary until the housing crisis has cooled down, the negative economic impact of mass immigration has been neutralized, and the process of social and cultural disintegration due to mass immigration has been reversed; thereafter, substantially lower the number of permanent residents Canada accepts every year to between 100,000 and 150,000. Modify the Bank of Canada’s inflation target, from 2% to 0%. This will cool down inflation in all sectors, including housing.
3) How would you approach the current trade tensions between Canada and the United States?
Ensure that the new formula respects our Constitution, makes provincial governments more responsible for their policy decisions, and is fair for citizens of all provinces. Support local businesses.
4) How can we strengthen the Canadian economy?
Counter anti-oil and anti-pipeline propaganda from radical environmentalists and foreign foundations.• Repeal Bill C-48.• Repeal Bill C-69.• Approve pipelines projects using a streamlined process.• Find a private buyer for Trans Mountain.• Reassert federal jurisdiction over pipe-lines construction by invoking section 92(10) of our Constitution if necessary, whereby Parliament can declare any project to be for the general advantage of Canada.• Work with industry and with our American partners to revive cancelled projects and keep Line 5 in operation.
5) What needs to change with Canada’s criminal justice system?
Repeal any existing legislation or regulation curtailing free speech on the internet and prevent the reinstatement of section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.• Repeal Bill C-16 and Motion M-103.• Repeal Bill C-11, which could be used to regulate user content on streaming platforms. Abolish all public funding to Canadian media and insure that they are completely independent and free from government influence.• Ensure that Canadians can exercise their freedom of conscience to its fullest extent as it is intended under the Charter and are not discriminated against because of their moral convictions.• Withhold federal funding from any post-secondary institution shown to be violating the freedom of expression of its students or faculty.
6) Would you prefer reducing or increasing federal government spending?
Ottawa should stop taking billions of dollars from the private sector and redistributing them through subsidies. It should instead lower taxes for all businesses and encourage saving and investment to make our economy more productive. This is reducing government spending.
7) What policies do you support to reduce emissions?
Withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, abandon unrealistic greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, and stop sending billions of dollars to developing countries to help them reduce their emissions.• Abolish the taxes, regulations, subsidies, and programs adopted by the Liberal government to fight so-called climate change, and instead invest in adaptation strategies to protect Canadians against natural disasters such as floods and forest fires. • Prioritize implementing practical solutions to make Canada’s air, water and soil cleaner, including bringing clean drinking water to remote First Nations communities
8) The current government banned a number of firearms over its last two terms with mixed reaction from Canadians. Would you keep or expand the gun ban, or remove it?
Replace the Firearms Act and supporting legislation with new legislation that will prioritize effective measures to improve public safety and fight crime in Canada. • Replace the costly and burdensome licensing system with an efficient lifetime certification system for firearms owners following mandatory vetting, safety training and testing. To avoid criminalizing peaceful and responsible gun owners and guarantee their property rights, this system will legalize simple possession of firearms for certified Canadians as long as they use their firearms lawfully and don’t commit some other crime that would disqualify them from firearms ownership. • Require that all firearms categories be based on function, not on looks or arbitrary political whims, and reclassify all firearms based on the Simplified Classification System as proposed by the Canadian Shooting Sports Association. This will remove ineffective restrictions which unfairly target sport shooters, but have no deterrent effect on criminals. • Repeal the Trudeau government’s 2020 and 2024 cabinet decisions to ban more than 1800 types of firearms. • Repeal Trudeau’s Bill C-71, which imposes a set of new restrictions on licensed gun owners and businesses that sell firearms, and Bill C-21, which freezes the sale and transfer of handguns and arbitrarily adds certain types of rifles and shotguns
