Positions on Issues

• Climate & Environment

  Opposed the consumer carbon tax ("axe the tax") and would repeal remaining industrial carbon pricing in favour of technology-based incentives, particularly for nuclear and carbon capture.

• Cost of Living

  Promises to balance budgets, cut income tax, axe industrial carbon pricing, and remove the GST on new homes. Argues structural inflation pressures need supply-side responses.

• Digital Rights

  Opposes C-18 and C-63 as government censorship. Supports protection of online speech, cybersecurity investment, and would repeal portions of the Online Harms Act perceived as overreach.

• Economy & Jobs

  Focuses on tax cuts, deregulation, fast-tracked resource-project approvals, and balanced budgets. Opposes broad industrial subsidies in favour of across-the-board lower business taxes.

• Education

  Supports trades training and apprenticeship investment, with respect for provincial jurisdiction over curriculum. Has criticized federal student-loan forgiveness as fiscally unsustainable.

• Healthcare

  Commits to maintain federal funding for universal healthcare while supporting provincial-led delivery innovations. Opposes a federally-managed pharmacare expansion, preferring targeted programs.

• Housing

  Proposes withholding federal funding from cities that don't meet housing-start targets, selling federal land for affordable housing, and removing the GST on new homes under $1 million.

• Immigration

  Calls for lower immigration targets tied to housing supply and labour-market needs. Supports closing loopholes in the temporary foreign worker program.

• Indigenous Rights

  Supports reconciliation through economic partnership — equity ownership in resource projects, Indigenous-led infrastructure procurement, and fiscal autonomy for First Nations.

• National Security

  Calls for reaching NATO 2% faster, expanding the Arctic naval presence, hardening border enforcement, and strengthening cybersecurity authorities at CSE.
