Tariff Response
The
response to tariffs must be Canada-centric; that is to say, we have to solve the problem by invigorating our economy, diversifying our economy, and diversifying
our markets. The first step is to go for the biggest gains first to finance the
balance of our transition to an independent economy. Energy development is “job
one”. We need to get pipelines east and west with a wartime Kadence. While we
have obstructed our industry, the United States has escalated their fossil fuel
exports. In any scenario you care to put forth, fossil fuel demand is growing, and having everyone but Canada benefit from this growth in demand is pure folly.
Tax Reform
Whereas the “progressive” tax regime that is in place
now nets out regressive due to the reality that people of low to moderate
income are unable to afford professional expertise to avoid tax in the same
manner high-income people are, Canada should move to a flat tax of 25%.
The personnel freed from Revenue Canada (RC) should be
moved in equal parts to the Auditor General’s office (AG) and to a newly formed
Futuring Department. The need for an expanded AG is self-evident given our
experience over the last few decades. The Futuring Department is needed to
study and anticipate trends and technologies and their overall effect on the
country.
Capital Gains tax should be rolled back to 25%, and there
should be no Capital Gains on investments in startup companies.
Environmental Policy
Carbon Policy
Whereas, Carbon Tax fails to be effective at reducing
carbon emissions due to the inability of people to respond to a price signal
when there is no viable means to make marginal benefit choices for product
substitution when there are no products to substitute with. Further, the energy
sources people tout as replacements for fossil fuels have yet to prove up in
terms of the volume of energy produced. Furthermore, carbon taxes depress the
economy and contribute to inflation due to the degree of cost per tonne being
fixed by the government and escalating. The carbon tax should be rescinded.
Whereas a cap-and-trade program that includes market forces on the charge for sequestering a tonne of carbon drives down the per tonne cost and ensures that only a sequestered tonne of carbon or a tonne saved through efficiency represents a “cost”. The “cost”, however, is really just moving one portion of GDP from one place to another with little or no downward pressure on GDP. Given these realities, a nationwide carbon trading exchange should be developed to facilitate the easy interface between emitters and carbon solution companies.
Environmental Policy Change of Focus
Whereas in the Canadian context, the focus on carbon
emission reduction has little or no effect on either world fossil fuel use or
carbon emissions and whereas the focus on carbon emissions reduction tends to
leave other pressing environmental issues to the side, the focus of
environmental policy should be to harden our environment to all challenges that
may befall it.
Indigenous Services Canada
Whereas the Indigenous Services Canada budget
increased from $11 billion to $33 billion with no marked benefit to the
Indigenous people it was intended to help, and whereas, the child supplement
did deliver a marked increase in Indigenous peoples’ living standards.
Indigenous Services Canada's budget should be reduced to cover administrative
costs only, and the balance of the budget should be distributed to individual
Indigenous people.
Broadcasting and Telecom
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
Whereas the CRTC has become onerous to the industry and government alike, the CRTC should be reduced to basic licensing functions. The telecommunications industry should be left to the market. The Canadian broadcasting industry and entertainment industry should be augmented by a 10% levy on all entertainment purchased in Canada for the development of Canadian Content. With contributions to any given production never exceeding 35%, with the balance financed by private companies.
MEDIA
NEEDS NEW MANAGEMENT IN CANADA
CBC – Canadian Broadcasting Company.
Whereas there is a role for a government broadcasting
organization that reports objectively to the Canadian public on government
actions and other goings on and whereas the CBC has fallen generally away from
objectivity, the oversight regime needs to be augmented by a permeant
multi-party parliamentary body specifically charged with ensuring objective
reporting.
Internet Safety and Accountability
Rescind or discontinue processing Bill C63.
Whereas the present regulation and operation of the internet is permitting the transmission of information that harms the nation's narrative, exposes children to damaging materials, facilitates the anonymous abuse of people, allows foreign actors to effect discord and whereas anonymity is the facilitating factor in isolating perpetrators of harm from coming under the weight of the law, measures must be taken to have people’s actions tied to their identity. To this end, the government should enact legislation that makes it a statutory requirement that every person using social media in Canada be provisioned with an Internet Identity Number and that every platform operating in Canada is required to provide for the use of an Internet Identity Number for an account to function.

Social Policy Reform
Focus – Lead from dependence to full participation by
supporting people to a place of self – reliance and independence.
Transcendence
Whereas, transcendence, the promise of a better life for
self and family, is the thing that fuels eager participation in society and
drives growth and prosperity and is the tide that raises all boats the
following measures need to be taken.
Minimum Income
Whereas CPP, UIC, OAS and other social programs each
require their own organization with its requisite management and personnel much
of which is redundant, so by extension wasteful: the government will cancel
these programs and replace them with a minimum income program.
The staff freed from these programs will be directed toward other initiatives suggested herein.
Entrepreneurship
Whereas entrepreneurship is the most promising mechanism by which to bring people into a prosperous circumstance of self-reliance and independence and whereas entrepreneurship is an excellent means by which to close the applied science gap, developing a strong support system for entrepreneurship will ensure an expanding tax base for the government and provide an opportunity for people to be supported to a place of self-reliance.
Capital
Whereas, in the context of entrepreneurship, the present the present processes for acquiring capital are highly institutionalized and hence structured, structured in manner that makes acquiring capital for startups, small and medium business capital augmentation the largest inhibiting factor in participating in the market; in light of what amounts to a market failure, there is a role for government to facilitate easy access to capital.
To address this issue, this government will create an easy-to-use platform that connects capital providers to those requiring capital. This platform will take a form similar to “Go Fund Me” or other platforms of that nature. A person posts their intended course of action and business plan, capital providers purchase a “bond”. The government is only an intermediary at this point. However, there is opportunity for the government to augment “bond” returns to incent participation and to effect targeted quantitative easing.
Gun Control
Whereas legal gun ownership in Canada effectively represents no risk to the general
public, there is no pressing public interest in the confiscation of private
property. Given this is the case, recent
gun legislation should be rescinded immediately.
WHY
GUN CONTROL IS UNNECESSARY AND ILLEGAL
