Climate Change & the Environment
CompareEffects of Climate Change
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Withdraw from the Paris Accord and abandon unrealistic greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.
Stop sending billions of dollars to developing countries to help them reduce their emissions.
Abolish the Liberal government’s carbon tax and leave it to provincial governments to adopt programs to reduce emissions if they want to.
Abolish subsidies for green technology and let private players develop profitable and efficient alternatives.
Invest in adaptation strategies if problems arise as a result of any natural climate change.
Prioritize implementing practical solutions to make Canada’s air, water and soil cleaner, including bringing clean drinking water to remote First Nations communities.
Health & Healthcare
CompareCOVID Testing
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
COVID Vaccination
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Review of COVID Response
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated can get infected and transmit the virus, which negates the rationale for segregation and vaccine passports.
Section 1 of Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms states that reasonable limits to our rights and freedoms can only be imposed if it has been demonstrated that they are justified in a free and democratic society. Such a demonstration has not been made for covid restrictions, most of which are arguably unconstitutional.
Housing & Homelessness
CompareHousing Prices
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Money Laundering
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Mortgages
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Human Rights & Equality
CompareHate Crimes & Hate Speech
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Restrict the definition of hate speech in the Criminal Code to expression which explicitly advocates the use of force against identifiable groups or persons based on protected criteria such as religion, race, ethnicity, sex, or sexual orientation.
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 C-16, M-103, C-10, and C-36.
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.
Immigration & Refugees
CompareImmigration Process
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Refugees
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Accept fewer resettled refugees (see also Immigration policy).
Take every measure necessary, in partnership with our American neighbours, to stop the flow of illegal migrants at the US-Canadian border.
Declare the whole border an official port of entry for the purposes of refugee claims to send back to the US anyone trying to enter Canada illegally.
Fence off the areas where illegal border jumping is prevalent, such as Roxham Road in Quebec.
Rely on private sponsorships instead of having the government pay for all the costs of resettling refugees in Canada.
Stop our reliance on the United Nations for refugee selection.
Give priority to refugees belonging to persecuted groups who have nowhere to go in neighbouring countries. For example: Christians, Yazidis, and members of other minority religions in majority Muslim countries; members of the Ahmadi community, and other Muslims in these countries who are persecuted because they reject political Islam and adhere to Western values; and members of sexual minorities.
Take Canada out of the UN’s Global Compact for Migration.
Temporary Foreign Workers
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Immigration
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Substantially lower the total number of immigrants and refugees Canada accept every year, from 350,000 to between 100,000 and 150,000, depending on economic and other circumstances.
Ensure that every candidate for immigration undergoes a face-to-face interview and answers a series of specific questions to assess the extent to which they align with Canadian values and societal norms (see Canadian Identity policy).
Increase resources for CSIS, the RCMP and Canadian Immigration and Citizenship to do interviews and thorough background checks on all classes of immigrants.
Indigenous Relations & Reconciliation
CompareIndigenous Housing
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
A People’s Party government will explore further avenues to promote the establishment of individual property rights on reserves so as to empower its residents, and give them increased control over their lives.
Natural Resources Development
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
On-Reserve Funding
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Reconciliation
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Fairness
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
A People’s Party government will ensure that indigenous communities take more ownership of the services they receive in partnership with Ottawa and other levels of government.
Responsibility
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
A People’s Party government will review federal spending to ensure that programs are better targeted to benefit the indigenous population, in particular the communities that have the greatest needs.
International Relations
CompareForeign Policy
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Continue to work closely with our allies to maintain a peaceful international order, but will not get involved in foreign conflicts unless we have a compelling strategic interest in doing so.
Prioritize relations with our main trading and defence partner, and work with the Biden administration, or whoever occupies the White House, to reinforce our friendship and cooperation.
Withdraw from all UN commitments, including the Global Compact on Migrations and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, that threaten our sovereignty, and reduce our presence in UN institutions to a minimum.
Liberalize trade with as many countries as possible, while ensuring our security and protecting our economy from the threat of potentially hostile foreign investors.
Save billions of dollars by phasing out development aid, and focus Canadian international assistance exclusively on emergency humanitarian action in cases such as health crises, major conflicts and natural disasters.
Natural Resources & Extraction
ComparePipelines
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
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 pipelines construction by invoking section 92(10) of our Constitution, whereby Parliament can declare any project to be for the general advantage of Canada.
Public Safety & Policing
CompareFirearms
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
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 Trudeau’s 2020 cabinet decision to ban 1500 types of firearms.
Mandate that all future changes to firearms regulation be completed through Parliament only. This means that neither the RCMP nor cabinet will be able to move the legal goalposts for legal firearms owners without the approval of Parliament.
Everything else
Veterans
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Recognize and respect the unique sacrifices of those who serve and have served in Canada’s Armed Forces.
Enshrine in legislation the country’s obligations to our veterans in a Military Covenant between the government and those who serve in the Armed Forces.
Reinstate the fair disability pension as previously provided for by the Pension Act. The pension will apply retroactively to 2006 and lump sum payments received since then will be treated as advance payments.
Instigate a line-by-line review of the New Veterans Charter (including the Enhanced New Veterans Charter Act of 2011), to determine which policies and programs should be retained, simplify the system and make it easier to navigate.
Reemphasize the legislative guarantee of the “Benefit of doubt” standard under the Pension Act.
Internal Trade
Nicholas Craniotis's promise
Reassert the authority and leadership of the federal government on internal trade.
Use section 91(2) of the Constitution, which gives Ottawa exclusive power to regulate matters of international and interprovincial trade, to force provinces to apply the principle of mutual recognition where applicable. This principle means that if a worker, product or service meets regulatory standards in one province, then other provinces will trust that they meet their own standards.
Appoint a Minister of Internal Trade whose sole responsibility will be to conduct studies, raise public awareness, counteract the influence of special interests that benefit from interprovincial barriers, and put pressure on provincial governments to get rid of them.
