Paul O'Halloran

PPC candidate for Foothills

I’m a PPC member championing freedom, fairness, and responsibility. I’ll cut deficits, lower taxes, pause immigration, reform healthcare, reject climate policies, support veterans, and protect free speech and gun rights, promoting sovereignty and smaller government.

As a proud member of the People’s Party of Canada, led by Maxime Bernier, I champion our platform rooted in freedom, responsibility, fairness, and respect, blending populism, conservatism, and libertarianism. For 2025, I support:

Economy & Taxes: I’ll push to eliminate the federal deficit in one year by cutting corporate welfare ($5-10B), foreign aid ($5B), and defunding CBC ($1B). I’ll phase out pandemic spending and reduce equalization payments. Once balanced, I’ll advocate for lower personal, corporate, and capital gains taxes, and end supply management in dairy, poultry, and eggs with $3.6-4.7B in farmer compensation to cut food prices.

Immigration: I propose pausing immigration until the housing crisis eases, then limiting intake to 100,000-150,000 annually, prioritizing economic immigrants. I’ll support deporting illegal immigrants, ending birth tourism, limiting family reunification, and withdrawing from the UN Global Compact for Migration.

Healthcare: I’ll advocate replacing Canada Health Transfer cash payments with permanent tax point transfers to provinces, creating temporary compensation for lower-revenue provinces.

Environment: I reject the climate change consensus and support withdrawing from the Paris Accord, abolishing carbon taxes, and eliminating green tech subsidies. I’ll promote expanding oil and gas, letting provinces and private sectors handle environmental issues.

Veterans: As a veteran, I’m committed to reinstating fair disability pensions retroactively to 2006, treating lump-sum payments as advances, and simplifying the New Veterans Charter.

Other: I’ll push to abolish DEI initiatives, repeal the Multiculturalism Act, and promote Canadian unity. I support deregulating telecom, increasing airline competition, exploring Canada Post privatization, and protecting free speech and firearm rights with common-sense licensing.

I stand for national sovereignty, smaller government, and individual freedoms, opposing globalist policies and bureaucratic overreach.

Born on April 17, 1962, in Trenton, Ontario, Paul enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces at age 25, serving as a combat soldier with the 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment, at CFB Gagetown, New Brunswick. Following a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Cambodia in 1993, he retrained as a finance clerk and was posted to CFB Calgary, Alberta, in 1994, where he completed his service until his honorable discharge in 1997. After leaving the military, Paul established himself as a self-employed residential construction professional in Black Diamond, now part of the Town of Diamond Valley, Alberta.

He is a dedicated advocate for fairness and honesty, consistently defending these values in both his personal and professional life. Known for his fearless commitment to his convictions, Paul stands unwaveringly in support of those who face unjust treatment.
