Lachlan Van Egmond

Independent candidate for Calgary Crowfoot
Canada is ruining itself by destroying productive individuals with crushing tax and regulatory burdens. My platform is development focused. Canada needs to build. This building must be done by private enterprise. Pipelines must be built as essential infrastructure.

Affordability & Housing

Compare

Food prices

Compare other promises
Canada needs to become highly productive again in order to keep costs down. Food prices are a symptom of the overall decline in Canadian economic activity.

Fuel and transportation costs

Compare other promises
Canada must remove all taxes on consumers and companies as they relate to fossil fuels.

Home construction and supply

Compare other promises
The housing crisis was caused by the Liberal government allowing for levels of immigration that outpaced housing supply. Reducing immigration will solve this crisis. Open up public lands to construction.

Post-secondary costs and loans

Compare other promises
Student loans are being widely taken advantage of. Most students take them out at 0% interest and invest the money. Make loans have market rate interest.

Climate Change & the Environment

Compare

Clean energy

Compare other promises
Export Canadian Oil and Gas without restriction.

Electric vehicles

Reason for running

If I do not take action and do everything I can to save Canada we will not have the semblance of a country left within a decade. Canada is on the path of decline. Something must be done to stop this decline.
