We just got the Canadian Future Party, and even though I’m pretty left leaning (both financially and socially), it gives me some faith for conservatives here.
The Canadian Future Party (CFP; French: Parti avenir canadien, PAC) is a minor federal political party in Canada that was officially launched in 2024. It describes itself as being politically centrist, campaigning on a fiscally conservative and socially liberal platform.
That made me audibly groan, along with this:
- Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight
- Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories
- Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered
I’m happy to be proven wrong, but this seems like a recipe for laissez-faire capitalism that will eventually end in a collective shrug, a few golden parachutes, and a recession. Canada does not need more centrism.
Translation:
Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight
Privatise profits, socialise losses
Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories
Lower overall taxes, austerity
Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered
End climate-protecting subsidies
Point #3 also includes closing government owned entities like the post office.
