Slower phase-down, production first

The other end of this axis: Faster fossil phase-down

Repeats calls to eliminate the industrial carbon tax and lower fuel taxes across multiple excerpts.

Conservatives have a plan to eliminate the industrial carbon tax, cut spending on consultants and corporate subsidies, and accelerate permits for major projects to strengthen jobs and our economy. When will the current Liberal government adopt our Conservative economic plan to get businesses moving into Canada rather than moving out of Canada?

Expand production and export

The other end of this axis: Restrict new oil and gas

Highlights energy as a key strength and leverage for Canada.

Our leverage comes from our strengths: our energy, our critical minerals and our ability to supply the inputs that North American industries depend on. Why have the Liberals failed to defend Canadian industries and workers in these critical sectors?

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Favors asking provinces to implement federal laws.

We can ask our provincial counterparts and our municipalities to implement those laws once we have strict laws and the bail reforms are there. In my opinion, and I always say this, repeat violent offenders should be in jail, not out on bail.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

The other end of this axis: Higher taxes and public spending

Repeats criticism of deficits, high spending and calls for lower taxes across excerpts.

Bill C-15, the first implementation act of the 2025 budget, would do nothing to change course; it is more spending, taxes and bureaucracy, and fewer results. The budget does not put Canadians first; it puts consultants, insiders and Brookfield first, everyone except Canadian families.

Market supply and deregulation

The other end of this axis: Public supply and demand controls

Criticizes government controls and calls for cutting red tape to build homes.

Where is the federal leadership on zoning reform, infrastructure investment and rental construction? We need action now to build homes fast and to put the dream of home ownership back within the reach of Canadians. On small businesses and opportunities, the throne speech says that Canada is open for business, but for entrepreneurs in Brampton the reality is burdensome paperwork, rising costs and policy uncertainty.

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Supports skills-based immigration tied to needs.

I always believe in one thing: that immigration should be on a skills basis. If we need people, we have to bring them in. I am in favour of a united and strong Canada, and we will work toward that.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Repeats calls for bail reform and jailing repeat offenders across excerpts.

In my opinion, and I always say this, repeat violent offenders should be in jail, not out on bail. I also hear, time and time again, that these things are taking time.

Deeper continental integration

The other end of this axis: Diversify away from one partner

Advocates tariff-free auto pact and fair trade deals with the US.

Conservatives have a plan to remove the GST on Canadian-made cars, end costly EV mandates and bring home a new tariff-free auto pact to double our production to two million vehicles a year. Let us rebuild our auto sector, restore our economic strength and stand up for Canadians.
