Slower phase-down, production first

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

Excerpts repeat attacks on the industrial carbon tax as driving up food prices and call for its elimination.

The industrial carbon tax and the Liberal fuel standard tax are driving up costs on farm equipment, fertilizers, food processing and transport, and the bill is passed down to Canadians at the grocery store. Since they have no real plan to lower food costs, will the Liberals vote for our motion to introduce a food affordability plan that eliminates the industrial carbon tax and the fuel standard tax?

Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

Excerpts repeat calls to cut taxes, red tape and eliminate the carbon tax while criticizing Liberal spending.

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

Excerpt criticizes Liberal failures and supports Conservative plan to sell federal properties near transit to build homes faster.
