    Climate

    Faster fossil phase-down

    The other end of this axis: Slower phase-down, production first

    Supported carbon tax and continues climate commitments with industrial pricing and investment in non-polluting energy.

    We are not backing down on our climate commitments. We have made one change to our carbon pricing system. We are still holding large industrial polluters responsible by having them pay a carbon price, and we are going to be investing heavily in non-polluting forms of energy.

    Excerpts repeat call for federal framework.

    Fiscal policy

    Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

    Excerpts state support for middle-class tax cut reducing lowest rate.

    That is why we are reducing the lowest federal personal income tax rate from 15% to 14%, a change that would directly benefit nearly 22 million Canadians. To put this into perspective, with the full effect of this measure taking hold, individuals would save up to $420, and two-income families would see up to $840 in tax relief.

    Health

    Expand public coverage

    The other end of this axis: More private delivery

    Agrees with universal pharmacare and stresses public coverage to avoid higher emergency costs.

    We talked about universal pharmacare. I agree. I spent 20 years of my career as an emergency physician, and I saw people come in sick because they couldn't afford their medication. It's a regular occurrence.

    Housing

    Public supply and demand controls

    The other end of this axis: Market supply and deregulation

    Calls for proper home care supports and personal care home beds to address seniors and homelessness issues.

    They have mobility issues, they become demented, and they don't need to be in a hospital, but there aren't proper home care supports or personal care home beds for them. It's become so critical that sometimes people like this are brought into the emergency department by concerned family members, and internal medicine departments won't admit them because there's nothing medically wrong with them.

    Public safety

    Prevention and restraint

    The other end of this axis: Enforcement and sentencing

    States harm reduction saves lives, improves outcomes, and does not increase crime, supporting Good Samaritan laws.

    Harm reduction saves lives, improves outcomes, increases access to rehabilitation, and does not increase either the use of drugs or incidence of crime. This is the conclusion of the Canadian Medical Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World Health Organization.
