Slower phase-down, production first

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

Excerpts repeat opposition to carbon tax as it raises fuel prices and burdens rural Canadians.

The carbon tax is only driving up fuel prices and is disabling business owners in my riding. That is why the Conservatives tried to put a halt to the bleeding by introducing an opposition day motion to reduce prices by 5%.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

Excerpts repeatedly call for lower taxes, smaller government, and oppose new spending and debt.

We need to have lower taxes, more freedom, smaller government and regain some optimism and hope in ourselves and in our government. Conservatives are opposed to Bill C-8.

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Calls for recognizing Uighur genocide and improving NATO Arctic capabilities.

Canada cannot remain silent. Therefore, the petitioners call on the House of Commons to take the following action to address the situation: formally recognize that Uighurs in China have been and are being subject to genocide. This is especially relevant now in light of the Olympics coming up in China.

Market supply and deregulation

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

Excerpts criticize government mismanagement and NIMBYs blocking development and call to build homes faster.

The simple reality is that the government's mismanagement coupled with local NIMBY gatekeepers block development and drive up mortgages and housing costs. This is the only explanation of the fact that we have the fewest homes in the G7 per capita despite having the most space.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts repeat support for law-abiding gun owners and opposition to long-gun bans while focusing on criminals.

I have proudly voted against the Liberal-NDP government's attempt to punish law-abiding firearms owners who play by the rules. The vast majority of gun crimes involve firearms that were smuggled into our country.

Deeper continental integration

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

Praises NAFTA for positive economic effects and export opportunities.

People should also remember that it was a Conservative government that brought in NAFTA, which has had an overwhelmingly positive effect on the Canadian economy. It has opened up new export opportunities for businesses, acted as a stimulus to build internationally competitive businesses and helped attract foreign investment to Canada.
