Slower phase-down, production first

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

Excerpts repeat criticism of the industrial carbon tax and call for axing it to protect competitiveness and production.

That starts with axing the carbon tax for good and letting Canadians keep more of their hard-earned money. It also means addressing the deeper issue created by the Liberal government: the productivity crisis that is dragging our economy down globally and depriving working-class Canadians of a chance to get ahead.

Expand production and export

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

Excerpts repeat opposition to production caps, tanker bans and anti-development laws while calling for pipelines and resource development.

They refuse to repeal their “no new pipelines” law, the same law that killed billions in private investment and forced companies to flee south. They maintain the production cap, which throttles Canada's ability to compete globally. They enforce a tanker ban that effectively blocks our provinces from exporting responsibly produced Canadian energy while our allies depend on the exports of dirty dictator oil. Is that fair to young Canadians who could be building careers in engineering, trades or innovation, or is that just failure dressed up as virtue? Investment is fleeing the country at a record level.

Provinces lead

The other end of this axis: Ottawa leads

Excerpts criticize federal EV mandate and assert respect for provincial jurisdiction under the Constitution.

Does that mean that if it were a different committee, you would vote in favour of it? They're starting to talk about jurisdiction. Again, we're not encroaching on the jurisdiction of the provinces. Unlike the Liberals, we respect the Constitution. If there's a party against research, it sounds like it's the Liberals, because they're voting against conducting research on a mandate that they just imposed on Canadians—one that they're not calling for.

Lower taxes and tighter spending

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

Excerpts repeatedly call for axing the carbon tax, cutting costs and saving taxpayers money.

That starts with axing the carbon tax for good and letting Canadians keep more of their hard-earned money. It also means addressing the deeper issue created by the Liberal government: the productivity crisis that is dragging our economy down globally and depriving working-class Canadians of a chance to get ahead.

Assertive alliances and sanctions

The other end of this axis: Alliance restraint

Excerpts support targeted sanctions on Iran, IRGC listing and a foreign agent registry.

The petitioners are calling on the Prime Minister and the Government of Canada to expand and rigorously enforce targeted sanctions against leaders and enemies responsible for repression; fully implement the IRGC listing through investigations, asset freezes, seizures and prosecutions where warranted, and strengthen immigration and inadmissibility screening to prevent entry by regime officials and their affiliates and family members; direct federal law enforcement and security agencies to investigate foreign interference, transnational repression and money laundering linked to the regime in Iran and to protect Canadians from intimidation; ensure that the foreign influence transparency and accountability regime in Canada includes meaningful penalties and strong enforcement; swiftly implement a robust foreign agent registry to keep Canadians safe; work with international partners to pursue independent investigations and accountability for the mass killings and abuses during the January 2026 crackdowns; and, finally, expel and remove from Canada individuals acting as agents of the regime in Iran.

Market supply and deregulation

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

Excerpts repeatedly blame Liberal policies for the housing crisis and call for change to increase affordability.

It is this housing crisis that the Liberal government has perpetuated. I have spoken to so many young people at the doors over this election, 30-year-olds, 35-year-olds, 40-year-olds living in these beautiful single-family homes, townhomes and single detached homes.

Lower intake

The other end of this axis: Higher permanent intake

Excerpts criticize high temporary resident numbers and call for caps and controls.

Canada now has three million temporary residents, over 7% of our population, and that number is going up every day. Canada now has 500,000 undocumented individuals, and that number is also going up every day. Canada has 300,000 asylum claims in the queue, and of course that is also growing every day. The result is that our housing market is collapsing, our health care is collapsing, our job market is collapsing and our communities are simply overwhelmed.

Enforcement and sentencing

The other end of this axis: Prevention and restraint

Excerpts repeatedly criticize soft-on-crime policies and call for ending catch-and-release bail.

However, under the Liberal government, a catch-and-release bail system allows repeat offenders to cycle in and cycle out of custody, all while our communities suffer the consequences.

Deeper continental integration

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

Excerpts criticize failure to build energy infrastructure needed for trade negotiations with the US.

How does the Liberal Prime Minister expect to negotiate lower tariffs or a better trade deal with the Americans when he refuses to build the very infrastructure that would give Canada unbreakable leverage abroad in the first place?
