The Short Version
Your time is precious; we get that.
So, here's our elevator pitch...
01
Human Equality
No one chooses when, where, how, or who they're born - and the vast majority of us aren't born ultrawealthy.
​
It's time to put our 'left vs. right' political differences behind us and agree that we share several serious and urgent problems that affect Canadians from every political party.
​
The time has come time for a different kind of 'us vs. them...'
​
These rapidly-worsening problems have now forced our hand: hard-working Canadians demand better living conditions from the billionaires who exploit our labour while evading taxes. While we wait for surgeries, they wait for delivery of their next yacht.
​
It's time for the poorest 99.9% to take the power back from the ultrawealthy.
02
The Future is Now
We've got robots in our factories, artificial intelligence in our cell phones, private spaceships, and nuclear energy flowing through our powerlines.
For the first time in human history, society can produce far more than it needs to merely just survive.
03
Needs of the Many
Since we have more than enough to provide for every Canadian, ethically, we must do exactly that.
Before the ultrawealthy take their billionth helping at the metaphorical buffet, let's make sure every Canadian has already had at least their first helping!
04
First Duty is to Care
A good government prioritizes care for its citizens above the ever-growing bank accounts of the ultrawealthy and above massive corporate profits.
We will drastically increase taxes on the ultrawealthy and their massive corporations and use those additional revenues to provide food and shelter and to expand education, healthcare, and financial supports for all Canadians.
05
Food, Water, Shelter, and Air
Every human needs safe and reliable access to food, water, shelter, and a livable environment to survive. We believe the federal government must guarantee every Canadian these necessities of life - which means providing for these basic needs directly and unconditionally.
​
Access to human necessities must never be dependent on employment status, provided through next year's hypothetical tax rebate, delivered by profit-motivated private organizations, or rely on charitable donations from hard-working Canadians.
06
Education and Healthcare
We can't keep playing yo-yo with education and healthcare budgets to meet changing political agendas. Basic human needs are simply not up for debate.
In addition to food and shelter, we will irrevocably make all education free, including post-secondary, and mandate the national public healthcare system irrevocably expand to include full dental care, pharmacare, vision care, and mental healthcare.
07
Proportional Contribution
The ultrawealthy have benefited from our suffering long enough; it's time they paid their fair share and repaid what they stole.
We will drastically increase taxes (e.g., capital gains and highest bracket income tax) for the ultrawealthy and make fines (e.g., speeding tickets, parking violations, and criminal restitutions) and fees (e.g., building permits, government-issued licenses, and late payment fees) proportional to financial means, to ensure they are fair too.
08
Proportional Representation
In Canada's unbalanced and antiquated electoral system, political parties can somehow form a 'majority government' despite winning less than 40% of the popular vote.
We agree with the NDP, Greens, Bloc Québécois, and even the Communist Party of Canada that a Mixed Member Proportional electoral system (or similar) is needed to ensure all Canadians' voices aren't just 'heard,' but are given direct, proportional power in the Canadian legislature.
