Key Questions Answered

• •Government scope definition: Government should only handle functions requiring legal force that citizens cannot provide themselves: military, borders, policing, basic infrastructure, and necessities for those unable to provide for themselves, not business subsidies or media funding.
• •Housing affordability strategy: Remove capital gains tax on reinvestments in Canada to unlock capital for productive economy. One blocked pipeline to Northwest BC would generate thirty billion dollars annually in exports, equivalent to fourteen hundred dollars per Canadian family yearly.
• •Immigration integration crisis: Population grows at three percent annually while housing stock, jobs, and healthcare grow at one percent, creating shortages. Mass migration without cultural integration causes people to maintain origin country divisions rather than adopting Canada-first identity.
• •Drug treatment approach: Lock up fentanyl dealers possessing over forty milligrams with murder charges since two milligrams kills. Replace pharmaceutical harm reduction with treatment centers achieving seventy percent first-attempt success rates through complete drug cessation, counseling, exercise, and job placement.
