Government Accountability and Transparency

There should be legislation enforced by an independent body to ensure that politicians are truthful, transparent, and open in their conduct. Penalties should apply to those found guilty of lying, deception, or misconduct.

Ministers must be held accountable for the policies they implement and the actions of their departments. Similarly, the government should be held to the same standards of financial accountability as the citizens of Canada.

The Ethics Commissioner should have access to stronger punitive measures and operate with complete impartiality. Additionally, officials such as the Auditor General, Chief Electoral Officer, Comptroller General, Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, and Privacy Commissioner should serve fixed terms and remain independent from government influence.

An independent system should oversee all significant government expenditures to promote accountability and transparency.

Government services should be streamlined to eliminate waste, unnecessary overlap, and duplication both between levels of government and within various federal departments.

It is crucial that the government be held accountable for its fiscal responsibility. Legislation should mandate that governments maintain a balanced budget, with only limited exceptions for national emergencies or other rare and unforeseen circumstances. This would ensure that government spending remains sustainable and that future generations are not saddled with excessive debt. Maintaining a balanced budget is essential for ensuring long-term economic stability and protecting the financial well-being of Canadians.

The government should take a clear stance against subsidizing green technologies, such as with electric cars. While these technologies may be important for future sustainability, they should not rely on taxpayer-funded subsidies. Instead, market forces and innovation should drive the adoption and success of these technologies, ensuring that taxpayers are not burdened with funding industry initiatives that may not be financially viable in the long term.

In terms of legislative practices, ALL votes in the House of Commons should be free votes, allowing Members of Parliament (MPs) to vote based on their personal convictions rather than party lines. This would promote a more transparent and representative government, where elected officials can truly serve the interests of their constituents rather than being pressured by party discipline.

The process for selecting Senators should be reformed. Senators should be elected, giving the Canadian people a direct say in who represents them in the upper house. This would increase the legitimacy and accountability of the Senate, ensuring that Senators are more responsive to the public and reflective of democratic principles.

Another important reform is the elimination of tax measures designed to buy votes. Political parties should prioritize equality and fairness in their policies, rather than using tax incentives and subsidies to secure favor and win votes. Tax policies should be crafted to benefit all citizens equally, with a focus on long-term economic health rather than short-term political gain.

Canada needs electoral reform to move away from the first-past-the-post system. To achieve this, a national survey should be conducted to gather public input on potential alternatives. The selection of a new electoral system should be informed by a thorough analysis of all available data, including the survey results, ensuring the chosen system reflects the needs and preferences of Canadians.

In addition, foreign contributions to elections must be strictly prohibited to protect the integrity of the democratic process. Safeguarding elections from external influence ensures that decision-making remains exclusively in the hands of Canadian voters.

Furthermore, collaboration between third parties during elections should not be allowed. This measure would promote fairness and transparency, preventing undue influence or coordinated efforts that could undermine the democratic process.

Fiscal and Economic Policy

The federal government should sell all unused and unnecessary land and buildings to reduce waste and make better use of resources. Addressing housing affordability requires lowering demand by adjusting immigration policies, including reducing the intake of temporary foreign workers, foreign exchange students, and refugees. At the same time, local governments must take responsibility for housing, as it is not directly a federal matter. Restrictions on foreign home ownership should be implemented to ensure Canadians have greater access to housing.

Government workers make good money but they should not be getting rich off of the taxpayers and if an employee’s net worth seems to be growing too quickly for their salary, then there should be an automatic audit. Also, any businesses owned by a government employee (MP, Senator, etc.) prior to being hired will have to transfer ownership or find other alternatives to avoid making decisions based on potential personal gain. The other way to ensure that government employees are in their roles for the right reason would be to give them a pay-cut and only raise the wages based on inflation and not a set percentage and have pensions similar to those found in the private sector.

Financial policies need significant reform to promote economic fairness and sustainability. The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) should be managed more effectively to ensure seniors receive adequate support. Income splitting should be allowed to provide tax relief for families, while capital gains taxes should be reduced to 15%, with exemptions for principal residences, small family businesses/farms (0%), or reinvestments of the difference (0%). Simplifying the tax code and reducing the number of tax brackets to three would streamline the system, making it fairer and easier to navigate. Income tax should be reduced to three levels—10%, 20%, and 30%—while corporate tax should be lowered to 15%. Once the deficit is gone and the debt starts going down, we will switch income tax to a flat rate, which will be lowered once the debt is paid off.

Any federal projects that require consulting or other businesses/organizations must be done reasonably and with independent oversight to ensure money is not wasted and that no favouritism occurs.

The majority of people work hard for their money and to help workers keep more of that hard-earned money, there should be no tax on overtime or tips.

Payroll taxes should only cover the funding required for Employment Insurance, and efforts to close tax loopholes should continue.

Subsidies should be significantly reduced or eliminated to encourage a more competitive and efficient economy, and the carbon tax should be abolished. Crown corporations that directly compete with private companies, such as CBC and Canada Post, should be privatized. Additionally, supply management systems should be phased out to establish a free market, with farmers compensated for any lost value in their quotas.

Corporate welfare and bailouts should be eliminated to foster a fairer economic environment where businesses succeed or fail based on market forces rather than government intervention. Essential maternity and newborn items should be exempt from federal taxes, easing the financial burden on families during critical life stages.

On a broader economic scale, Canada must focus on paying down the national debt to secure long-term financial stability. By adopting prudent fiscal management now, more resources will be available in the future to fund essential services. The Bank of Canada’s inflation target of 2% should also be reviewed, with a goal of lowering it to 0% to stabilize purchasing power over time.

Equalization payments should be re-evaluated to ensure they are directed only to provinces truly in need. The formula should discourage dependency on federal funding and incentivize provinces to adopt economic policies that encourage growth and smart spending. To further ease the financial burden on Canadians, federal taxes should not apply to used items, focusing instead on real property such as land and buildings. These comprehensive reforms aim to create a more efficient, fair, and sustainable economic system.

All provinces must sign onto the Constitution or not receive the benefits therein and will only be treated as a friendly trading partner until they sign.

The maximum Employment Insurance (EI) benefit maximum term should be extended to 52 weeks, providing greater financial security for those facing prolonged periods of unemployment. Additionally, the GST/HST collection threshold for small businesses, which has remained at $30,000 since the early 1990s, should be adjusted annually for inflation. This change would reflect the evolving economic environment and ease the administrative burden on small businesses.

Public sector job opportunities must be awarded based solely on merit, ensuring that the best-qualified candidates are chosen without consideration of factors such as gender or race. This approach promotes fairness and competence within government roles. Similarly, the benefits, pensions, and pay for public sector employees should align with those offered in the private sector to ensure equity and sustainability.

Federal employees should not be working from home to ensure productivity and transparency. Once it is determined how much work can be done, eliminate any jobs that are not required.

Canada should fulfill its NATO agreement commitment by allocating 2% of its GDP to defense spending. This move would strengthen the nation’s role in global security and demonstrate its commitment to international agreements.

These measures aim to create a more equitable, efficient, and sustainable system that supports individuals, businesses, and the nation as a whole.

Immigration and Citizenship

Immigration to Canada should be temporarily suspended, with limited exceptions for individuals deemed essential to Canadian society, such as doctors. Immigrants allowed entry would only be permitted to bring their spouse and minor children to ensure a manageable and sustainable process. To uphold Canadian values, in-person interviews should be conducted with all potential immigrants to evaluate their alignment with the country's principles and expectations.

Immigrants should bear the financial responsibility for their relocation and integration, with no federal funding provided for their support. To further ensure successful integration, immigrants must demonstrate proficiency in English or French through a basic language test prior to their arrival. Canada should also reject the Global Compact for Migration to maintain sovereignty over its immigration policies.

Individuals residing in Canada illegally or with expired visas should face deportation to maintain the integrity of immigration laws. Additionally, Canadian citizenship should no longer be automatically granted to babies born in Canada unless at least one parent is already a citizen. Temporary foreign workers should be restricted to roles deemed absolutely necessary, such as those in critical industries like agriculture, ensuring these programs serve vital societal needs. To that end, there should be no government subsidies and the entire cost would be put onto the ones hiring them.

The acceptance of refugees should be based solely on Canadian decisions rather than recommendations from international bodies like the United Nations. Refugees would not automatically be granted permanent residence or citizenship and should return to their home countries once it is deemed safe for them to do so.

Canada’s foreign policy should prioritize national interests by avoiding involvement in foreign wars unless defending an ally from a direct attack. Furthermore, the country should withdraw from all United Nations commitments, councils, and agreements to maintain its autonomy in global matters. These measures are designed to strengthen Canada's sovereignty, ensure responsible immigration, and prioritize the nation’s welfare.

Social Policy and Individual Rights

Canada should reject any form of universal income, such as Universal Basic Income (UBI), with the exception of programs that individuals have contributed to, like the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). This ensures that income support remains tied to contributions made by individuals, maintaining the integrity of the system.

Parental rights must be protected, and no person or institution should have the authority to interfere with how parents choose to raise their children, except in cases of legal due process. This principle emphasizes the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding their children's upbringing without unnecessary government intervention.

Individuals should retain the right to refuse vaccines without facing penalties or discrimination. This right supports personal autonomy and ensures that people are not forced to make medical decisions against their will.

Canada must honor and respect its veterans, acknowledging the immense sacrifices they have made for the country. Veterans should receive the support they deserve, and it is unacceptable to tell them that they are asking for too much. Their contributions must be recognized, and their needs addressed with the utmost respect and care.

Biological males should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, use women’s bathrooms, locker rooms, or be placed in women’s jails. Female specific spaces and opportunities should be preserved for those who were born female, ensuring fairness and safety in these settings and the same for males in their respective spaces.

Federal funding should not be allocated for gender transition surgeries or care, as these procedures are viewed as cosmetic. Gender transition is a personal choice and should not be subsidized by taxpayers.

It should also be illegal to administer puberty blockers, hormones, or surgeries to minors for the purpose of transitioning to another sex. This policy ensures the protection of children from irreversible medical procedures, while still allowing for appropriate care for those who are intersex, as their situation is not defined by a single gender.

Student loan policies must also be reformed to better support young Canadians. There should be a full year without interest for student loans to alleviate the financial pressure on students. Additionally, the income and asset levels of parents should no longer be considered when applying for student loans, allowing students to have access to financial aid based on their individual circumstances. Furthermore, the interest on student lines of credit should be tax-deductible, providing students with more financial relief as they enter the workforce.

Federal policies must also align with the principles of free speech and respect for individuals. There should be no federal funding for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs or gender ideology initiatives. Furthermore, any organization, such as universities, that supports DEI or gender ideology, or that does not uphold free speech, should lose access to federal funding unless they revise their policies to align with Canadian values.

There should be a repeal of several controversial bills, including Bill C-4 (conversion therapy), Bill C-16 (gender self-identification), Bill C-48 (bail reform), Bill C-69 (budget 2024), Bill C-71 (citizenship), Bill C-21 (firearms), Bill C-11 (broadcasting), and M-103 (Islamophobia). These bills are seen as infringing upon personal freedoms and should be overturned to protect Canadian rights.

The definition of “hate speech” should be narrowly restricted to expressions that advocate violence or force against identifiable groups or individuals. This ensures that freedom of expression is protected while still addressing harmful behavior that threatens the safety and rights of others. In line with this, any legislation that limits free expression, whether online or in print, should be repealed. Canadians should have the right to express their opinions freely without fear of censorship, fostering a more open and democratic society.

In terms of energy policy, Canada should focus on expanding clean energy, particularly nuclear power, which is a reliable and efficient source of energy. There should be no subsidies for wind, solar, hydroelectric, or others, as these industries should compete in the marketplace based on their ability to deliver results without taxpayer support.

The government should also eliminate corporate welfare and bailouts. Companies that are struggling should be encouraged to adapt to changing market conditions or face the consequences of market forces. This approach promotes economic resilience and innovation, as businesses will be incentivized to remain competitive and efficient without relying on government intervention.

Self-defence laws in Canada should be strengthened to ensure that individuals defending themselves or others are not unfairly charged. Additionally, the burden of proof for charges related to self-defence should be increased to protect individuals who act in good faith to prevent harm. The "castle doctrine" should be adopted, allowing individuals to use force to defend themselves or others against intruders in their own homes. Furthermore, individuals should be allowed to carry items for self-defence, such as pepper spray or firearms, under specific circumstances.

Healthcare professionals should have the right to refuse to perform procedures that go against their personal beliefs, such as abortions, medical assistance in dying (MAID), or other practices that conflict with their values. This respects individual conscience and ensures that professionals are not forced to engage in practices they consider morally wrong.

​I will continue to advocate against medical mandates, as they contravene everyone's individual rights. People should be able to make decisions that are in their own best interest. We have seen the terrible consequences of the lock downs, school shut downs, mask and vaccine mandates, and more from those years and we cannot allow those things to happen again.

The Multiculturalism Act should be repealed, as it may encourage division rather than unity. Canada should focus on fostering a shared national identity that transcends ethnic and cultural differences, promoting integration and mutual respect among all Canadians.

Regarding environmental policy, CO2 should no longer be vilified as a harmful contributor to climate change. It is important to acknowledge the benefits of CO2 for plant life and recognize that its role in global climate patterns is complex and multifaceted. Canada should not be part of a narrative that demonizes CO2 without considering the full scientific picture.

Eliminate section 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, where it states that rights and freedoms can be limited. There should never be any instances of limiting Canadians’ rights or freedoms outside of something drastic, such as riots or civil war.

Furthermore, no one should be coerced into endorsing government ideologies in order to gain employment or access benefits. This principle upholds individual freedoms and prevents government overreach into personal beliefs and values.

Lastly, to combat disinformation, news outlets on various sites should be allowed to operate freely without requiring them to pay for access. Ensuring a free flow of information is vital for a functioning democracy, and citizens should have unrestricted access to news from multiple sources to form their own opinions and make informed decisions.

These policies aim to enhance personal freedoms, promote fairness, and ensure that government actions are aligned with the values and needs of Canadian society.

Public Services and Infrastructure

The government should prioritize expanding passenger rail services, including high-speed rail, but without using taxpayer money to fund these projects. Private sector involvement can help meet the demand for enhanced transportation while minimizing the financial burden on the public. This approach would allow for the growth of infrastructure without depending on public funds, ensuring a balance between innovation and fiscal responsibility.

A portion of the federal gas tax should be allocated back to the provinces and territories to support their infrastructure projects. This would allow local governments to directly benefit from the funds generated by their citizens, ensuring that the money is used to improve roads, bridges, and other essential infrastructure, which is key to supporting economic growth.

Canada must also take proactive steps to ensure the construction of pipelines by utilizing the full power of the Constitution. The development of energy infrastructure is crucial for the country’s economic growth and energy security, and legal mechanisms should be leveraged to overcome any political or bureaucratic barriers that hinder pipeline construction.

In line with protecting fundamental rights, there should be an expansion of the right to free expression within the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to explicitly include "freedom of speech." This would safeguard individuals' rights to voice their opinions without undue interference, reinforcing Canada's commitment to protecting civil liberties in an evolving society.

Improving border crossings is also essential to ensure the smooth flow of both people and goods. Long wait times at borders can disrupt trade and travel, so investments should be made to enhance the efficiency of border facilities, allowing for quicker processing and better service for both citizens and businesses.

Canada’s military capabilities need significant investment to address issues with outdated equipment and underfunding. Increasing military spending will ensure that the Armed Forces are well-equipped and ready to defend the country. This investment is necessary for the security of Canada and its allies and will strengthen the country’s role on the world stage.

Moreover, greater autonomy should be granted to the territories, allowing them to take on more responsibilities similar to the provinces. This would empower local governments to make decisions that best reflect the needs of their communities, improving governance and fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility among residents.

To enhance trade and economic growth, interprovincial trade barriers must be eliminated, including restrictions on the movement of alcohol between provinces. This would create a more integrated market across Canada, benefiting consumers and businesses alike by reducing costs and increasing access to products and services.

Finally, the provinces should be required to apply the principle of mutual recognition, ensuring that products, services, and workers who meet regulatory standards in one province can be trusted to meet those same standards in other provinces. Using Section 91(2) of the Criminal Code to enforce this principle would streamline trade, reduce unnecessary red tape, and foster a more efficient national economy.

These measures aim to improve Canada’s infrastructure, economic integration, military readiness, and civil liberties, promoting a more efficient, fair, and secure country.

Law and Order

Mandatory minimum sentences should be enforced for repeat offenders, adopting a system similar to the "three-strike" rule. This approach ensures that individuals who repeatedly commit crimes face appropriate consequences, helping to deter habitual criminal behavior. Additionally, criminal use of firearms should carry mandatory minimum sentences, as the unlawful use of firearms poses a serious threat to public safety and requires strict penalties.

For those convicted of multiple serious offenses, sentences should be served consecutively. In cases involving multiple convictions for violent offenses or organized crime, individuals should be labeled as dangerous offenders, subject to a mandatory life sentence.

Violence against pregnant women should also carry additional consequences. If a pregnant woman’s fetus is also harmed or killed, further charges should be laid against the offender, acknowledging the additional harm caused to both the mother and the unborn child.

Property rights should be explicitly added to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, strengthening legal protections for individuals' property and further defining personal freedoms.

Private property rights should also be respected in terms of firearm use. Landowners should have the right to allow the use of any legal firearm on their property, provided it is done in a safe manner and away from public spaces, such as roadways and neighboring properties. This respect for property rights would enable responsible firearm use while maintaining safety. Furthermore, firearms should be classified solely based on their function. Fully automatic firearms would be prohibited, handguns would be restricted regardless of barrel length, and all other firearms would be categorized as non-restricted. This also means that all of the Liberal bans would be reversed and expanded to allow firearms and accessories into Canada that were previously prohibited.

Firearms licenses, after passing a safety course, would be valid for life. This will save money, time, and headache for those who renew their licences or forget to as it is now.

There should be no arbitrary limits on firearm magazine capacity, and firearm accessories should not be restricted as long as they do not alter a firearm to become fully automatic or change a non-restricted firearm into a restricted one. Any future regulations concerning firearms should only be made through Parliament, ensuring that changes are democratic and representative of public opinion.

These firearm changes would be made by repealing the Firearms Act and any related legislation and regulations and combining it all into one comprehensive and simple Act.

Self-defence laws in Canada should be strengthened to ensure that individuals defending themselves or others are not unfairly charged. Additionally, the burden of proof for charges related to self-defence should be increased to protect individuals who act in good faith to prevent harm. The "castle doctrine" should be adopted, allowing individuals to use force to defend themselves or others against intruders in their own homes. Furthermore, individuals should be allowed to carry items for self-defence, such as pepper spray or firearms, under specific circumstances.

A national missing persons database should be established, integrated with the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and DNA databanks to provide more efficient and accessible information for investigations. This would significantly enhance efforts to locate missing persons and solve related cases.

The right to refuse services based on religious or moral grounds should be protected. Individuals and organizations should be exempt from discrimination claims under human rights laws if they choose not to participate in activities that conflict with their deeply held beliefs. This ensures the protection of personal freedoms and the right to act according to one's conscience.

Harassing phone calls, including those made from digital sources, should be included in Section 372 (3) of the Criminal Code of Canada, expanding the scope of harassment laws to include modern communication methods. This would help address the growing issue of digital harassment and provide legal recourse for victims.

Judges should have access to the criminal history of individuals appearing before them. This would allow for more informed sentencing and help ensure that repeat offenders face appropriate penalties for their actions and let judges decide if jail should be a last resort or not.

Prisons and inmates should be managed in a way that minimizes taxpayer burden. This could include cost controls and income-earning opportunities for inmates, helping them gain valuable skills and experience that will aid their reintegration into society upon release. By focusing on rehabilitation and preparing inmates for life after incarceration, this approach aims to reduce recidivism and support a more productive society.

These proposed measures aim to strengthen public safety, ensure justice for victims, and protect individual rights, all while promoting fairness and efficiency within Canada’s legal and correctional systems.

Foreign Relations and Trade

Canada should take a strong stance in its diplomatic relations by relocating its embassy in Israel to the capital, Jerusalem. This move would align with Canada’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and strengthen the country’s support for Israel’s sovereignty. Such a step would demonstrate Canada’s commitment to standing by its international allies in the region.

In terms of foreign policy, Canada should end its cooperation with the Chinese military. Given the increasing concerns over China’s military expansion and its human rights record, it is vital for Canada to reassess its involvement with China in matters related to military engagement. This would ensure that Canada is not complicit in activities that may undermine international security or human rights.

Furthermore, China’s increasing influence over Canadian companies and industries should be curtailed. Canada should ban Chinese ownership of Canadian companies and prohibit the purchase of sensitive technologies by Chinese entities. Protecting Canadian industries and ensuring national security are critical priorities, and limiting foreign influence in key sectors is a necessary step toward safeguarding Canadian interests.

Canada should also work to reduce international trade barriers and tariffs. By doing so, the country would ensure that its businesses are receiving fair deals in global trade, fostering stronger economic relationships with other nations. In line with this, Canada should be open to expanding trade with numerous countries, provided that agreements are mutually beneficial and fair for all parties involved.

In terms of foreign aid, Canada should end its foreign development assistance programs. While these programs are designed to support countries in need, Canada should reassess its priorities and ensure that its resources are used to directly benefit its own citizens. This would allow Canada to focus on domestic issues and strengthen its economy and infrastructure.

Canada should also withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord, as the agreement has placed significant burdens on the Canadian economy. By leaving the accord, Canada would regain more control over its environmental policies, ensuring that the country’s actions are in the best interests of its economy, industries, and citizens, without undue external pressure.

Canada should withdraw from all United Nations commitments, councils, and other international obligations that do not align with the country’s best interests. By doing so, Canada can maintain its sovereignty and make decisions based on the specific needs and priorities of its own people, rather than being tied to global organizations that may not always reflect those interests.

At the same time, Canada should honor its NATO agreement and ensure that it meets its commitment to contributing 2% of its GDP to the alliance. This would demonstrate Canada’s continued support for collective defense and global security, reinforcing its role as a responsible member of NATO.

Lastly, Canada should work towards creating a travel arrangement that allows for visa-free visits to the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Strengthening ties with these countries and removing visa requirements would enhance trade, tourism, and cultural exchange, benefiting both Canada and its allies.

These measures collectively aim to position Canada as a more independent, economically secure, and globally strategic nation, focused on protecting its interests and enhancing its diplomatic relationships.

Health Care and Education

Canada’s healthcare system is currently facing significant challenges, and it is crucial to explore alternatives to improve its functionality and efficiency. One potential solution is to work toward a mixed healthcare system that combines both private and public healthcare. By allowing private sector involvement alongside the public system, we could reduce wait times, increase access to care, and encourage competition that could drive improvements in service delivery.

In line with improving Canada’s healthcare autonomy, we should withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) and rely more heavily on Canadian experts. This would allow Canada to make healthcare decisions based on its own needs and circumstances, rather than being beholden to international organizations that may not fully understand or prioritize our country's unique healthcare challenges.

Additionally, all vaccine mandates should be repealed. The government should introduce legislation that prevents discrimination based on vaccine status, including measures such as vaccine passports. Individuals should have the right to make personal health decisions without fear of losing access to services, employment, or travel opportunities. This legislation would protect personal freedoms and ensure that Canadians are not penalized for their medical choices.

Healthcare professionals must also have the right to refuse to perform procedures that conflict with their personal beliefs. This includes services like abortion, medical assistance in dying (MAID), and other medical practices that go against their ethical or moral convictions. Allowing healthcare workers the freedom to make these decisions ensures respect for their rights and encourages a healthcare environment that upholds individual conscience.

Furthermore, it is essential that higher-risk workers, such as doctors, nurses, police officers, paramedics, etc., be informed if they have been exposed to infectious diseases by an individual, such as HIV. Their right to know about potential exposures should supersede the privacy rights of the individual who is carrying the disease. This is akin to the responsibility of employers to inform workers about exposure to hazardous materials, and it ensures that those in high-risk professions can take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their colleagues.

By adopting these measures, Canada can create a healthcare system that is more responsive, equitable, and respectful of personal rights while ensuring the safety and well-being of both healthcare workers and the general public.

Indigenous Policy

One of the most pressing issues facing First Nations communities in Canada is the lack of access to clean drinking water. Despite repeated promises over many years, many communities continue to face challenges in accessing this basic necessity. It is imperative that the government fulfills its commitment to providing clean drinking water to all First Nations communities. This would not only improve the health and well-being of community members but also foster a sense of trust and partnership between First Nations and the government.

In addition to addressing the immediate needs of these communities, a longer-term solution requires a fundamental shift in governance. The Indian Act, which currently governs the relationship between the federal government and First Nations, has been widely criticized for perpetuating dependency and limiting opportunities for growth and self-determination. It is time to replace the Indian Act with new legislation that empowers First Nations communities to become more self-reliant. This new framework should promote property rights, enhance ownership opportunities, and encourage economic independence, helping communities build sustainable futures. By shifting the focus toward self-sufficiency and local control, First Nations communities will be better positioned to thrive and contribute to Canada’s broader societal and economic development.
