We just got the Canadian Future Party, and even though I'm pretty left leaning (both financially and socially), it gives me some faith for conservatives here.

The Canadian Future Party (CFP; French: Parti avenir canadien, PAC) is a minor federal political party in Canada that was officially launched in 2024. It describes itself as being politically centrist, campaigning on a fiscally conservative and socially liberal platform.

That made me audibly groan, along with this:

  • Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight
  • Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories
  • Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but this seems like a recipe for laissez-faire capitalism that will eventually end in a collective shrug, a few golden parachutes, and a recession. Canada does not need more centrism.

Translation:

Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight

Privatise profits, socialise losses

Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories

Lower overall taxes, austerity

Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered

End climate-protecting subsidies

Point #3 also includes closing government owned entities like the post office.

Right, and I also forgot privatising things like water and then let them shut off water for poor people who cannot pay like in Chile.

Their platform made me roll my eyes a bit, the only fiscal conservative that makes sense is when you tax billionaires out of existence. Fiscal conservatism that taxes the poor and doesn’t give them benefits is more neocon bullshit
