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.
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

Translation:
Privatise profits, socialise losses
Lower overall taxes, austerity
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.
thank you for translating these from corpo
