        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:

          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

        No point fighting. Just remember its the same people that don’t understand a scholarship only for “people of color” is by definition racist. If a “white people” only scholarship is racist so is the one for people of color.

          Are you pretending to misunderstand because you’re a racist, or do you actually misunderstand because you’re an idiot?
