The Canadian government is currently spending $21 billion annually on consultants, which is twice what it spent 10 years ago, amounting to $1,400 per Canadian family, and these consultants are very high-priced extremely wealthy people often paid to do work of little or no value.

Government cannot give anything without first taking it away—it has no money of its own—so every government promise is really a promise to take from people; limited government that 'does a few things right' is better than ambitious government doing 'a lot of things poorly'.

Income tax should be lower because it is 'the fine we pay for the crime of hard work'—every time workers put in more effort, they get punished more through higher taxation.

To balance the budget, Poilievre would implement a hard dollar-for-dollar law requiring any new spending to be met with equal savings, similar to what Bill Clinton implemented in the 1990s when America balanced the budget, paid off $400 billion of debt, and had a booming economy.

Wealthy people and asset holders are 'inflation positive'—they benefit from inflation as their assets increase in value, while the working class loses purchasing power, making inflation a wealth transfer mechanism 'from the have nots to the have yachts'.

Pierre Poilievre comes from very humble beginnings, was adopted by school teachers in Calgary, and built his life from that starting point, unlike Trump who came from an extremely privileged background in a wealthy millionaire family.

Canada is economically declining like a frog in warming water—getting poorer every year—but this decline is a choice and can be reversed immediately by unlocking the power of natural resources and making Canada the fastest place to get permits.

A real-world example: a family from Little Italy came to Canada poor, paid off a downtown Ottawa house in 7 years on the wage of a road construction worker plus the mother making sandwiches at a senior's home, but their grandchildren with more education and better English skills cannot make a down payment in 7 years now.

Having a child with special needs (non-verbal, with communication difficulties) has given Poilievre more empathy for the different challenges and hardships that families have to fight through, and has made him think about how to build a nest egg for his daughter's future and how other less fortunate families with disabled children pay their bills.

The Liberals claim to have gotten rid of the carbon tax for voters but have only hidden it through regulatory command that they can easily reverse if reelected, while the law remains in place and they openly admit they want to increase it on Canadian industry.

Bill C-69 (the environmental assessment law) would strangle businesses' ability to dig mines, build pipelines, and LNG plants, according to major businesses in those sectors, and the Liberals have not committed to substantive permitting reforms needed to speed development.

Poilievre proposes a 'Canada First Reinvestment Tax Cut' offering zero capital gains tax when money from selling a business is reinvested in Canada, creating a tax deferral advantage that would incentivize business owners to keep capital in Canada rather than moving it abroad.

Natural resource exports are Canada's single biggest export sector; when the resource sector fires on all cylinders, it brings the dollar up which increases purchasing power and living standards, and resource companies pay an enormous amount of tax that funds public services.

Trade jobs in Canada can pay $200,000-$300,000 per year, making them incredible opportunities that should be promoted to young people rather than being looked down upon.

The World Economic Forum is an organization with a top-down mentality where a group of globe-trotting experts tell people how to live their lives, which industries should exist, what cars people should drive, and how money should be spent, which Poilievre opposes in favor of distributed decision-making and personal freedom.

Mark Carney incorrectly predicted in 2021 that there would be no inflation and that Canada should print even more money, which proved to be 'utterly wrong' with 'jaw-dropping' human consequences.

When government grows beyond a basic social safety net, it massively transfers wealth from the working class to the extremely rich, contrary to stated progressive intentions—described as 'Robin Hood being kidnapped' where government takes from workers to give to aristocrats.

Government money printing over the last four years has decimated the poor: poverty has increased, 25% of people are in poverty, food bank lineups have increased by over 100%, and one in four children is going to school undernourished.

Most poverty today in Canada is not caused by lack of government assistance but by government actively tilting the scale against the least fortunate through policy choices.

Economist Thomas Sowell's principle that scarcity is the number one rule of economics is often ignored by politicians who externalize scarcity through money printing, taxing, and borrowing, but a hard budget law would internalize scarcity and enforce discipline.
