Shelby Bertrand

Agriculture & Food

Treatment of farm animals

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

Animal agriculture subjects animals to discomfort and suffering and regards them as objects humans ought to squeeze utility from. Its products are unnecessary, decadent, and pollute the earth. APPC would carefully but immediately phase out animal agriculture.

Education & Training

Post-secondary education

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

APPC sees a good education as an investment for the betterment of a people- not a privilege. APPC would fully fund school, from kindergarten to post-secondary including both academic fields and trades.

Environment, Climate Change, & Energy

Emissions targets

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

APPC plans to steer Canada away from dependence on industries like oil, gas, and animal agriculture in a way that supports those currently employed in these areas and meets 2030 targets.

APPC is aware that the window of opportunity has passed for transitions to a green Canada that don’t involve what UN scientists called “transformative change”.

Energy production

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

APPC believes Canada should nourish green energy production and technology which supports these methods becoming refined and accessible.

Fossil fuel subsidies

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

Fossil fuel subsidies, such as those for pipelines, under APPC policy would be immediately diverted to the development of renewable energy and green food production.

Green government operations

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

Talking of “Green government policy” is misleading. Green operations should not be segregated in government. A green Canada would affect the agriculture, the economy, wildlife, and many other departments. Hence, all departments should technically involve green operations.

Waste & pollution

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

Problems such as plastic pollution, chemical run-off, and air pollution call for urgent attention. APPC supports the development and refinery of technologies that would offer solutions to these problems as soon as possible.

Government & Democracy

Electoral reform

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

If elected, APPC would make strategic voting a thing of the past by changing Canada’s electoral system to proportional representation, allowing everyone’s vote to truly represent their views.

Housing

Housing supply

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

There need to be more affordable housing units, like co-ops, in Ottawa. I would utilize unused space, such as Lebreton Flats, and use the funds gained by means of wealth redistribution, such as taxing the richest few.

Indirectly, or ultimately, I would strive to tackle the roots of housing struggles by targeting societal problems like inequality via the other methods and systems for a better world in the APPC platform, such as better health care and universal basic income

Illicit Drugs & Overdoses

Decriminalization of drugs

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

Criminalizing addiction only worsens the personal situation of addicts, stifling recovery.

APPC understands addiction is not part of personal character. It is a complex condition that cannot be understood without considering the person’s physical and mental health, and broader life circumstances.

Opioid crisis

Promesse de Shelby Bertrand

In line with APPC’s general attitude towards drug use, I would make sure to nourish the practice of safe injection sites in Ottawa Centre to help combat the opioid crisis.
