Alberta has overpaid into the federal equalization program a staggering $ 83 billion dollars, 2007 to 2025. PPC believes that some if not all of that money should be returned to Alberta in the form of infrastructure developments. Fort McMurray and our oil sand are the key economic driver of the Canadian Economy. Fort McMurray and Cold Lake are the gateway to the north, Canada economic engine and are strategically positioned in Canada from a national security perspective. PPC believes that Fort McMurray should have an International Airport with a 2nd runway of over 10,000 ft. to accommodate wide body transport planes for both commercial, domestic and national security.
PPC also believes its not too much to ask the federal government for funding, to twin Hwy 28 from Hwy 63 to Edmonton. And build a paved Hwy designated as a heavy haul corridor from Fort McMurray to Grande Prairie, and the Peace region. We believe investments like this are common sense and in the best interest of Alberta and Canada in such uncertain global times. Theses investments are compatible with the PPC Plan to increase Canada’s military budget to 3% of GDP. Elections are about choices. The movement of goods, especially food and agricultural products are vital within Canada.

PPC believes that all immigration should be economic based, that recognizes an immigrant’s credentials from professionals to tech workers, trades workers, other skilled workers and business entrepreneurs. Granting them fast vetted access to Canada, if they are fluent in the English Language. PPC will enact a moratorium of 5 years on unskilled immigrants and the high cost of refugees until Canada fiscal position is back to balance, and we are reducing the federal debt.
The current Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) process is slow, inconsistent, and lacks an appeal mechanism, creating unnecessary barriers for businesses facing critical labour shortages.

PPC People’s Party of Canada has the boldest policy platform in the 2025 Federal Election to grow the Canadian economy. Canada has been in economic decline since the turn of this Century. 2005 to 2015 minimal GDP growth 1.4% and 2015 to 2025 1.3% GDP growth. Starting at the top, PPC plans to cut and right size the Federal Government from the current 35 ministry departments down to 18 ministry departments. This needed reform will automatically cut wasteful spending and reduce costly unnecessary regulation (red tape) that is choking our economy. According to the Treasury Department there were 367,772 federal employees 2024. A 43% increase since 2015 under a liberal government. The Conservatives voted for the liberals massive covid spending, and new unconstitutional programs that intrude on Alberta’s provincial jurisdiction. That increased our federal debt to $1.4 Trillion from $640 Billion thus bloating the size of our federal government. Of the G35 countries Canada has the costliest government at 62% per person of GDP. PPC pledges to lower the cost of government to the G35 average of 24% per person of GDP by 2030.
PPC will create a new Department of Government Downsizing within a new Ministry of Electoral Reform, Rightsizing Government and the Senate. Eliminate the deficit and balance the budget within a year of taking office. By drastically cutting budgets and eliminating wasteful programs like corporate welfare, foreign aid, equalization payments, the Canada Infrastructure Bank, the Strategic Innovation fund and all other programs that duplicate provincial programs or intrude on provincial jurisdiction.
PPC government is committed to giving full autonomy to the provinces and granting the provinces control of revenue collections and disbursements to help reign in Federal wasteful spending. With the provinces controlling the budgeting process and monetary allocations to the federal government. PPC will enact balance budget and debt control legislation on the federal government to focus spending on core federal jurisdictions and responsibilities.
PPC Cutting Red Tape is a major priority of the People’s Party. Currently our economy is plagued by costly and excessive regulations that can be felt through our whole economy top to bottom costing approximately $15 billion annually.
PPC is fully committed to major tax reform both corporate and domestic to drive investment here in Canada. Taxes plain and simple are a wage cut and an economic investment deterrent! In the end creates a lower living standard and collapses business investment.
PPC will eliminate all corporate welfare in favour of one flat corporate tax rate in Canada to attract resource industries, tech industries and bring manufacturing back to Canada. Corporate Tax Rate of 15%. PPC has pledged NO Capital Gains Tax. NO Carbon Taxation. NO Tax on Overtime Work. Lower Personal Income Tax, only 3 tax brackets. NO Tax on CPP and EI.
