Political Vision

Cost of Living: Adam criticizes the NDP for failing to improve affordability, highlighting recent tax and rate increases that burden residents. He calls for the elimination of the Carbon Tax and other measures to reduce the cost of living.

Support for Professionals: Adam emphasizes the need to better support healthcare professionals, teachers, and law enforcement officers. He believes in attracting and retaining more doctors and nurses and providing adequate support to ensure these professionals can effectively do their jobs.
