Austin Venedam

Libertarian candidate for Rothesay

Affordability

Childcare

Libertarian's promise

Parents are the best caretakers of their children; families should once again be financially able to have a parent stay home for the kids.

Fuel and transportation costs

Libertarian's promise

New Brunswickers pay more than most Canadians for federal fuel regulations, AND pay the province. We should end gas-tax.

Post-secondary

Libertarian's promise

If schools were good at producing educated youth, then in 99% of cases they would be able to survive without government handouts.

Poverty and the minimum wage

Libertarian's promise

Notice how the homeless panhandler isn't allowed to sell canned soda or apples to improve his life? That's government's fault.

Public transit

Libertarian's promise

Large employers, Business Improvement Areas & local Chambers of Commerce should get together to offer free transit to the public...not govt.

Seniors' benefits

Libertarian's promise

Every NB senior paid more into their pension over the years than they will ever get out of it; that's basically due to gov't embezzlement.

Axe ALL The Taxes. Private individuals should have 0% income tax, 0% sales tax, 0% tax across the board like in other countries.

Utility costs

¯\_(ツ)_/¯


This candidate hasn't added policies to VoteMate.
They may still in the future!


Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
Taxation is theft, all government engagement with individuals must be voluntary, people should be free to live without mandates, fees, fines, paperwork and government agents in their way.

Most federal decisions and regulation should instead be provincial decisions for New Brunswickers to decide for themselves.

Most provincial decisions and regulation in New Brunswick should actually be left up to individual municipalities and communities to decide for themselves.

Most municipal decisions and regulation in New Brunswick should be...you guessed it, left up to the individuals and families to decide for themselves.
