This is a page from the 2019 Canadian general election.
Agriculture & Food
Treatment of farm animals
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
APPC believes Canada should nourish green energy production and technology which supports these methods becoming refined and accessible.
Fossil fuel subsidies
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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
Shelby Bertrand's promise
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.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This candidate hasn't added policies to VoteMate.
They may still in the future!
