For those who have read my book “Pilgrimage for an OM” you already know that it walks the reader through my educational and professional choices in life.
In my previous newsletter, I announced that I was seeking the Prime Ministership of Canada in the next election.
For those non-Canadians reading this newsletter, it is typically a 4-year term.
As I listen to fellow Canadians of all ages and backgrounds converse with each other about the issues they are most frustrated with, they mirror my own.
It is not my goal to make campaign promises.
I want to speak clearly and openly on what issues can reasonably be addressed in a short 4-year term, while also understanding and appreciating that there are many more concerns to address.
With the astronomical cost of living in Canada and rising food costs, parents and students alike are more concerned then ever before on how they will cover public post-secondary education tuition costs, which ultimately leads to more student (or parent) debt. If you travel, you already know that there are many examples around the world where countries cover the cost of public post-secondary education for its citizens in exchange for time back. A model like this would benefit of all Canadians.
How do we change the outdated Canadian education system while ensuring the longevity of our professional and medical standards?
We achieve this by building a team of students, professors, medical professionals, accountants and lawyers
~ the very best Canada has to offer ~
to complete a study on behalf of all Canadians and to begin the implementation of free public post-secondary education standards across Canada. In exchange for tuition expenses covered, we ensure the longevity of our excellent education standards and system. Covering tuition costs will ensure our trained Canadian professionals give back to their countrymen for the betterment and long-term care of all Canadians.
2. High-speed electric trains to connect Canadians and attract tourism revenue:
Canada is an incredibly beautiful country, each province boasting its own unique offerings to explore. From the rocky mountains to the peaceful prairies, the beautiful landscape of Ontario and Quebec or the charm of the east coast – there is a lot to enjoy. The problem is that we do not offer high speed electric trains across Canada as a cost-effective means of getting people around, attracting tourism revenue to help ease the GST burden. In fact, many Canadians have never left their province because they cannot afford to. Imagine never getting to see the country you helped build. There are many countries around the world that are connected through high-speed electric trains. If you travel, you already know this. Trains not only allow their citizens to move around easily, but they also create purposeful jobs, attract tourism revenue, and considers the environment by taking more vehicles off the roads. We do not need more carbon tax in Canada. We need to start thinking about long-term goals for all Canadians and future Canadians. It is our job to take care of future generations. I am always speaking about “ancillary tax revenue” – and we find it here.
3. Stimulating our Economy:
Like many Canadians, I have been hurt financially with high inflation, the housing crisis and the general uncertainty around the future of my country. It is disheartening when we see young professionals leaving Canada because they cannot live on what they make, and some are making incredibly healthy salaries.
How can we re-direct this?
The solution is in finding creative ways to re-distribute tax revenue and determine where spending can be shifted. My goal is to ~ by 1% each year ~ relieve Canadians of the burden the GST has placed on everyone to help stimulate our economy. For those of my generation and older, you will remember that It was originally promised to be a temporary tax. This will need to happen slowly, but with strategic planning and open communication with Canadians, it can be achieved.
4. Universal Basic Income:
It is an embarrassment to all Canadians that in 2024 we have a homeless (unhoused) crisis on our hands. Being a 5th generation Canadian and having lived in 5-provinces (so-far), I find it a national embarrassment that tourists and visitors see homelessness when they visit us. What about women who are living in abusive relationships who have no means of leaving? What about single parents who are struggling to feed their families? What about students who are trying to make ends meet who cannot live at home? What about those who lose their jobs when the large corporations they work for shut down operations?
I believe everyone should have a basic level of living. For those who have the drive to do more for themselves, those people always will pursue better. A basic level of support keeps everyone on a level playing field, ensuring every Canadian can feed themselves, provide a home for their family and freedom for their own well-being should they need it. Yes, Canadians love to work and contribute to their society and economy. Providing a basic universal income helps us solve many outdated social programs and provides dignity to all Canadians.
Being Canadian means something.
We, Canada, the example to the rest of the world how it can and how it does work.
