PRINCIPLES

Guiding Vision

To help each Nova Scotian achieve their potential.

We need a re-birth of democracy

A reformed voting system where every vote counts and every vote is equal.

A political system with full separation of political powers making it policy forward, answerable to, focused on and involving citizens.

Fully transparent governance.

We need prosperity

A basket of policies that will give Nova Scotia long term growth rates higher than other regions in North America.

Set a hard target to get Nova Scotia off equalization payments making Nova Scotia a 'have' province.

Respecting the diversity of Atlantic Canadians while recognizing our great strength through co-operation both economically and politically.

Steady, gradual reduction in government spending and taxation while maintaining a firm commitment to balanced budgets and debt reduction.

We need freedom

Government must ensure high-quality infrastructure, health care, and education for citizens.

A social safety net that focuses on those who truly require it, one that does not promote unnecessary dependency.

Laws must respect individual freedom while holding the individual responsible for his or her behavior.

The constant improvement of Nova Scotia's economic, environmental, cultural and social conditions within a strong and united Canada.

A political system that encourages and protects individual liberty and freedom.

Policies

Work in progress. You can see our thinking on many issues by viewing discussions on realDebate and in the leader's blog.
