WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of unaffiliated citizens concerned about Nova Scotians' future. We founded The Atlantica Party in 2006 to propose new and exciting ideas for Nova Scotians, many ideas you will not hear about from the other parties. The Atlantica Party is completely independent, made up of unaffiliated private citizens. We are NOT involved in the Atlantica Free Trade Zone. We are not affiliated with nor receive funding from any corporations, special interest groups, other political parties, or any level of government. And never will.
DEMOCRACY

PROSPERITY
1. A basket of policies that will give Nova Scotia long term growth rates higher than other regions in North America.
2. Set a hard target to get Nova Scotia off equalization payments making Nova Scotia a 'have' province.
3. Respecting the diversity of Atlantic Canadians while recognizing our great strength through co-operation both economically and politically.
4. Steady, gradual reduction in government spending and taxation while maintaining a firm commitment to balanced budgets and debt reduction.
FREEDOM
1. Government must ensure high-quality infrastructure, health care, and education for citizens.
2. A social safety net that focuses on those who truly require it, one that does not promote unnecessary dependency.
3. Laws must respect individual freedom while holding the individual responsible for his or her behavior.
4. The constant improvement of Nova Scotia's economic, environmental, cultural and social conditions within a strong and united Canada.
5. A political system that encourages and protects individual liberty and freedom.
You can see our thinking on many issues by viewing discussions on realDebate and in the leader's blog. Also our old Policy Book from early 2009 is available upon request.
