As you learned in my last post, long live the Queen, Canada runs as a parliamentary democracy. And as a part of that there are parties within Canada that you and I support and possibly vote for. But are the current parties doing enough? I don’t think they are. So a group of people; Alex O, Alex V, Liam, Jordyn and I decided to create our own party. The Ubiquitous party of Canada.

Why ubiquitous you might ask? Well we take ideas from both sides of the spectrum to create a new voice. One that not only believes in change but has steps to accomplish it. Our party has 2 main focussed;  Universal Basic income, and truth and reconciliation. So let’s break that down.

Universal Basic Income or UBI is when, as a government, we would provide money to each adult citizen every month. We believe that this would improve the economy and help households stabilize. In order to get the money for this we would reform taxes as well as set tariffs for big companies.

One of the problems that we see today is aboutTruth and Reconciliation. In Canada we have something known as the 94 calls to action that was published in 2015 as a way to step tin the right direction. As of 2021, 14 of those have been completed. As a way to build on this and give more power to aboriginal communities our party has decided to guarantee them a seat. To do this we went with population representation. For those of you who don’t know 5% of Canadians are indigenous. If you do the math that would guarantee them 15 seats in parliament. This will help to give a voice to those communities and would contribute towards a self-governing future.

As a party we are headed towards the future, with realistic goals. Look forward to my next post about our political campaign where we will release our first campaign video! vote Ubiquitous party of Canada.
