The Tories, under their Protect Our Canadian Shared Identity plank of their platform, promise to “protect personal autonomy, privacy and data security.”
In addition to banning the dismissal of federal workers based on their vaccination status, the Tories will also halt the current Liberal government’s attempts to move toward mandatory digital ID systems.
Poilievre’s government will also “prohibit the Bank of Canada from developing or implementing a central bank digital currency” and remove the CRA’s home sale reporting requirement.
The Conservative platform also tackles the issue of free speech — including in the media — and promises to protect Canadian history and culture — all of which has been increasingly suppressed under the Carney-Trudeau Liberals.
“Wilfrid Laurier once said, ‘Canada is free, and freedom is its nationality,’” wrote the Tories in their platform.
“But during the lost Liberal decade, freedom of speech has been threatened, history erased, and voices silenced by censorship laws and corporate collusion.”
“A new Conservative government will restore free speech, protect personal liberties, honour our shared story, and promote Canadian culture and history.”
