Principles and policies
The Canadian Nationalist Party defines various policies, ranging from both left-wing and right-wing positions, that aim to elevate the prosperity of Canada and its political, economic and cultural sovereignty.[4] Program highlights include abolishing the income tax for unmarried citizens earning less than $35,000/year or those married and jointly earning less than $70,000/year, and eligibility of newlywed couples for a marriage loan, 20% of which is forgiven with each common child. It also plans to lower the small business tax to 8%, encouraging entrepreneurship and new job creation.
It also advocates increasing military funding to +3% gross domestic product (GDP), withdrawing from North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and adopting a Canadian peacekeeping role, restoring the Bank of Canada Act of 1938, allowing the Bank of Canada to issue no-interest loans to public institutions and amending the Indian Act, enabling property ownership for aboriginals on land held in federal Crown trusts and the creation of a publicly managed Oil & Gas Investment Trust, abolishing the federal carbon tax. It wants to restore the Bank of Canada to its purpose as outlined in the Bank Act of 1938, review and potentially repudiate debt incurred by Canadian public institutions and to withdraw from organizations such as the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
It wants to amend the Constitution Act of 1867 in order to propose a new act that would establish a mandatory national curriculum based on Christian / Western values. It would establish a primary school curriculum that would place an emphasis on the humanities (language, logic, and ethics) with a later leaning towards mathematics, science, and literary studies and reform the secondary and post secondary system in such a way that specialization emphasized and encouraged.
The party also aims to stop mass immigration to Canada and securing Canadian borders, reducing the immigration rate, reinstating the Immigration Act of 1952, and deporting of illegal migrants. It asks for withdrawal from the United Nations Compact On Migration, at the same time keeping Canadian policies in protection and admissibility of legal refugees to the country. It wants to repeal the Multiculturalism Act of 1988, Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), the Employment Equity Act, Bill 69, and revoke Motion-103 Anti-Islamaphobia. It wants to discontinue public funding of gay pride parades and removing of homosexuality/transgenderism from the academic curriculum entirely, restricting abortion procedures by adopting a policy of "Protection of Life", prohibiting public officials from holding dual-citizenship, restructuring/abolishing inter-provincial equalization payments to make it fair for Western Canada.
The party seeks to reform the House of Commons and the Senate and reduce the sizes of both, reform or relinquish the position of Governor General and of Lieutenant Governor. The party also represents a revival of Canada's national identity, and respects three principles of the proclaimed Sir John A. Macdonald Mandate, including National, Demographic, and Monarchical Policies. CNP wants to make it illegal to conceal identity when one is personally taking part in a public protest. Failure to do so will be considered a criminal act. In order to attend a public protest, one must be willing to make your identity known. CNP also wants to reinstate capital punishment for crimes of treason and espionage.
The party has its own media outlet, Red Ensign, publishing articles pertaining to Canada, Nationalism, and the future of Canada.[5]
