About the National Coalition Party of Canada
Stes de Necker
The emergence of a Popular Nationalism Political Movement is taking
place in Canada through the National Coalition Party of Canada (NCPC). There
are two main perspectives on the origins and basis of nationalism. One is the
primordial perspective that describes nationalism as a reflection of the
ancient belief perceived by evolutionary tendency of humans and citizens to
organize into distinct groupings. The other is the modernist perspective that
describes nationalism as a recent political phenomenon that requires the
structural conditions of modern society and sustainable government reform
through the democratic political process.
In terms of historical political development; inconsistency between
institutional governmental system, the people civil societies has resulted in a
situation of anomie that nationalists and nationalism seek to resolve, correct,
change, and reform for the purpose of the well-being and greater good of the
people within the nation in which they live and abide. Our Party is the only
Party in Canada which main platform is established on the principles of
individual freedom, social responsibility, equality, social justice, economic
opportunity for everyone, humane principles; people-caring through civil
rights and human rights. The party is strongly and amazingly continues to gain
a significant amount of national and international support as it continues to
achieve its political mission.
The Party’s ideology combines freedom with responsibility and
democracy. Our basic and fundamental values are cantered on education, fiscal
balance, healthcare reform, employment, tolerance, youth leadership, fairness,
gender equality, indigenous inclusiveness; rewarding and caring, private
business, civil and corporate society. The party also values multiculturalism
and diversity. Our political mission has been shaped by ideas of social reform
and social justice which have all contributed to the current ideology. The
party's Women's agenda also works to strongly bring women together and focuses
on improving gender equality in Canada and around the world. It believes that
women and men must have the same opportunities and rights to come to life, grow
up, receive education, and participate freely in public and global affairs.
Our Platform for Action
1 -
Economy - competitiveness and finance
Markets must work as freely as possible and unfair practices and
protectionist measures against free competition and free trade need to be
abolished. Canada needs a steady, coherent, ambitious, growth-oriented and
long-term economic and financial perspective. Labour mobility and job creation
are of high importance in this context. Small and Medium Sized businesses as
well as large businesses are the backbone of our Social Market Economy because
their job-creating capacity is the biggest contributor to the Canadian labour
market and the national economy. Economic policies should lead to stable and
sustainable public finances, sound fiscal policy, tax reform, and should consist
of demands on surplus, demands on a balanced budget, reducing public debt to
less than 60% of GDP, more free trade, competition and continuous economic
reform within Canada and abroad.
2.
Justice, Civil Rights, the Courts and National Security
Increased irregular migration, illicit arms, drug trade and human
trafficking, as well as international terrorism are challenges of the
globalised world. Canada needs to protect its borders and find a balance
between minimizing security threats and maximizing ease and convenience for travellers.
Canada is a nation of freedom, justice, security, safety and peace, and needs
clear structures in support and protection of basis and fundamental individual
civil rights and human rights. Strengthening external border security by
enhancing the military is an urgent necessity. We must also effectively
cooperate with external countries’ border security authorities, especially
countries that are identified as a source or transit route of irregular
migration
3.
Immigration and integration
Mobility within Canada and immigration from outside of Canada are
realities that have enriched our nation for decades. The Canadian economy is
interested in attracting highly qualified employees from all over the world,
but immigration should not be promoted as the sole answer to demographic
challenges. It will always be necessary to provide asylum for people who are
persecuted. Immigrants and refugees must be treated on the basis of respect for
human rights. It is imperative to address the results of illegal immigration
and lack of integration, particularly with the emergence of parallel societies
of immigrants in which the core values enshrined in our constitutions are
disregarded, such as individual freedoms and the equality of men and women before
the law. Human rights, freedom and tolerance must be respected within any
cultural or religious community in Canada.
4.
Energy
We believe in energy independence. We support an “all of the above”
approach that encourages the responsible production of nuclear power, clean
coal, solar, wind, geothermal, hydro-power, as well as drilling for oil and
natural gas in an environmentally responsible way. We oppose so-called cap and
trade legislation that would impose a national energy tax on families and small
business that would kill jobs and raise utility prices. It is essential that
Canada reconstruct its security strategy in order to integrate energy policy in
its foreign policy approach to third countries with the aim of building a
strategic external policy with key partner countries. It has to enhance and
develop an approach to climate and energy policy that will increase the
nation’s energy security, including access to natural resources and raw
materials.
5.
Agriculture
Canada is well known around the world for its high quality
agricultural products which are the basis of our gastronomic heritage, and this
quality needs to be maintained. Strict standards are required to be set for
production of safe and healthy food and to promote organic products even further.
Agricultural Policy will have to be further reformed to foster a sustainable
model of farming, taking into account food scarcities as a consequence of
population growth and climate change as well as the economic role of the
countryside. This reform should take into account the new and sharply
increasing global need for agricultural products, a substantial change in
nutritional patterns and the use of bio-fuels. At the same time, we have to
take into account the decreasing capacity of agricultural production in some
areas outside of Canada because of climate change and the scarcity of water,
and therefore the continuous development and adaptation of Canada’s
agricultural capacities should be facilitated.
6.
Environment
A Social Market Economy has to be based on the principle of
environmental sustainability; that implies an ever greater attention to
renewable energy sources, phasing out unsustainable energy production, energy
efficiency, the preservation of biodiversity and the conservation and regeneration
of natural resources such as water, air and land. It also means that economic
growth should support those factors which increase the citizens’ quality of
life. Canada possesses significant negotiating experience and power when
speaking with one voice and technological know-how, and it should continue its
leading role in combating climate change and global warming, as well as in
coping with their effects. Increasing natural disasters around the world, as
well as the rise in gas and oil prices, show the need for a rapid and
courageous move toward the most modern and efficient technologies.
7.
Family and society
We are in favour of the Social Market Economy because economic
development, based on everyone’s contributions, cannot foster wellbeing and
peace unless its fruits are shared with the aim of improving the living
conditions of each person. It is important to safeguard competition between
market forces as well as to promote solidarity and social justice. Subsidiary
expresses itself not only vertically in the political system but also
horizontally in society, based on the premise that society can be constructed
in freedom. The NCPC encourages a vibrant civil society through the activities
of NGOs and the creation of associations. The NCPC should foster direct
relations with associations of producers, consumers, trade unions, economic
chambers and other socio-economic and societal actors. Family is irreplaceable
as the core institution where love, charity, sympathy and human solidarity are
cherished and instilled, thereby uniting different generations. It is the place
where parents and children take responsibility and practice solidarity for each
other. Strong families are also a precondition for better demographic
development. We emphasize the need to recognize the work of parents as
educators within the framework of social policies. We also believe that fiscal
policies should support families and solidarity between generations.
8. A
Competitive World Class Education
We believe that maintaining a world-class system of primary,
secondary, post-secondary and higher education with high standards in which all
students can reach their potential is critically and vitally important to
Canada’s socio-economic future. We believe parents should be empowered to send
their children to the school of their choice. Our country’s system of higher
education, public and private, secular and religious, large and small
institutions is unique for its excellence, its diversity, and its
accessibility. Learning is a safeguard of liberty. Post-secondary education not
only increases the earnings of individuals but advances economic development.
We must ensure that our higher education system meet the needs of the 21st
century student and economy and remain innovative and accessible.
9. Job
Creation and Growth: Getting Canadians Back to Work
The best jobs program is economic growth. We do not offer yet another
made-in-Ottawa package of subsidies and spending to create temporary or
artificial jobs. We want much more than that. We want a roaring job market to
match a roaring economy. Instead, what previous parties and governments have
given Canadians is years of unemployment above normal. NCPC will pursue free
market policies that are the surest way to boost employment and create job growth
and economic prosperity for all. In all the sections that follow, as well as
elsewhere in this platform, we explain what must be done to achieve that goal.
The tax system must be simplified. Government spending and regulation must be
reined in. Canadian companies must be more competitive in the domestic and
world market, and we must be aggressive in promoting Canadian products
domestically and abroad and securing open markets for them. A
federal-provincial-private partnership must invest in the nation’s infrastructure
such as roads, bridges, airports, ports, and water systems, among others.
Federal Work training programs have to be overhauled and made relevant for the
workplace of the twenty-first century.
10.
Businesses and Entrepreneurship
Canadian businesses are the backbone our economy, employing millions
of workers. Businesses create the vast majority of jobs. Businesses are the
leaders in the world’s advances in technology and innovation, and we pledge to
strengthen that role and foster small, medium and large business
entrepreneurship. While businesses have significantly contributed to the
nation’s economic growth, our past governments has failed to meet its small
business goals year after year and failed to overcome burdensome regulatory,
contracting, and capital barriers which in turn impedes their growth. We will
reform the tax code to allow businesses to generate enough capital to grow and
create jobs for our families, friends and neighbours all across Canada. We will
encourage investments in small businesses. We will create an environment where
adequate financing and credit are available to spur manufacturing and
expansion. We will serve as aggressive advocates for businesses overall.
11. Tax
Relief to Grow the Economy and Create Jobs
Taxes, by their very nature, reduce a citizen’s freedom. Their proper
role in a free society should be to fund services that are essential and
authorized by the Constitution, such as national security, and the care of
those who cannot care for themselves. We reject the use of taxation to
redistribute income, fund unnecessary or ineffective programs, or foster the
crony capitalism that corrupts politicians and government representatives. Our
goal is a tax system that is simple, transparent, flatter and fair. In contrast,
the current tax code is like a patchwork quilt, stitched together over time
from mismatched pieces, and is beyond the comprehension of the average citizen.
A reformed code should promote simplicity and coherence, savings and
innovation, increase Canadian competitiveness, and recognize the burdens on
families with children.
12.
Securing Adequate Housing and Eradicating Homelessness
The federal government has a role in housing by enforcing
non-discriminatory laws and assisting low-income families and the elderly with
safe and adequate shelter, especially through the use of housing vouchers. Home
ownership is an important goal, but public policy must be balanced to reflect
the needs of Canadians who choose to rent. A comprehensive housing policy
should address the demand for apartments and multi-family housing. Any
assistance should be subject to stringent oversight to ensure that funds are
spent wisely. Home ownership expands personal liberty, builds communities, and
helps Canadians create wealth. The new NCPC “Canadian Dream” is not a stale
slogan. It is the lived reality that expresses the aspirations of all our
people. It means a decent place to live, a safe place to raise kids, a
welcoming place to retire. It bespeaks the quiet pride of those who work hard
to shelter their family and, in the process, create caring neighbourhoods. Home
ownership is best fostered by a growing economy with low interest rates, as
well as prudent regulation, financial education, and targeted assistance to
responsible borrowers.
13.
International Trade and Foreign Direct Investment
International trade and foreign direct investment is crucial for our
economy. It means more Canadian jobs, higher wages, and a better standard of
living. Every $1 billion in additional Canadian exports means another 5,000 or
10,000 jobs here at home. Thus, NCPC Leader and Prime Minister will insist on
full parity in trade with other nations and stand ready to combat commercial
disparities. Victimized private firms will be encouraged to raise claims in
both Canadian courts and at the World Trade Organization. Judicial measures
will be imposed on foreign firms that misappropriate Canadian technology and
intellectual property. Because Canadian workers have shown that, on a truly
level playing field, they can surpass the competition in international trade,
we call for the restoration of Trade Promotion Authority. It will ensure up or
down votes in Parliament on any new trade agreements, without meddling by
special interests. A NCPC Prime Minister will complete negotiations for a
Trans-Pacific and Trans-Continental Partnership to open rapidly developing
Asian markets to Canadian products. Beyond that, we envision a worldwide
multilateral agreement among nations committed to the principles of open
markets, in which free trade will truly be fair trade open for all.
14. A
Twenty-First Century Workforce, Safer and More Secure
Retirement
The greatest asset of the Canadian economy is the hard-working
Canadians. The high rates of unemployment over the past years disastrously high
among youth, minorities, and veterans have thus been a tragic waste of energy,
human resources and ideas, compounded by the waste of billions in stimulus
funds with no payoff in jobs. Nothing matters more than getting the Canadian
people back to work. In addition to cutting spending, keeping sound tax policy,
we must replace outdated policies and ineffectual training programs with a plan
to develop a twenty-first century workforce to make the most of our country’s
human capital. The NCPC will take aggressive action to close the retirement gap
in Canada. We shall commission Clear Path Analysis to carry out qualitative
research to create new retirement policies and reform existing programs into
the future of our pension system aiming to achieve a more balanced retirement
plan by strengthening funded pensions. People’s retirement savings are a
convenient source of revenue for governments and we don’t want to reduce
spending or make privatizations.
15.
Action for People with Disability
We are committed and dedicated to defending and advancing the equality
rights of people with disabilities in Canada. We believe that individuals with
disabilities should live with dignity and participate fully in our communities.
We pledge to work with all sectors and the disability communities on law reform
and policy initiatives and community development. We support the creation of a
multidisciplinary committee forum of disability experts and several
organizations both governmental and non-governmental in order to facilitate the
mainstreaming of disability issues in all relevant policy areas. This work is
particularly appropriate in the light of the challenges faced by contemporary
society in its efforts to promote inclusion and participation for all. Efforts
must be made to create an environment where people with disabilities are
encouraged and are able to participate in politics at local, regional, national
and international levels.
16.
Health Care Reform: Putting Patients First through Integrative Medicine
Health care spending in Canada reached $160 billion, or 10.6% of GDP,
in 2007 and $171.9 billion in 2008, or $5,170 per person. There is considerable
variation across the provinces/territories as to the extent to which such costs
as outpatient prescription drugs, physical therapy, long-term care, home care,
dental care and even ambulance services are covered. We support common-sense
public health care reforms that will lower costs, ensure quality health care;
an all inclusive Health Care based on Prevention and Integrative Medicine and
less dependency on crisis medicine, medications and surgery. This will reduce
our health care costs and make us the leading nation in preventive medicine.
This is the medicine of the future where we can reward people to become healthier
and follow proper balanced life style, exercise and taking full responsibility
for healthy living. This is a timely event since most Canadians do favour the
focus on prevention instead of intervention and which will result in a more
cost effective health care system by encouraging all health care professionals
including medical doctors, integrative doctors, natural doctors, nurses,
chiropractors, acupuncturists, nutritionists, dieticians and other allied
professionals to get paid only when their client becomes healthy and not to
push medications on them for life. By 2020 we will have a demographic shift
that will require the focus on preventing diabetes, hypertension and obesity to
avoid bankrupting our current health care system that will fail to cope with
the ageing of the population.
17.
Foreign Affairs, Diplomatic Relations and Human Rights
The NCPC is involved in shaping the rules and norms of the new
international system. A globalized world requires global governance, and
strengthening international organizations is imperative, in particular with
regard to the United Nations (UN), IMF and WTO. Flexible institutions such as
the G20 will grow in importance, highlighting the increased weight of emerging
economies in Asia, Caribbean, the Arab Nations, the Americas and Africa.
Strengthening the Common Foreign and Security Policy as well as the Security
and Defence Policy will be crucial for the further development of Canada. The
NCPC has to remain vigilant and strengthen its efforts in the non-proliferation
of weapons of mass-destruction, terrorism, and organized crime as well as
regional conflicts.
18.
Addressing Corruption: Supporting the Creation of a National Integrity
Commission
We need to call on our politicians and public officials to be
accountable for their actions. How can we trust them if we don’t know what
they’re doing? We must demand that they put in place regulations which will
force them to act openly. Then corruption can’t hide. And our trust in the
political and electoral processes will improve. When party leaders act
transparently, showing us clearly what they do, we can make informed choices
when we vote. And we can hold them to account once elected. The NCPC supports
the creation of a National Integrity Commission (NIC) which main objectives are
to evaluate government operations, both in terms of their internal corruption
risks and their contribution to fighting corruption in society at large. When
all the pillars in a National Integrity System are functioning well, corruption
remains in check. If some or all of the pillars wobble, these weaknesses can
allow corruption to thrive and damage a society. A National Integrity System
assessment examines both the formal framework of each pillar and the actual
government institutional practice. The analysis highlights discrepancies
between the formal provisions and reality on the ground, making it clear where
there is room for improvement.
The National Coalition Party of Canada (NCPC) is the only Party in
Canada which main platform is established on the core and fundamental
principles of individual freedom, social responsibility, equality before the
law, civil rights values, human rights standards, children and youth
well-being, gender equality, social justice, economic opportunity for everyone
and the rule of law. My desire, dream, hope and vision to continue to build up
our party so it will become the largest party in Canada and in Parliamentary
Government. To also be open to everyone who reside in Canada; to engage
everyone to be active in society, to stand up for things that are important to
them, to talk about them, and to work to change them for the betterment of our
nation.
