Stephen King, a teacher who has lived in Beauval since 2013, has some creative ideas if he is elected as an Independent MP later this month.
“Some politicians want to follow the status quo, but very few politicians have a vision for their country,” he said. “I have a vision for Canada.”
Although he is running as an Independent, King wants to form the Canada First Party and explained he has been working with Elections Canada to do so, but didn’t have enough time before the election was called to finalize it. He said he’s already recruited a chief agent, officers and more than 1,000 people have expressed interest to sign up as members.
Among the goals of the Canada First Party is to focus on cutting back foreign aid and refugee spending, providing a 25 per cent income increase to seniors and more money for veterans. The party would also seek to change the criminal justice system to make it fairer for Indigenous Peoples, introduce funding for Indigenous language immersion in elementary schools, as well as stop imports of foreign oil and gas.
