FIRST NATIONS:
First Nations members in BC are living in third world conditions. We need to allow individual members of First Nations Communities a chance to escape from the continuous cycle of dependency and poverty.
- Allow First Nations members and governments to be self-sustaining by working towards ending all transfer payments from any level of government.
- Shift transfer payments initially into funding for training and development, and eventually remove transfer payments all together.
- Settle all land claims once and for all allowing First Nations a chance to develop self-supporting communities and industries.
- Ensure land claims provide adequate land and resources to allow remaining First Nations communities the ability to develop, without negatively impacting the rest of the Province’s population.
- Once First Nations develop their communities, they must become a true part of British Columbia, by contributing tax revenue to the province like all British Columbians.
We want to change the way things are done in BC politics while keeping the same basic political structure.
We believe politics should be more inclusive and accessible to the people and we have the platform to make that happen.
We think the best way to make change is from within the system, but with a new group of people dedicated to changing the way things are done.
