From their national policy convention

A bunch of fiscal ideas will ultimately hurt the middle class, like “eliminating Tax Free Savings Accounts as a means of tax avoidance” and “taxing capital gains and stock options at the same rate as salaries or wages.” If your retirement fund holds U.S. stock, you won’t like the “international tax on the purchase, sale, or transfer of the four principal types of financial assets — shares, bonds, foreign currency, and derivatives.”
Fans of more redistribution, they’re again suggesting “a minimum annual income for landed immigrants, permanent residents and citizens of Canada covering all ages, life stages, abilities and family status.” So free money for anyone who sets foot in Canada, no questions asked.
Nationalization is big: “The only way to significantly reduce smoking in Canada, and eventually wind down this unhealthy industry, is to de-commercialize the Canadian tobacco industry.”
Richmond, B.C., members have resolutions to nationalize banks, insurance companies and the auto industry. They also want the Hamilton company U.S. Steel to be nationalized and given over to “community democratic control” because, well, because they don’t like the company.
Richmonders also want to “reduce the work week throughout Canada to
32 hours, without loss of pay or benefits to workers, and to outlaw mandatory overtime.” Meh, a bit too big government, but I’ll take it!
