We are Canadians from all walks of life that believe our country needs a strong Federal government comprising people of integrity, responsibility and accountability who will decide and act on behalf of all Canadians within the highest standards of moral and ethical conduct.
We also believe that the CFP should have clearly stated and understood beliefs and values upon which voters can rely.
From the context of political philosophies, we are pragmatic Free Enterprise, Democratic, Socialists with moderating policies and principles.
Free-Enterprise:
We believe that famly and small businesses are essential economic and social institutions that should be free to competitively develop and function within our economy. Similarly, we feel that unfair competition, price fixing and industrial collusion should be restrained in markets dominated by relatively few organizations, enterprises or corporations.
Democratic:
We believe in the foundational principle that government should be answerable to the wishes of the majority of its age of majority citizens. Similarly, we recognize that elected political parties don't necessarily represent the desires, beliefs or values of the majority of enfranchised voters. Thus, we believe that a political party should consider and respect majority desires, beliefs and values when legislating. Also, we recognize that minority interests are valued and integral to a diverse and dynamic society, and deserve to be respected and tolerated, as long as their actions do not break existing laws or contravene national values and principles.
Socialists:
We believe that society has an obligation to help and assist others who aren't able to naturally fully participate in their community. Also, we believe that the prosperity of the nation should be shared by all Canadians through excellence in government services, support for new enterprise and protection from financial duress. Extremely socialistic ideology, whereby government owns and controls all institutions and resources is anathema to our values of free-enterprise. We believe in moderating political extremes in order to stimulate initiative, industry and sharing.
Presently, the CFP has not applied for recognition in Canada by Elections Canada. We are in the early stages of formation. You may request a DRAFT Constitution or DRAFT discussion papers or contribute discussion papers in areas of government and politics.
We are interested in finding more "founding members" and welcome your input and suggestions to our "articles" and material with respect to a series of position papers that we are producing.
