He added they will bring in a pay as you go law, which will require every dollar of spending to find a dollar of saving..The Conservative leader went on to say a pay as you go law will “ensure we cut out waste and make the same either/or transactions single moms and small business people have to make.” He said it is time politicians started pinching their pennies..Poilievre said he will axe the carbon tax. He pledged to end the war on work..This will be done through an overhaul of the tax system. Hard work will be rewarded, which will help to address labour shortages..A Poilievre government will bring back homes to Canada. It will leverage infrastructure funds to municipalities based on homes built, rewarding those which do and clawing back from those which do not..All transit projects with federal funding will need to have homes built nearby.

It will require every university taking federal funds to uphold freedom of expression..While elites want to control ordinary people, he said he believes they should be masters in their own homes.
