Another new item in the Conservative platform: a ‘ban’ on new taxes

More specifically, the party proposes a Taxpayer Protection Act that would “ban new or higher federal taxes without asking taxpayers first in a referendum.”

This is something Poilievre had not talked about on the campaign so far.

Another promise we hadn’t heard about before: the party is pledging to eliminate university degree requirements for “most federal public services roles to hire for skill, not credentials.”

Poilievre has made various promises relating to the public service, but changing the hiring requirements is a new one.
