I looked at their platform on their site.

There are some interesting platform ideas...
No provincial equalization - but no ideas to replace it with something “more fair”

I'm not entirely against the end of provincial welfare "equalization". I'd probably start by cutting it back though instead of eliminating.

No carbon tax - no plan to deal with climate change

Canada is responsible for 1.5% of the world's total CO2 output.  Even if Canada became 100% carbon free it wouldn't have any meaningful impact on climate change.  The US and China together make up 45% of global C02 output.  Our CO2 policy should be tied to their CO2 policy to provide incentive for them and also so we don't waste our money and resources shooting ourselves in the foot trying to fix a problem we can't fix.

Supply management - wants to scrap it.   Seems to be to appease the USA for NAFTA.

He seems more anti-government and pro free trade.  I don't know much about the issue myself.

Drop taxes, especially on businesses.  - Doesn’t say what services will be eliminated.

He says people making up to 15k a year will have their taxes reduced by $500, and the corporate rate will be dropped from 15% to 10% (which i don't agree with)  He also supports fully eliminating capital gains taxes, and wants free trade deals with seemingly every country.  Very economically conservative.

Party also wants to decrease immigration to 250k a year as was the average under Harper.
