  • The Canadian Future Party (CFP; French: Parti avenir canadien, PAC) is a minor federal political party in Canada that was officially launched in 2024. It describes itself as being politically centrist, campaigning on a fiscally conservative and socially liberal platform.

    That made me audibly groan, along with this:

    • Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight
    • Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories
    • Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered

    I’m happy to be proven wrong, but this seems like a recipe for laissez-faire capitalism that will eventually end in a collective shrug, a few golden parachutes, and a recession. Canada does not need more centrism.
