Aaron Patton's promises

Unleashing Canada’s Economic Power A Nation Built on Resources
Utilize our natural resources to restore Canada’s economic prosperity while protecting our natural environment.

Policy Description:

Canada is one of the most resource-rich nations in the world, yet our industries have been choked by overregulation, carbon taxes, and globalist climate policies. The United Party of Canada will scrap all net-zero restrictions, eliminate emissions caps, and revive our energy and resource sectors. By cutting corporate taxes, streamlining regulatory approvals, and aggressively expanding infrastructure, we will restore Canada’s position as a global energy and resources powerhouse.

Implementation Plan:

1. Cancel the Net-Zero Agenda and Remove Emissions Caps

• Withdraw from international climate agreements such as the Paris Accord, which unfairly penalize Canada while allowing major polluters like China and India to continue increasing emissions.

• Eliminate all federal emissions reduction targets and carbon taxes that drive up energy costs for Canadians and destroy competitiveness.

• Implement balanced economic growth with responsible resource development while stewarding our resources and environment without sacrificing our industries to radical climate policies.

2. Expand Pipelines and Energy Infrastructure

• Fast-track the completion of key energy projects, including the Trans Mountain Expansion and LNG export terminals, which have been delayed by government interference and activist opposition.

• Repeal Bill C-69 (the “No More Pipelines Bill”) to ensure new projects are approved quickly and based on economic and engineering merit rather than ideological bias.

• Support a cross-Canada energy corridor to efficiently transport oil, gas, and electricity from production centers to consumers and export terminals.

• Introduce pro-business policies that encourage investment and job creation in the energy sector.

3. Reduce Corporate Taxes and Attract Investment

• Lower corporate tax rates to match or undercut the U.S. and global competitors, making Canada an attractive destination for investment in energy, mining, and manufacturing.

•Provide tax incentives and depreciation allowances for companies investing in resource development.

• Remove capital gains taxes on new energy projects to spur development and increase private sector involvement in growing Canada’s resource sector.

4. Cut Bureaucratic Red Tape in Mining, Drilling, and Agriculture

• Reduce federal environmental assessment timelines from years to months, ensuring quicker project approvals and preventing unnecessary delays.

• End restrictions on oil sands development and allow the sector to grow with modern technology that reduces environmental impact while maximizing output.

• Simplify agricultural regulations to protect farmers from excessive government intervention, allowing them to focus on feeding Canadians and exporting to global markets.

5. Maximize Arctic Development – Expand Resource Extraction in the North

• Establish a National Arctic Development Strategy to expand oil, gas, and mineral extraction in the Canadian Arctic.

• Russia has aggressively expanded its Arctic oil and gas production, securing economic dominance in the region. Canada needs to do the same.

• Invest in Arctic infrastructure, including deep-water ports, icebreakers, and roads, to support year-round resource extraction.

• Assert sovereignty over Arctic resources by increasing military and economic presence, ensuring that foreign nations (China, Russia) do not exploit Canada’s North.

Sovereignty, Foreign Relations, & the United States

National defence

Aaron Patton's promise

Military & Border Security A Strong Canada is a Safe Canada

We will rebuild Canada’s military, protect our borders, and defend the Arctic against foreign threats.

Policy Description:

Canada’s national security has been dangerously neglected. Decades of underfunding have left our armed forces underequipped and, understaffed and unable to defend our country effectively. The current government has prioritized foreign-led military initiatives over protecting Canadian sovereignty, leaving our borders exposed and our Arctic vulnerable to growing Russian and Chinese military expansion.

We will rebuild the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) with a massive investment in personnel, equipment, and infrastructure, ensuring that Canada has a military capable of protecting our borders and asserting sovereignty over our territory. We will fortify our northern defences, deploy a specialized Border Protection Task Force to stop illegal immigration, illegal drugs, illegal guns and drug components, and human trafficking, and ensure that Canada’s military serves Canadian interests.

Implementation Plan:

1. Massive Military Investment – Rebuild the Canadian Armed Forces

• Increase military spending to meet NATO’s 2% GDP target and ensure the CAF has the resources necessary to defend Canada. Currently, Canada spends approximately 1.3% of GDP on defence—one of the lowest levels in NATO. We will meet and exceed the 2% commitment to ensure a capable military.

• Modernize outdated equipment, including tanks, fighter jets, naval ships, and Arctic patrol vehicles.

• Our CF-18 fighter jets, in service since the 1980s, are long overdue for replacement. We will accelerate the acquisition of next-generation fighter aircraft to protect Canadian airspace.

• Expand recruitment and training programs to increase military personnel levels, ensuring the CAF is fully staffed and combat-ready. The CAF has faced severe recruitment shortages, with the army 10,000 troops below its target. We will launch a national recruitment campaign and increase incentives for service members.

2. Defend the Arctic – Assert Canada’s Sovereignty

• Establish permanent, full-time military bases in the Arctic to counter Russian and Chinese

territorial expansion. Russia has more than 50 Arctic military bases, while Canada has virtually no permanent presence. We will establish well-equipped military installations in Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon.

• Expand the Canadian Coast Guard’s Arctic capabilities, ensuring year-round patrols and surveillance.

• Currently, Canada lacks icebreakers capable of operating year-round. We will invest in a modern Arctic fleet to protect our waters.

• Enhance Arctic early warning and missile defence systems, working with NORAD to detect and respond to threats.

3. Border Protection Task Force – Secure Canada’s Borders

• Deploy a specialized Border Protection Task Force to prevent illegal crossings and human trafficking. Roxham Road, a notorious illegal border crossing in Quebec, saw tens of thousands of illegal entries before being shut down. We will ensure all such crossings remain permanently closed.

• Increase funding and staffing for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to ensure strict enforcement of immigration laws.

• Implement advanced surveillance technology at all border crossings, including drones, motion sensors, and biometric verification. We will inspect containers in Canadian ports more stringently.

4. Reject Globalist Military Directives – Serve Canadian Interests First

• Withdraw Canada from UN-led military interventions that do not directly serve our national security. Canadian troops have been sent on UN peacekeeping missions that do nothing to protect Canada. We will prioritize deployments that serve Canadian interests.

• End foreign-funded influence in Canada’s military decision-making.

• Strengthen military ties with allies while maintaining full sovereignty over Canada’s defence policy.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
My convictions call me to use the gifting of my voice to speak against corruption and speak for all people who relate to my convictions and desire representation.

It’s my first time running for any political office. Honestly stepping into the realm of the political wasn’t on my bingo card up until very recently. I am not what you would call a ‘traditionally politically minded” individual. I am a husband, father, preacher, author, and professional musician. In short, I am an artist responding in obedience to a call of faith. I am a fourth generation Albertan which means I voted Conservative my whole adult life and never really questioned policy or platform. Today I have a different conviction that calls me to use the gifting of my voice to speak against corruption and speak for all people who resonate with my convictions and desire representation at the federal level.
