The Policy

The RPC will work to ensure all legislation, policies, standards, and procedures meet strict ethical standards and incorporate compassion for the diverse human experience.

The Research

Effective democracies are those in which everyone can participate equally.


Accessibility means many different things to different people, but it always means providing means to participate regardless of:


  • Cognitive Ability (e.g., learning, emotional)

  • Communications Ability (e.g., language, speech)

  • Physical Ability (e.g., visual, audio, and mobility)


Being truly accessible means making systems and processes which provide exceptional supports to everyone who needs them.

Ethics have been sorely lacking in many areas of public service, especially by elected officials working to enrich themselves and their friends. We will implement substantially more oversight and repercussions, including for politicians, such as those outlined by the OECD:


Our Broader Stance on:

With so many conflicting opinions on the best form of government, any government reform will surely be a contentious topic. Our position is that we must select the best currently known form of democratic government that achieves two main aims:

To create a body of democratically elected representatives which accurately and proportionally reflects the composition of the entire population of Canada in government policies and activities until such time as direct democracy is feasible.

To limit corruption and the amassing of influence of individuals by distributing power widely among more people, with expansive oversight and regulation.

We believe that strict limits on personal power and proportional representation in government are required components of every successful democracy - which is why we based our Constitution on those principles.
