While private exploration and commercial exploitation of space must always remain strictly limited, we look forward to a time when individuals can make their own way around the stars only limited by the galactic speed limit[1].

The RPC will increase the federal basic personal amount income tax exemption from $13,808 (2021) to $20,000, tie the exemption to the consumer price index (CPI), add two new federal tax brackets[1] of 40% of taxable income over $500,000 and 51% of taxable income over $1,000,000, and work rapidly to close loopholes in personal tax law used by the ultrawealthy to avoid paying their fair share.

The RPC will immediately cancel all new oil exploration, cancel all new pipeline projects, prohibit natural gas in new residential builds, ban hydraulic fracturing (fracking), end all subsidies to the fossil fuel sector, require federal investment funds to divest entirely from fossil fuels, and create a plan with an aggressive timeline with strict penalties to end leasing of federal lands for fossil fuel production and ensure companies and their executives are held accountable for paying for the entire costs of cleaning up and restoring land.

The RPC will work to reduce planned obsolescence for all imported goods and all goods manufactured domestically.

The RPC will enact new legislation which prevents members of parliament from changing allegiance without first resigning and being re-elected, preventing a candidate from successfully running on our socialist platform before sneakily changing allegiance to a capitalist party. This RPC policy of 'allegiance to platform over party' applies equally in the other direction. Candidates from other parties wishing to run as candidates of the RPC must first resign their current office and seek re-election.

The RPC will work to ensure all programs, policies, benefits, reductions, and exemptions can be received at the point of sale, specifically to reduce the barrier to entry for low income individuals and families; specifically, this means the elimination of as many rebates, tax deductions, and other post-paid schemes as possible in favour of instant-savings.
