Juno News - Alexa Posa asked delegates at the Conservative convention what priorities matter most

00:00:00.000 What do you feel like should be the number one focus for the Conservative Party right now?

00:00:04.140 Well, I believe that affordability is a huge concern here in Canada.

00:00:08.400 We have one of the, for example, Vancouver is the third most expensive city to live in in the world.

00:00:14.980 And I think the cost of living is something that affects people of all political stripes,

00:00:19.200 as a matter of if they vote Liberal, Conservative, NDP, Bloc, etc.

00:00:22.320 And I think that if we capitalize ourselves as being the party of affordability

00:00:27.720 and personal opportunity for growth and prosperity over the Liberal Party that campaigned on

00:00:32.740 that promise and failed to meet that promise a year later, then I think we could come out

00:00:36.380 on top despite the Liberals having Mark Carney, a former economist, as their leader and Prime

00:00:41.480 Minister.

00:00:42.480 Well, there's two ways to look at this.

00:00:44.440 It's about either, you know, staying in line with the vision of Pierre Polyev, the things

00:00:50.800 that he's been putting out which got a lot of reception when Justin Trudeau had the failures

00:00:54.980 with the leadership of the Liberals, or taking a grassroots approach to build up the party

00:01:02.020 again with a new vision that would attack the Liberals and Mark Carney.

00:01:06.140 I think right now it's affordability for housing and food, and that comes not just

00:01:13.160 from me but from Dortmund looking at over 12,000 doors.

00:01:15.920 That seems to be the concern of many, many Canadians, so I think that should be the focus.

00:01:20.180 I also think that we should realize the wealth that we have in this country.

00:01:26.120 We should build pipelines, we should get mines going, we should just realize that we are

00:01:31.980 a very wealthy country and we shouldn't be having problems that we have right now.
