The People’s Party of Canada has announced that Estevan’s Phillip Zajac has been nominated as their candidate in the upcoming federal election.
Zajac has been a member of the community for 10 years and is proud to call Estevan home. During his time in Estevan, he has been involved in the community as a coach and volunteer. Currently he is coaching the Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs football team and has volunteered his time coaching girls’ softball for the past seven years.
He is an active member of the Estevan Kinsmen Club and volunteers his time with many events which benefit the local community. Realizing how important services such libraries are for Saskatchewan communities, he decided to become the chairman for the Estevan Public Library board, a position he has held for the past four years.
Zajac said he is excited about the platform for the relatively new party, which will be fielding candidates in an election for the first time.
“He is sure that once the public learns about the future under a PPC government, there is no way that they shouldn’t win by a landslide,” stated a news release for the nomination.
Former Conservative Party leadership candidate Maxime Bernier founded this party in the fall of 2018 and they have set up 328 constituency associations. They expect to have a candidate in each riding in the Oct. 21 federal election.
Notable policy points for the party are: it will scrap the current gun regulations and policy, it will pull Canada out of the United Nations Migration Compact, it will reduce personal income tax to 15 per cent across the board on the first $100,000 earned, it will reduce corporate tax by five per cent, it will eliminate foreign wasteful spending, it will pledge to take care of veterans and seniors in a show of thanks for the freedoms they won, and will send aid to countries when they are struck by catastrophes.
“The People’s Party of Canada is proud to make this announcement and endorses common sense governance with Mr. Zajac representing your values in Ottawa,” the news release said.
Zajac is the second declared candidate in the field. Incumbent MP Robert Kitchen of the Conservative Party will seek a second term in Ottawa.
