Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Christian Heritage Party (CHP) federal candidate Chris Kempling says his party has an economic position unique from the others.
He adds it calls for eliminating income tax and replacing it with a national sales tax that would help businesses in the riding and also attract new ones.
The CHP would combine federal health care, pensions and employment insurance into a self-directed "security account," Kempling explains, with a mandatory personal contribution of 10 per cent of employment income.
Aside from those "catastrophic" health care costs, those account funds would replace all of these programs, after a $1,000 deductible, and he adds the tax policy should drastically reduce unemployment.
Kempling notes births in the country are not at the replacement rate of new Canadians.
"It should be 2.2 babies per woman just to maintain the population, and it's about 1.6 right now.
"We would like to see an end to abortion, and we'd like to see life protected from conception to natural death."
His party has certain concerns about immigration and favours banning immigrants from Islamic countries that endorse Sharia law, he says, adding most European countries have recently taken a similar stance.
"We think the multiculturalism experiment imposed by [former prime minister] Pierre Trudeau has been a failure."
In British Columbia, Kempling notes the pressure from "left-wing" politicians for heavy carbon taxes on industry is also the wrong approach.
"We think it's alarmist propaganda - the allegation that global warming is caused by man-made activities. There may be a slight influence, but global warming is caused by solar activity."
