Our Plan for Health Care
The Yukon Party is announcing its policy planks to ensure Yukoners throughout the territory have access to the right health care services when they need them.
Our Plan for Housing
If elected on Monday, November 3, the Yukon Party is poised to tackle affordability issues Yukoners are facing. This includes a bold and tangible approach to solving the territory’s housing crisis as one of the party’s first announcements.
Building Strong First Nations Relations
If elected, the Yukon Party will work with Yukon First Nation leaders to hold four Yukon Forum meetings each year to re-establish and maintain sound government-to-government relations and discuss and implement shared priorities.
Power Rate Increases
The Yukon Party has announced that if elected, a Yukon Party government would direct the Yukon Energy Corporation (YEC) to cut their planned 34 per cent increase to Yukon power rates.
Crime and Public Safety
Over the past several years, we have watched crime tighten its grip on our communities. Statistics paint a concerning picture. Over the past 10 years, Yukon's property crime has surged by 42 percent, and violent crime has soared by 47 percent. These are not just numbers; they're a reflection of lives disrupted, businesses shuttered, and a sense of safety eroded. Downtown Whitehorse, once the vibrant heart of the community, now frequently experiences break-ins, gang activity, and open drug use, leaving residents, entrepreneurs, and visitors alike feeling unsafe.
Power Generation
In early July, Yukoners faced a 10 percent increase in their electricity bills, which will be the first of several increases that will total a 34 percent increase by 2027. For many, this sharp rise has been shocking and will cause hardship as it comes during a period where the cost of living is already a struggle. For those wondering why this is happening, these increases are the direct result of the current government’s failed energy strategy and poor political decision-making. The decisions made over the past nine years have had consequences and costs, and Yukoners are now starting to feel the effects.
An Economy in Need of Change
The Yukon’s economy is at a crossroads.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has called for a stronger, more productive national economy and has urged provinces and territories to act. The weak response from the Yukon’s Liberal-NDP government, though, has been driven by a lack of leadership, vision, and energy.
