The Platform
Improved Health Care
Elimination of Tuition
Improved Health Care
Mental health is just as important as physical health.
Poor mental health has already been linked to issues such as homelessness, crime, and addiction. Canadians are struggling daily with a diminished quality of life, increased mortality, and rising violence—challenges that have come at a staggering economic and social cost. This cannot continue to be ignored.
Our most vulnerable populations also suffer from untreated tooth decay, oral infections, and gum disease.
Holistic healthcare should be accessible to every Canadian.
Cultural Identity
Elimination of Tuition
Improved Health Care
Investing in Canadian media, arts, and education will help preserve the country’s cultural identity while fostering national unity. Recognizing and upholding Indigenous governance and Treaty Rights is also crucial in ensuring a sovereign and inclusive Canada. We need to teach our children the importance of Dr. Norman Bethune, Viola Desmond, and Emily Carr. I lived at a time when contributions from musicians such as Bryan Adams, Corey Hart, Loverboy, k.d. lang, and Honeymoon Suite were played on our radio and made us all feel a sense of pride. We need this to happen again.
Elimination of Tuition
Elimination of Tuition
Elimination of Tuition
Rising tuition costs have made it increasingly difficult for students to access post-secondary education and repay student loans. Eliminating tuition would break down financial barriers and give more Canadians the opportunity to pursue higher education.
In today’s job market, a post-secondary degree is often the minimum requirement for employment. Yet graduates are burdened not only by mounting student debt, but also by the rising costs of starting a family and purchasing a first home.
Investing in affordable education is an investment in Canada’s future. Reducing or eliminating tuition fees would empower young Canadians to build their lives without being weighed down by excessive debt—enabling them to contribute more fully to the economy through homeownership and long-term financial stability.
Such policies would also strengthen economic resilience and support a greener, more sustainable future through strategic investment in equitable social programs.

Preserving Parks, Protected Areas, and Public Lands
The conservation of Canada’s parks, protected areas, and public lands is essential for safeguarding natural ecosystems and ensuring accessibility for all citizens. These spaces provide invaluable opportunities for recreation, cultural activities, and the exercise of Treaty Rights while also serving as the foundation for a thriving green economy. Legislative measures such as Bill 35, the All-Seasons Resorts Act, pose a threat by prioritizing commercial interests over public access, potentially restricting enjoyment of these landscapes to affluent tourists. Sustainable stewardship policies must be reinforced to protect biodiversity, support climate resilience, and maintain the ecological integrity of these treasured landscapes for future generations.
Housing
Green Protection
Tackle Poverty
Canadians have a fundamental right to adequate housing, as recognized in the National Housing Strategy Act (2019) and further affirmed under international law through the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. This is not only a legal obligation but a moral imperative.
The right to housing must include affordability, accessibility, and security. A review by the House of Commons HUMA Committee and the Federal Housing Advocate is urgently needed.
Across Canada, we are witnessing alarming trends: rent gouging, renovictions, the financialization of housing, the rise of homeless encampments, and their subsequent removal. This crisis can no longer be ignored.
To address Canada’s housing shortage, we must reduce bureaucratic barriers and fast-track the construction of affordable, subsidized, market, transitional, student, and senior housing. Housing must be prioritized to ensure all individuals—including those fleeing domestic violence—have access to safe and stable homes.
Additionally, investing in sustainable infrastructure—such as expanding public transit and accelerating projects like the Calgary Green Line (north segment, as per the original plan)—will drive economic growth while promoting environmentally responsible urban development.
Cutting red tape will help expedite these critical initiatives, avoid costly delays, and ensure meaningful progress in tackling Canada’s housing crisis.

Advancing Anti-Poverty Initiatives and Supporting Disability Rights
Alberta’s most vulnerable populations, including seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those relying on the Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) program, face mounting financial hardship due to rising housing costs, increasing food prices, soaring insurance rates, and higher utility bills. Despite AISH providing one of the highest social assistance payments in Canada, proposed reductions threaten to push recipients further into poverty, exacerbating their already precarious financial situation. It is imperative to uphold and enhance financial assistance programs, ensuring that those who depend on AISH and similar supports receive a livable income rather than facing cuts that deepen economic instability.
Additionally, the reevaluation of the Old Age Security pension and the removal of restrictions on disability benefits for those in committed relationships are necessary steps toward financial equity. Those on disability assistance should not have to choose between financial stability and personal relationships. Investing in post-secondary education by reducing or eliminating tuition fees would empower young Canadians to build their futures without being burdened by excessive debt, allowing them to invest in homeownership and family planning. Implementing these measures will not only foster economic resilience but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable economy through targeted investments in equitable social programs.
Protecting Canada’s Sovereignty
Protecting Canada’s Sovereignty
Protecting Canada’s Sovereignty
Canada’s sovereignty is fundamental to its national identity, economic independence, and security. To ensure that Canada remains a self-reliant and resilient nation, proactive measures must be taken across various domains, including resource management, economic autonomy, environmental protection, and national security.
Economic and Energy Independence
Maintaining economic sovereignty requires investing in Canadian industries, protecting key sectors from foreign control, and ensuring that critical infrastructure—such as telecommunications, energy, and transportation—remains under domestic ownership. Strengthening Canada’s energy security by developing renewable energy sources and reducing reliance on foreign oil and gas will contribute to long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Canada must harness its abundant natural resources, including sunlight and strong winds in Alberta, to generate clean energy. Additionally, developing domestic greenhouse agriculture will create food security, reduce transportation costs, and lower food prices. Nationalizing key resources will ensure that Canadians benefit from them directly rather than selling them to foreign entities and repurchasing them at inflated costs.
Environmental and Resource Stewardship
Canada’s vast natural resources must be managed responsibly to benefit future generations. Protecting public lands, water sources, and critical minerals from privatization and foreign exploitation is essential for long-term sustainability. Implementing strong environmental policies that prioritize clean energy, biodiversity conservation, and climate action will ensure that Canada remains a leader in environmental stewardship while maintaining control over its ecological assets.
Defending National Security and Cybersecurity
Protecting Canada’s sovereignty requires a strong and modern defense system, including investments in cybersecurity to counter foreign interference, espionage, and digital threats. Strengthening Canada’s military capabilities, intelligence operations, and border security will help safeguard the nation’s interests while maintaining peace and stability. Cooperation with allied nations should be balanced with an independent foreign policy that prioritizes Canada’s national interests. Additional security measures should be implemented in financial institutions to prevent fraud, particularly when moving large sums of money. Addressing fraudulent job postings designed to harvest personal information will further safeguard Canadians’ privacy and economic security. Moreover, ensuring services are provided exclusively to Canadian citizens includes implementing a more secure healthcare system, such as requiring photo ID health cards in Alberta, to prevent health card misuse and protect taxpayers from covering services for non-Canadians.
Preserving Canadian Democracy and Cultural Identity
A sovereign Canada must protect its democratic institutions from external influence, ensuring free and fair elections and preventing foreign interference in political processes. Voting reform should be introduced to allow voters to rank their first, second, and third choices, making elections more representative. Additionally, nomination requirements should be adjusted to permit either 100 signatures or a fee, ensuring that there is always a choice for candidates.
Truth & Reconciliation
Protecting Canada’s Sovereignty
Protecting Canada’s Sovereignty
I fully support all 94 Calls to Action for Truth and Reconciliation. It is my hope that the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation will be recognized as a paid national statutory holiday—one where Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians can come together in a shared effort to heal the harm caused by residential schools and move forward in reconciliation. These Calls to Action, shaped by the voices of Survivors, envision an Indigenous-led, independent, and permanent council to ensure sustained progress toward reconciliation in Canada.
Through my volunteer work with the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good, our group has worked closely with the Calgary Police Service (CPS) to implement an Action Training program.
This one-hour training provides a historical overview of policing in Canada and its complex relationship with Indigenous communities. It also highlights the goals of the Calgary Alliance Action Team in holding CPS accountable for their commitments to Truth and Reconciliation. In response to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2-Spirit Report (2019), our group advocated for the creation of Indigenous Liaison Officer positions in every district of the city. Since 2024, the CPS has committed to this initiative, investing in reconciliation efforts and adopting this training program to improve relationships with Calgary’s residents. This has helped de-escalate tensions stemming from historical mistrust of law enforcement.
I hope to see more initiatives like this implemented across Canada, fostering meaningful reconciliation nationwide.
About RAVENMOON CROCKER
Childhood
Ravenmoon Crocker is a first-generation Canadian, born on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation Territory, and currently resides in Calgary, on the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Treaty 7).
Raised in a home that encouraged conversations around social and environmental justice, Ravenmoon's passion for these issues began in childhood. This early interest was sparked by Canadian magazines Owl and Chickadee, which focused on wildlife and nature in Canada. These publications inspired not only a love for the natural world but also a deep concern for protecting all living creatures.
Growing Up and Learning the World
As a young mother attending university, Ravenmoon remained actively engaged in the interest groups she had been involved with since her youth. These included cultural diversity organizations, environmental advocacy, and human rights initiatives. She also began volunteering in the educational sector.
She went on to earn an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Education. During this time, she participated in various protests, including Take Back the Night, which advocated for women's rights and safety in public spaces after dark, as well as anti-war demonstrations.
Personal Goals
After experiencing a brief period of homelessness, Ravenmoon developed a strong interest in affordable housing—an issue that soon expanded into a broader passion for social justice. This includes advocacy for women’s rights, the legalization of cannabis, wildlife and water protection, LGBTQAI2S+ rights, immigration opportunities, and building bridges toward Truth and Reconciliation with Indigenous communities. Ravenmoon also champions health security, advocating for publicly funded access to mental health care, dental services, and physiotherapy.
Deeply committed to the belief that housing is a human right, Ravenmoon has participated in demonstrations to support this cause. (Photo self-taken at a Black Lives Matter protest, Calgary.)
Family
Ravenmoon currently lives in Calgary, Alberta, with her partner, Phil Crocker. When not actively engaged with the Green Party, they can often be found in the mountains, hiking, camping, snowshoeing, and immersing themselves in nature.
Driven by their love for Canada, their commitment to the environment, and a desire to preserve the wilderness for future generations, Ravenmoon and Phil make it a habit to collect one to two bags of garbage left behind by previous campers and hikers on every trip.
