Affordability & Housing
Fuel and transportation costs
Conservative's promises
"Conservative Deputy Leader Melissa Lantsman announced today that a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre will scrap the tolls on the Confederation Bridge to save residents and businesses over $50 every time they travel to the mainland." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
"This $50 million commitment will cover the operating costs for the Confederation Bridge which is currently paid for with tolls. It will end the unfair tax that Islanders have to pay just to leave their own province, keeping more of their money in their pockets." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
"Conservatives will also immediately conduct a review of federal support for the Wood Islands-Caribou ferry." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Home ownership
Conservative's promise
"A Poilievre government would fund this homebuyers’ tax cut by eliminating $8 billion of the Liberals’ bureaucratic housing schemes that have only driven up housing prices. Conservatives will also incentivize municipalities to free up land, speed up permits and cut development charges to build 15% more homes each year." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Tax measures and rebates
Conservative's promise
"Poilievre announced he will cut income tax by 15%, dropping the tax rate on the lowest income tax bracket from 15% to 12.75%, meaning the average Canadian worker earning $57,000 will save $900, with two income families saving $1,800 a year. It’s time to let Canadians keep more of what they earn." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Jobs, Businesses, & Labour
Investment
Conservative's promise
"Nothing about Canadians’ existing TFSAs would change. The existing $7,000 limit would remain, but Canadians will now be able to contribute up to an additional $5,000 a year, if that money supports Canadian companies that employ Canadian workers and pay Canadian taxes. The tax system already defines Canadian investments, and a Poilievre government will create a definition that lets financial institutions and advisors label which stocks, mutual funds and other investments can go into your Canada First TFSA Top-Up." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17

Biography
Dave Carroll is ready to bring strong leadership and real solutions to Ottawa as the Conservative candidate for Sackville-Bedford-Preston. A longtime advocate, musician, and author, Dave has built a career on giving people a voice and holding powerful institutions accountable—skills he will now put to work for his community.
After earning a degree in political science from Carleton University, Dave moved to Nova Scotia in 1993, where he and his wife Jill have raised their family in Waverley for over 20 years. His academic foundation in political theory and public policy, combined with his decades of experience as a storyteller and advocate, gives him the ability to cut through the noise and fight for the people he represents. He understands the issues that matter to families, workers, and small business owners—and he knows how to make their voices heard.
Dave first made international headlines with his viral video “United Breaks Guitars,” which forced a major corporation to change its practices and became a case study in how one person can drive real change. His book, United Breaks Guitars: The Power of One Voice in the Age of Social Media, further established him as an expert in advocacy and accountability.
A dedicated community leader, Dave has served as a volunteer firefighter, is currently the Vice President of the Kidney Foundation of Canada (Atlantic), and has used his talents to support countless local causes over the years. He also coaches youth basketball with the Fall River Rebels, helping to develop young leaders on and off the court.
Now, Dave is running to bring that same passion and determination to federal politics. His priorities include:
✅ Fighting for Lower Taxes and Smarter Spending – Ensuring families keep more of what they earn.
✅ Advocating for Local Jobs and Small Businesses – Making it easier to start and grow a business.
✅ Protecting Families and Strengthening Communities – Stopping crime in our communities and making our streets safer.
✅ Putting Canadians First, for a change – Protect Canadians from the threat of Donald TrumpDave Carroll is ready to stand up for you!
