[6] The NCA has been variously described as far-right,[7][8][9][10] alt-right,[11][12] right-wing populist,[13] national conservative,[14] white nationalist,[15] anti-immigration,[7][16] and Islamophobic.

The party also advocates for the deportation of all illegal immigrants who entered Canada through the United States as part of a Safe Third Country Agreement loophole.

[30] The leader of the NCA, Stephen Garvey, is known for his support of several far-right conspiracy theories, and in turn the party's policies have also reflected such beliefs.

[18] In early 2021, the NCA released a statement denouncing its coverage on Wikipedia, claiming that "communists and Marxists" had been paid by mainstream media to spread misinformation about the party on the open online encyclopedia.

[33] The party also supports the conspiracy theory that exposure to 5G radio waves leads to adverse health effects and 5G technology is being used for mass surveillance on behalf of the government.

[38] He was the lead organizer of a March 2017 protest in Calgary against Motion 103 (M-103), a non-binding resolution in the federal House of Commons which condemned Islamophobia and all other forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.

[31][40] He also dismisses the existence of Islamophobia as "complete nonsense ... created in the 1990s by the Muslim Brotherhood for the sole reason to silence criticism on Islam.

[37][44] Garvey, former candidate Kulbir Singh Chawla and several other National Advancement supporters were interrupted later that month at another press conference by marchers from the anti-fascist group Calgary Antifa.

Singh classified the encounter as racist and other politicians, including Justin Trudeau and Andrew Scheer, released statements condemning racism and discrimination in response to the video.
