Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt?

No, but increase the ultra-rich tax, reduce the unneeded government employees, reduce the pay for government officials, and stop things like giving unnecessary money away.

Yes, drastic cuts or complete elimination to all areas of government that are not involved with national and border defense. Eliminate the RCMP and allow provinces to construct provincial police and local police with elected sheriffs or police chiefs.

Reduce government salaries and government spending on unnecessary things, reduce number of government officials and agencies

No, sometimes it's okay to have debt. You need to have experienced debt to get into certain university courses.

We need to control government spending

Introduce a tax Freeze and only spend what the goverment takes in no borrowing money

No, stop sending money to other nations as pay outs or humanitarian missions

they could find a better way

Only focus on spending on the economy and communities and the rest of the money use them toward the dept.

Yes as long as the government does not cut healthcare

yes, stop sending money abroad and bring in immigrants that need public support

Don't pay interest and make sure there's no debt.

Ideally not and I think the answer lies in how we tax major multinationals like Amazon and Walmart. They are literally destroying the local economy and even more so since the pandemic.

Eventually, yes. We should attract tax experts to work at the CRA by offering them high salaries and the cost of employing them will be repaid since tax revenues from better enforcement of current tax rules should substantially increase.

Increase public spending but redirect direct payments toward infrastructure development.

Reduce foreign aid and focus more on people in need in Canada

No, and do not raise taxes on the wealthy as that isn’t fair.

No - It should reduce the amount paid in foreign aid and to criminals.

No. Instead focus on not spending more on things Canada does not need in order to reapy debts

Make cuts to the government’s already high wages...

Yes, and cut unnecessary jobs in the public sector.

No, but cut environmental funding

Depends on what and why. Use the right tool for the right job.

no, don't vote in politicians that will blow-out the country/provinces money

No, but they should spend the money more wisely

No, but increase taxes on large corporations and lower salaries of government officials

focus on lowering taxes and have the government spend less of the people's money

Due to unnecessary, sporadic spending by the current government, I cannot make an answer

Make cuts, re-allocate funds, adjust salaries and benefits of government workers (but not drastically)

I think the government needs to stop sending so much money to other countries our debt is lowered. When a person owes a lot of money, they need to curb their spending, our government needs to do the same.

The government spends foolishly so yes make cuts. Let citizens decide where the money goes from there paycheque.stop throwing money to the indigenous as that is not solving anything. Stop spending on immigrants who live off of the system. Stop throwing money at things that not help the whole economy

Somewhat yes, there are way too many outs for free compensation. But the multinational corporations definitely need there tax loopholes revoked and must pay a higher tax.

I do not understand the question

I would say Yes, but it depends what of public spending is compromised. Solutions such as increasing taxes on the rich or on corporations also work instead of compromising spending.

Defund the police

Yes, and reduce military spending, increase taxes on large multi national corporations and slightly increase taxes on the wealthy

Some cuts but it should be made but not all

They should lower emergency spending gradually, as well as, taxing the 1% and lowering government officials salaries.

No, stop sending so much money overseas to fund abortion, or fund terrorism

Yes, and work to end tax evasion

No, work to end tax evasion and wasteful spending

Yes, repeal and replace the welfare state with UBI

Make cuts to the welfare system to use to pay off the debt.

50% flat (or proportional) tax on all individuals and corporate entities (e.g. companies, corporations, franchises, businesses, etc) regardless of income

No, but reduce military spending and eliminate all federal agencies that are unconstitutional!

Yes, but keep everything vital

No, all the politicans need to recieve minimum wage until they pay off our debt.

We should only cut unnecessary spending.

Yes, and reduce non-military executive spending

No, reduce executive spending

Yes, and increase taxes on large multinational corporations and other companies who receive government contracts and assistance.

No, but eliminate all federal agencies that are unconstitutional!

Yes. I fancy the idea of the government hiring professionals to evaluate spending regularly to require government funds be used as efficiently as possible/practical. Eliminate non-vital costs we cannot yet afford, even if they could be part of an ideal world. We must work our way up to a better world wisely, and that means getting out of debt as much as possible.

Yes. Abolish the Department Of Education, Energy, Transportation, and a number of other industries, as well as reduce military spending, and eliminating other major expenses that can be provided better on the state level.

Yes, we can do this by privatizing and stopping social security, cutting funding to other countries, and more

Yes. There are too many wasteful programs that would be more effective on a state level.

reduce politicians benefits, reduce military spending, end tax evasion, and increase taxes on multinational corporations

Yes, but also create and keep a government budget and reduce military spending

Cut public spending that is unnecessary.
