Is it the government's role to regulate businesses to protect the environment, even if it means lower profits for those businesses?

 @9HB9MGQfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, the government is responsible for regulating businesses and protecting the environment.

 @9H6DWBKfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

It is, the government is responsible for our actions but also the countries activities. The government must think about what is important for each citizen and how they can be useful for them. A government is supposed to be caring and they have to be giving fair treatment to everyone.

 @9HBY8MVfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

The environment should be protected, but we should also make sure that the economy is at a good standpoint.

Can a commitment to reducing the income gap between the rich and the poor improve society overall, or does it unfairly penalize success?

 @9HDYNFKfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

government should stop trying to destroy small business and the middle class. Only then will there be equity. People should work hard to get what they want and not expect a hand out

If given the choice, would you vote for a candidate who supports raising the minimum wage, even if it could increase the price of everyday items?

If it could further increase the already insanely high prices of every day items like groceries and hygiene items that should be a basic right, then no. Some of us who are unemployed and cannot find work are barely scraping by as is without the prices being raised further.
