Should there be more or less privatization of hospital and healthcare services?

Should Canadian aboriginals receive more government funds?

Should disposable products (such as plastic cups, plates, and cutlery) that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material be banned?

I am for a major plastic ban of most single use products. Plastic utensils and straws may already be banned, but there's still product packaging with unnecessar…

Should the government regulate artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure ethical use?

That’s a question for AI companies and employees. I can’t imagine any Canadian companies asking unethical practices from their employees. I would worry more w…

Should the government require tech companies to provide backdoor access to encrypted communications for national security purposes?

Maybe since threats are everywhere nowadays. It shouldn’t be a problem if there’s nothing to hide. Must have some kind of confidential documentation between bo…

Should the government subsidize home buyers who make less than $120K per year?

Not if it’s to take more taxes from the middle class. They already pay enough to cover dental plan, $10 daycares and education. Cutting some salaries to half i…

Should non-violent prisoners be released from jail in order to reduce overcrowding?

It depends on their overall risk to the community based on their crime. There should be better screening tools prior to release, keep those at high risk of reof…

Which political party do you most identify with?

Idelogically, I share more in common with the New Democratic Party, but I understand that in this election, voting for the Liberal Party will be more beneficial…

Do you support the use of nuclear energy?

Yes, there is too much misinformation about nuclear energy; it is a safe and efficient source of energy with zero emissons.

Do you support the government calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza?

Yes, as long as both the Israeli government/military are charged with war crimes in accordance to the Geneva Conventions and that it doesn't violate the ceasefi…

Should it be illegal to burn our national flag?

As long as it is not private/public property and the arsonist has ownership of it then it doesn't matter.

@B4J3D6Jfrom Alberta answered…10hrs10H

Should the government break up Amazon, Facebook and Google?

The Canadian government should instead focus on large businesses within its own country instead: Bell, Rogers, Enmax, etc.

@B4J2NK3from Alberta answered…11hrs11H

Should disposable products (such as plastic cups, plates, and cutlery) that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material be banned?

I think reducing plastic consumption is important but think the replacements that companies switched to are inferior and cause frustration to the consumer.

@B4HZSYNfrom British Columbia answered…12hrs12H

Should immigrants from high risk countries be banned from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential terrorists?

No, but regularly review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens and did not commit a serious crime

@B4J3VX2from Ontario answered…9hrs9H

Should the government increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

I think current amount is fine as long as it’s to friendly allied countries. However not adding to deficit.
