Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

@B4NFYRTfrom British Columbia disagreed…60mins60m

Should funding for local police departments be redirected to social and community based programs?

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

Should police departments be allowed to use military grade equipment?

Should the United States provide military supplies and funding to Ukraine?

Should the U.S. remain in the United Nations?

We should maintain a presence at the UN only so that Canada is represented. The mandate and benefit of the United Nations has changed drastically and is now in…

Should the military use weapons guided by artificial intelligence?

It is going to happen regardless of my opinion. This becomes a battle of politics, humanitarian efforts, war crimes.

@B4ND9T9from British Columbia answered…3hrs3H

Should Ukraine join NATO?

It is ludicrous to think that other countries should not stand up against the war in the Ukraine because a country is a member of NATO or not. Countries are pr…
