Should the government subsidize the building of 1.4 million new homes over the next four years?

Not enough single family homes, too many multi family homes being built, too many houses being demolished to make room for multiple homes on the property

@B4NK5F7from British Columbia answered…23mins23m

Should foreigners be banned from buying homes in Canada for 2 years?

If they have the $ and it doesn't affect the citizens who cannot afford to buy and they only buy the home they plan to reside in. Or if they rent it out at a re…

Should AI be used to make decisions in criminal justice systems?

No, AI can be used as part of the process to aid decision making but should not make the final decision

@B4NJ4GHfrom Alberta answered…2hrs2H

Question is confusing, do you mean spend more on Canadian military or spend money on weapons for Ukraine?

@B4NJ3NBfrom Alberta answered…2hrs2H

Should the government increase funding for homeless shelters and services?

The government should spend their money on long term housing. Not short term solutions like shelters

@B4NHM79from Ontario answered…3hrs3H

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

Will that really make any difference. The mindset of those fighting is not about to be swayed by a government telling them to 'stop it'.

@B4NH389from Manitoba disagreed…4hrs4H

Should foreigners, currently residing in the United States, have the right to vote?

Yes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote

Anyone who lives in our communities and is currently affected by how the country is ran should have some kind of say. Anyone who doesn't shouldn't.

@B4NGYDDfrom Ontario answered…4hrs4H

Should the government ban its citizens from using cross-border payment methods (like crypto) to send money to relatives in OFAC sanctioned countries (Palestine,…

@B4NGYDDfrom Ontario answered…4hrs4H

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

@B2FBTL8 from Washington disagreed…4hrs4H

Should universities be held financially accountable if graduates, with degrees leading to lower income jobs, default on their student loans?

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

It is unfair to the students that after getting all these academic achievements through their hard work, that they have to blow off half their wealth just to ke…

@B4NGYDDfrom Ontario answered…4hrs4H

Should the government regulate social media sites, as a means to prevent fake news and misinformation?

No, the government should not regulate, but they should make an effort to correct false information.

@B4NGYDDfrom Ontario answered…4hrs4H

Do you support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources?

No, but I understand we need it to a degree. We should look into a more sustainable and affordable energy source, but until then, I understand relying on oil an…

@B4NGPMWfrom Manitoba answered…4hrs4H

Should low income international students be provided with a free education?

Subsidize students based on a needs-based criteria, and subsidize enrolment in courses that, based on hiring data, are most likely to result in employment immed…

@B4NGPMWfrom Manitoba answered…4hrs4H

Should postsecondary education be a provincial or federal responsibility?

Better profs go to institutions with better pay. Some institutions provide poor course selection and inadequate training due to imbalanced salaries for research…

@B4NFYRTfrom British Columbia disagreed…5hrs5H

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

Now that's just plain stupid. Sending do-gooders along instead of police to respond to calls pre-supposes that no violence could occur.

@B4NFYRTfrom British Columbia disagreed…5hrs5H

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

Yes, and abolish the police

When you're in trouble would you be best advised to call the police, a social worker or a drug addict?

@B4NFYRTfrom British Columbia agreed…5hrs5H

Should foreigners, currently residing in the United States, have the right to vote?

We already have issues with foreign interference in our elections. We need more checks and balances, not fewer.

@B4NFYRTfrom British Columbia disagreed…5hrs5H

Should foreigners, currently residing in the United States, have the right to vote?

Yes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote

No, if one wants to control or have input into Canada's current operations or future, they must become citizens

What is your stance on abortion? Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. Abortion was banned in …

women should have autonomy over their bodies, a right to decide what to do with their bodies, and it’s a health hazard to ban abortion.

@B4ND9T9from British Columbia answered…8hrs8H

Should postsecondary education be a provincial or federal responsibility?

What is it now? I believe that the standards for education should be at a federal level. But that the actual execution and teaching should be at the provincia…

Do you support charter schools? Charter schools are tax payer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. In the U.S. there are approximately 2.9…
