What could make this app better?

Some of the questions are dated or ambiguous, some do not seem to be in the right category. Just have it reviewed.

Should the government increase or decrease military spending?

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

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

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'.

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.

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

No, but instate limits to how much can be sent and more closely monitor transactions to sanctioned countries.

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

No, people from high risk countries should go through a higher screening process, but not be banned completely.

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…

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.

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…

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…

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
