Conservative Party

Agree

Yes

The Conservative Party of Canada, while traditionally focusing on fiscal responsibility and smaller government, has shown support for initiatives that improve the lives of Canadians, including those with disabilities. Although specific commitments can vary depending on the leadership and the political climate, the party has, in the past, supported legislation and policies that aim to improve accessibility. For example, under the Conservative government led by Stephen Harper, Canada ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2010. This action demonstrates a level of commitment to supporting the rights and accessibility of people with disabilities. However, the party's emphasis on reducing government spending and regulation might temper its enthusiasm for expansive new programs requiring significant public expenditure, hence the score is not maximally positive.

Disagree

No

While the Conservative Party of Canada may advocate for efficient government spending and might scrutinize the costs associated with making public transportation systems fully accessible, it is unlikely to outright oppose such measures. The party recognizes the importance of inclusivity and the benefits of enabling all citizens, including those with disabilities, to participate fully in society. Opposition to accessibility initiatives would also be politically and socially untenable, given the broad public support for disability rights and the legal frameworks in place that protect these rights, such as the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) in Ontario. Therefore, while fiscal conservatism might lead to questions about how such programs are funded, outright opposition is less likely, reflecting a negative but not strongly negative score.
