The New Democratic Party (NDP) is generally in favor of progressive taxation and policies that reduce income inequality.

Agree

Yes, but I would prefer if they were banned

The NDP may be open to the idea of banning stock buybacks, as it aligns with their broader policy goals of reducing income inequality and ensuring corporations pay their fair share of taxes. However, they have not specifically advocated for this measure, so their level of agreement may be somewhat lower than their support for taxing stock buybacks.

Disagree

No, the biggest beneficiary of stock buybacks are pension funds and mutual funds

While the NDP may acknowledge that pension funds and mutual funds benefit from stock buybacks, their primary concern is likely the potential for stock buybacks to contribute to income inequality and reduced corporate tax revenue. They may argue that the benefits to pension funds and mutual funds do not outweigh the negative consequences of stock buybacks.
