Healthcare › COVID Mask Mandate

Should the government require people to wear face masks in public during the COVID pandemic?

J>J Personal answerYes

Social › Abortion

What is your stance on abortion?

J>J Personal answerPro-choice, the government has no right to dictate what a woman does with her body, and healthcare should provide birth control, and sex education should be taught in schools, as well as more social services should be provided to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place.

Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

J>J Personal answerNo! Whoever's idea this is is a moron! We need fewer guns, not more! When looking at countries with very strict gun laws or even no guns allowed, I know people are shocked by this, those countries have very low numbers of gun-related crimes and deaths. Teachers most certainly should not be armed. This also sends the wrong message to young, impressionable students.

Healthcare › Mental Health

Should the government increase funding for mental health research and treatment?

J>J Personal answerYes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services

Social › LGBT Adoption Rights

Should gay couples have the same adoption rights as straight couples?

J>J Personal answerYes

Social › Gender Transition

Should people under the age of 18 years old be able to receive gender-transition treatments?

J>J Personal answerYes, and denying healthcare to people is un-American and a violation of personal freedom, the founding basis of this country.

Social › Gay Marriage

Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?

J>J Personal answerYes

Social › Gender Identity

Should “gender identity” be added to anti-discrimination laws?

J>J Personal answerYes

Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service

Should every 18 year old citizen be required to provide at least one year of military service?

J>J Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation

the Economy › Taxes

Should Canada raise taxes on the rich?

J>J Personal answerYes

Social › Gender Workplace Diversity

Should businesses be required to have women on their board of directors?

J>J Personal answerYes, but for purposes of greater perspective in the cooperation.

Immigration › Citizenship Test

Should immigrants be required to pass a citizenship test to demonstrate a basic understanding of our country’s language, history, and government?

J>J Personal answerYes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics

Social › Euthanasia

Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?

J>J Personal answerYes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants

Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

J>J Personal answerNo, only if they have entered the country illegally

Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare

Do you support a single-payer healthcare system?

J>J Personal answerYes

the Economy › Minimum Wage

Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?

J>J Personal answerYes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation

Should immigrants be required to learn English?

J>J Personal answerNo, we should embrace the diversity that immigrants add to our country

the Economy › Universal Basic Income

Do you support a universal basic income program?

J>J Personal answerThis should only be implemented for people earning under a certain amount, and the minimum wage should be raised to prevent needing programs like this.

Domestic Policy › Gun Control

Should there be more restrictions on the current process of purchasing a gun?

J>J Personal answerThe Second Amendment reads "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed," and based off of my interpretation, people should be able to have guns, but they cannot use them unless they are forming a militia against the government, and since nobody is forming a militia against the United States government, nobody should have a gun. If they wish to form a militia, I wish them the best of luck against the U.S. Armed Forces.

the Economy › Corporate Tax

Should Canada raise or lower the tax rate for corporations?

J>J Personal answerRaise

Social › Transgender Athletes

Should transgender athletes be allowed to compete against athletes that differ from their assigned sex at birth?

J>J Personal answerYes

Social › Death Penalty

Do you support the death penalty?

J>J Personal answerNo, spending life in prison is a harsher sentence, but the prison system is flawed anyway. American jails should not be for profit and they should provide rehabilitation programs to inmates.

Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban

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

J>J Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional

Social › Niqāb

Should women be allowed to wear a Niqāb, or face veil, to civic ceremonies?

J>J Personal answerYes, we should respect all cultural traditions, and not letting them wear a Niqab is a violation of the first amendment.

Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation

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

J>J Personal answerNo, the government controlling the media is how events in China, North Korea, and East Germany do/have occur.

Crime › Private Prisons

Should the government hire private companies to run prisons?

J>J Personal answerNo, private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit

Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality

Should internet service providers be allowed to speed up access to popular websites (that pay higher rates) at the expense of slowing down access to less popular websites (that pay lower rates)?

J>J Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet

Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections

Should the government attempt to influence foreign elections?

J>J Personal answerNo, and we should not try to influence any other country’s elections or policy

Social › Women in Combat

Should the military allow women to serve in combat roles?

J>J Personal answerYes

Foreign Policy › United Nations

Should Canada maintain a presence at the United Nations?

J>J Personal answerYes

Immigration › High Risk Immigrant Ban

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

J>J Personal answerNo, but extra care should be taken to screen these individuals.

Elections › Mental competency testing

Should politicians over 75 years of age have required to pass a mental competency test?

J>J Personal answerNo, this is a waste of time and money.

Elections › Criminal Politicians

Should a politician, who has been formerly convicted of a crime, be allowed to run for office?

J>J Personal answerYes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence

Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties

Should drug traffickers receive the death penalty?

J>J Personal answerNo, I do not believe in the death penalty

Domestic Policy › Drug Policy

Are you in favor of decriminalizing drug use?

J>J Personal answerRecreational drug use should be decriminalized for "light" drugs, specifically marijuana. Abuse of prescription medication, such as opioids, or use of drugs such as heroin or crack-cocaine, should be criminalized and those arrested should receive help while serving time in a rehab center rather than a penitentiary.

Immigration › Skilled Immigrants

Should Canada increase or decrease the amount of temporary work visas given to high-skilled immigrant workers?

J>J Personal answerDecrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

Healthcare › Safe Haven

Should cities open drug “safe havens” where people who are addicted to illegal drugs can use them under the supervision of medical professionals?

J>J Personal answerYes, and these people should be guided towards rehabilitation services under a government-funded health care system.

Elections › Campaign Finance

Should there be a limit to the amount of money a candidate can receive from a donor?

J>J Personal answerYes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing

the Economy › Four-day Workweek

Should Canada transition to a four-day workweek?

Should researchers be allowed to use animals in testing the safety of drugs, vaccines, medical devices, and cosmetics?

J>J Personal answerYes, but not for cosmetics

the Environment › Fracking

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

J>J Personal answerNot only should there be more research conducted on the long term effects, but we should shift our focus to more sustainable energy sources such as nuclear power.

Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass

Should the government require employees of large businesses to be vaccinated from COVID?

J>J Personal answerNo, I think businesses should require vaccination but not by government mandate

Housing › Homeless Encampments

Should homeless individuals, that have refused available shelter or housing, be allowed to sleep or encamp on public property?

J>J Personal answerNo

Healthcare › Marijuana

Do you support the legalization of Marijuana?

J>J Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote

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

J>J Personal answerYes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote

Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding

Should Canada provide military supplies and funding to Ukraine?

J>J Personal answerYes

Elections › Campaign Finance

Should corporations, unions, and non-profit organizations be allowed to donate to political parties?

J>J Personal answerNo because these donations can lead to bribery and to certain groups of people being targeted, intimidated, and having limited voting access.

the Economy › Economic Stimulus

Should the government use economic stimulus to aid the country during times of recession?

J>J Personal answerYes and increase spending on infrastructure to create and sustain jobs in many industries.

Should the government pass laws which protect whistleblowers?

J>J Personal answerYes

the Economy › Welfare

Should there be fewer or more restrictions on current welfare benefits?

J>J Personal answerFewer, and ensure benefits go to those that need it most

Foreign Policy › Israeli Palestinian Conflict

Which side of the Israeli Palestinian conflict do you sympathize with more?

J>J Personal answerPeople living in Gaza and the West Bank do not have easy lives and are being controlled by a terrorist organization, Hamas. Israel does not treat Gaza and the West Bank kindly, but Israel is being demonized for ultimately one thing: being a Jewish state. The underlying issue in the Israel-Palestine conflict is extreme terrorist groups controlling narratives and rampant antisemitism.

Crime › Defunding the Police

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

J>J Personal answerYes

Crime › Demilitarize the Police

Should police departments be allowed to use military grade equipment?

J>J Personal answerNo, extreme situations should be handled by higher agencies with specialized training and equipment

J>J Personal answerNo, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

the Economy › Government Spending

J>J Personal answerNo, increase taxes on large multinational corporations instead

Elections › Minimum Voting Age

Should the minimum voting age be lowered?

J>J Personal answerNo

Elections › Candidate Transparency

Should political candidates be required to release their recent tax returns to the public?

J>J Personal answerYes, absolutely. We cannot have bigots and billionaires hiding their money in offshore bank accounts. It is not right as an American and violates tax laws, especially for earnings within the United States.

Housing › High density residential buildings

Should the government incentivize the construction of high density residential buildings?

J>J Personal answerYes

the Economy › Domestic Jobs

Should the government provide tax incentives to private companies to keep jobs within the country?

J>J Personal answerYes, NAFTA helps lower the prices of consumer products

Transportation › Public Transportation

Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

J>J Personal answerAbsolutely. The advantages go far beyond getting around. Adding train lines and bus routes will ease congestion, reduce oil usage, and create jobs as well as access to jobs formally unreachable. Mass transit is key to a successful economy and society.

J>J Personal answerYes

Foreign Policy › Military Spending

J>J Personal answerThey should be put into rehabilitation programs. American prisons have the wrong goal: they should not be for profit, they should be for help.

Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media

Should social media companies ban political advertising?

J>J Personal answerThey should only allow political advertising if there is equal representation of all different views, the information in the advertisement is proven to be accurate and not misleading, and the media company has nothing to gain either politically or monetarily from running the advertisement.

the Economy › Tech Monopolies

Should the government break up Amazon, Facebook and Google?

Foreign Policy › AI Warfare Ethics

Should the military use weapons guided by artificial intelligence?

J>J Personal answerNo

the Environment › Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
