8>8  Personal answerYes, and education should be a partner in health and well being with an early focus on interpersonal skill set development, self awareness, self soothing, self regulation, delay gratification, problem solving and communications. These are the fundamental tools for safe and healthy relationship building, key to supporting overall health and well being. We need to see mental haleth as part of, not separate from physical health.

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerRe structure the system with provincial plans developed collaboratively between equitable representation from nurses, doctors, other health care workers, and patient input. Politicians should not be deciding how and what gets funded or has priority in health care. Elective surgeries should be available through public and private institutions, with subsidy for low income patients to access what is most readily available.

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerMilitary service should be a choice. A stronger emphasis on education and skill development would make military service more attractive and available to a broader range of applicants. Also clean up sexual misconduct and abuse to make military service safe for women, LGBTQ, and men who are vulnerable to sexual exploitation and abuse from abusers in positions of power and authority.

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerIncrease for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

8>8  Personal answerCore healthcare services should be government funded and accessible to all Canadians. Canada should be producing our own prescription drugs and ensuring equitable access to all Canadians.

8>8  Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production

8>8  Personal answerNo

8>8  Personal answerProvincial, but with federal funding and regulated standards

8>8  Personal answerNo

8>8  Personal answerSubsidies for homeowners to make better use of renewable resources, greening of homes and building or retrofitting homes to improve energy efficiency and independence from the public power grid, and individual producer opportunities to feed back into the grid

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerAs long as it was not committed while in office, was no a felony, violent, financial or sexual crime, is not currently under investigation, and was not committed while in office. Politicians must be held to high standards, while recognizing that people make mistakes and individual accountability and reform should not hold someone back from public office.

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerSupporting safe drug use for addicts should be seen as part of rehab, and collaboration here can increase addict opportunities for self sufficiency and reintegration into safe and caring social networks. We now have world models that support this approach and demonstrate the success of this approach. In Canada, Dr. Gabor Mate is a leader in this approach, and we should take advantage of the results we have seen with his work to build appropriate resources for dealing with addictions.

8>8  Personal answerYes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

8>8  Personal answerI have been on a waitlist for total knee replacement services for three years now. Prior to being on the waitlist I was managing my pain with SNAIDs, which caused severe side effects that significantly impacted my health in a negative way. I have been able to manage my pain and improve my mobility, flexibility, and stability for three years on medicinal marijuana. I think there should be more health care research on the use of and benefits of medicinal marijuana, prescriptions should be funded and not taxed. I would be in a wheel chare today without it, and with wait lists for surgery as long as they are, it has literally been a lifesaver for me.

8>8  Personal answerPrison should be an opportunity for reform, which can only happen if we work from a trauma based perspective to help those in the system transform their lives and be able to contribute to society in a meaningful way. There also needs to be the skill at the level of considering pardons, to accurately evaluate a prisoner's rehabilitation, and to link them with community resources that will support reintegration into the public.

8>8  Personal answerNo, only legal citizens should be allowed to vote

8>8  Personal answerA strong voice for workplace issues should be a standard for workplace culture to ensure the needs, concerns, ideas, and contributions of the workplace are recognized and responded to, are inclusive and collaborative, and contribute to safety and well being of employees in addition to sustainable workplace goals.

8>8  Personal answerGovernments should set the rules that make home or land ownership possible without competing with corporations or wealthy individuals. Governments should put ceilings on dwelling rental rates that keep these rates balanced with income averages.

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerMore, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

8>8  Personal answerNo

8>8  Personal answerAdjust the tax system by ending tax evasion, implement a foreign ownership tax for those who buy Canadian homes and properties, tax the wealthy, and tax the profits of corporations and big business profits that are made from Canadian resources including our human resources. We need to shift the mindset that corporations are doing us a favor by being here, to one the recognizes their responsibilities to sustainability, environmental stewardship, and employee safety and compensation.

8>8  Personal answerNo

8>8  Personal answerYes, and the tax should be at least 10%

8>8  Personal answerProvincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerUtilize Military spending to respond to disaster services, participation in response to terrorism within the country, and peacekeeping response globally, with waging war always as last resort.

8>8  Personal answerNo, the bill is too vague on the issues of scope, oversight, and accountability

8>8  Personal answerYes, but only relative to the amount that other countries contribute

8>8  Personal answerYes

8>8  Personal answerPublic education needs to be adequately resourced, and should not be connected to religious institutions. There should be minimal Federal Standards to ensure equity across the provinces, and equal access to quality education for all Canadians. Education needs to offer opportunity for students to attain knowledge and skills that they can use to acquire employment locally, or globally

8>8  Personal answeryes, with regulations in place that regulate privacy safe guards and appropriate use of technology. There needs to be taxes on this use, as well as on other forms of technology that replace people jobs.
