Are you in favor of decriminalizing drug use?

8>8 Personal answerYes

Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties

Should drug traffickers receive the death penalty?

8>8 Personal answerNo, I don't trust the government to decide use of capital punishment. There's simply too many things that could go wrong, especially considering that many death row inmates are actually innocent/potentially falsely convicted. Life in prison instead, and let's decriminalize drugs/even potentially legalize them like Portugal so that nobody dies from tainted drugs in the first place.

the Environment › Freshwater Research

Should the government spend $1 billion on freshwater research to restore and protect large lakes and rivers?

8>8 Personal answerYes

Elections › Electoral Reform

Should Canada switch to a proportional representation voting system?

8>8 Personal answerNo, this could make our government's ability of good governance/efficiency to be compromised, as the government is made up of a broad coalition of different views. I get why people think this is a good idea, as it could preserve a lot of really good ideas that in a FPTP system could be at more risk of being fully eliminated/scratched from budgets, but it could make people lose faith in an already good system that works, and that's why I'm against it. I would prefer a system such as ranked balloting, in which individual people rank their preference in terms of candidates, because most people, when going to the polls, have an idea of at least two or three people they're going to vote for/allows candidates to win based on broad support, rather than pandering to their voter base only.

8>8 Personal answerYes, provided a strict psychological evaluation shows they are no longer a threat to society

the Economy › Labor Unions

Do you believe labor unions help or hurt the economy?

8>8 Personal answerI would say unions have a mix of both. It can make it incredibly hard for business to do some things, and lead to tensions between management/workers. But, while there are these flaws, unions can negotiate for great things, such as better pay, hours, benefits, and other things which help ease the burden on our governments/and help people become less dependent on the government.

Elections › Prime Minister Term Limits

Should term limits be set for the role of Prime Minister?

8>8 Personal answerNo, voters should decide how long they stay in office

Elections › Campaign Finance

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

8>8 Personal answerNo, these types of donations just turn into bribes

the Environment › Local Environmental Guidelines

Should local governments follow environmental guidelines set by the United Nations?

8>8 Personal answerYes, we should follow the goals of the Paris Agreement and take the necessary steps, however we must also look at practical solutions that work for our communities/economy, and work to be the one of the global leaders in environmentalism.

Domestic Policy › Quebec Sovereignty

Should Quebec be granted sovereignty from the rest of Canada?

8>8 Personal answerNo

Crime › Defunding the Police

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

8>8 Personal answerI'm neutral on this. There should be training for police officers so that they feel that they can adequately deal with a situation, even funding for mental health professionals that go on duty with them. But, if social and community based programs show that they do work, we should by all means consider funding them as a way to reduce recidivism. Let's not cut anything first, and let's talk and give adequate consultation to both police departments and community organizations, and then make our decisions based off of that.

Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid

Should Canada increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

8>8 Personal answerI am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato

Should Ukraine join NATO?

8>8 Personal answerYes, but only if they want to. NATO should have an open-door policy to be able to accept them, which they do, but they should not be threatened into doing so/saying no by powers such as Russia.

Domestic Policy › Flag Burning

Should it be illegal to burn the Canadian flag?

8>8 Personal answerNo

Healthcare › World Health Organization

Should the government fund the World Health Organization?

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

the Economy › Tech Monopolies

Should the government break up Amazon, Facebook and Google?

8>8 Personal answerOnly if there is evidence that shows that they are actively interfering with the markets, and making it hard for others to compete. There are other ways that you can reduce the influence, such as banning false content, hate speech, etc.
