Social › Abortion

What is your stance on abortion?

9>9 Personal answerPro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions

Domestic Policy › Armed Teachers

Should teachers be allowed to carry guns at school?

9>9 Personal answerNo, this would increase the risk of accidental shootings

Healthcare › Mental Health

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

9>9 Personal answerYes

Social › LGBT Adoption Rights

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

9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples

Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance

Should the government be able to monitor phone calls and emails?

9>9 Personal answerYes, but only by court order

Healthcare › Prescription Drugs

Should prescription drugs be covered under Canada’s universal healthcare plan?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Healthcare › Mental Health Funding

Should the government increase funding for mental health initiatives?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Social › Gay Marriage

9>9 Personal answerYes

Social › Gender Transition

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

Social › Gender Identity

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

9>9 Personal answerYes

the Economy › Taxes

Should Canada raise taxes on the rich?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service

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

9>9 Personal answerNo, not every civilian should have to serve in the military. I realize that I am privileged saying this, as many countries such as Finland and South Korea require it, to defend against Russia and North Korea. But in an ideal world, service should be a choice instead of an obligation.

Social › Hate Speech

Should hate speech be protected by freedom of speech laws?

9>9 Personal answerNo, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

Healthcare › Dental Coverage

Should preventative dental care be covered under Canada’s universal healthcare plan?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Social › Euthanasia

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

9>9 Personal answerYes

Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare

Do you support a single-payer healthcare system?

9>9 Personal answerYes

the Economy › Universal Basic Income

Do you support a universal basic income program?

9>9 Personal answerIt should be studied and looked at. But I could see a lot of things going wrong with a program such as this. I think people would switch to jobs that are much more inclined to their interests, rather than doing jobs simply because they have to pay bills, which is a positive and I do think people would be happier. But, does it give future governments the opportunity to cut vital social programs/and harm the social safety net? I don't know, and this is what concerns me in the long run.

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

9>9 Personal answerYes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training

Healthcare › Healthcare Privatization

Should there be more or less privatization of hospital and healthcare services?

9>9 Personal answerLess, and provide more government funding

the Environment › Environmental Regulation

Should the government increase environmental regulations on businesses to reduce carbon emissions?

9>9 Personal answerYes

the Environment › Logging

Should Canada allow the logging of old growth forests?

9>9 Personal answerNo, preservation of our forests outweighs the economic benefits

Social › Death Penalty

Do you support the death penalty?

9>9 Personal answerNo, too many people are innocently convicted

Social › Niqāb

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

9>9 Personal answerYes

Healthcare › Healthcare

Should healthcare be a provincial or federal responsibility?

9>9 Personal answerProvincial, but with federal funding and regulated standards

Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation

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

9>9 Personal answerYes, it's needed as there is lots of misinformation on the internet, and there needs to be fact-checkers that show accurate information, that give people the full story of what is happening.

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)?

9>9 Personal answerNo

Should the military allow women to serve in combat roles?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Should the government attempt to influence foreign elections?

9>9 Personal answerNo

the Economy › Universal Child Care

Should the federal government subsidize universal child care?

9>9 Personal answerYes

the Environment › Renewable Energy

Should the federal government subsidize the production and consumption of renewable energy sources?

9>9 Personal answerCertainly. We need research and development to be made on different types of renewable power and electricity, to help solve climate change.

Foreign Policy › United Nations

Should Canada maintain a presence at the United Nations?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Domestic Policy › Drug Policy

Are you in favor of decriminalizing drug use?

9>9 Personal answerYes, but a lot of things could go wrong.

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?

9>9 Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue

Elections › Campaign Finance

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

9>9 Personal answerYes

Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass

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

9>9 Personal answerYes

Should Canada switch to a proportional representation voting system?

the Environment › Animal Testing

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

9>9 Personal answerYes

Healthcare › Marijuana

Do you support the legalization of Marijuana?

9>9 Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

Domestic Policy › Commuter Rail

Should the federal government invest in urban, commuter rail infrastructure?

9>9 Personal answerYes

the Environment › Northern Gateway Pipeline

Do you support the Northern Gateway pipeline project?

9>9 Personal answerNo

Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote

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

9>9 Personal answerYes, but they should only be allowed to vote in local elections

Elections › Prime Minister Term Limits

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

9>9 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?

9>9 Personal answerNo

the Economy › Labor Unions

Do you believe labor unions help or hurt the economy?

9>9 Personal answerA mix of both, but overall unions are a force for good in the world. Many of the labour rights we take for granted, such as the 8 hour workday, and weekends off (of course, depending on profession) were fought for by unions.

Crime › Defunding the Police

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

9>9 Personal answerNo, this could have the capability to be disastrous, as every community has different needs. I say instead of outright abolishment, have a look at police budgets and give more funding if there needs to be more training and programs for officers to get help, but also invest in community-based programs to reduce crime if they prove effective in doing so, such as those of the John Howard Society.

Domestic Policy › Quebec Sovereignty

Should Quebec be granted sovereignty from the rest of Canada?

9>9 Personal answerNo

Elections › Minimum Voting Age

Should the minimum voting age be lowered?

9>9 Personal answerNo

Foreign Policy › Ukraine

Should the U.S. and NATO use military forces to defend Ukraine from a Russian invasion?

9>9 Personal answerYes, if they invade a NATO member, such as Poland, Hungary, or Romania. Otherwise, they should keep doing what we're doing now, sending aid/weapons for Ukraine to defend itself.

the Economy › Government Spending

Should the government make cuts to public spending in order to reduce the national debt?

9>9 Personal answerIt depends. A lot of things could go wrong by slashing different programs and implementing austerity measures, as there could be programs needed that in the long run, could reduce the national debt.

Elections › Political Party Subsidies

Should political parties receive money from the government?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Domestic Policy › National Daycare

Do you support a national daycare policy?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Elections › Candidate Transparency

Should Canada increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

9>9 Personal answerI am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Science › Nuclear Energy

Do you support the use of nuclear energy?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato

Should Ukraine join NATO?

9>9 Personal answerAs long as they meet qualifications within the Washington Treaty, and other NATO requirements, then they should be allowed and approved to join the alliance.

Education › Postsecondary Education

Should postsecondary education be a provincial or federal responsibility?

9>9 Personal answerProvincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency

Domestic Policy › Flag Burning

Should it be illegal to burn the Canadian flag?

9>9 Personal answerNo, this is a violation of free speech

Foreign Policy › Military Spending

Should the government increase or decrease military spending?

9>9 Personal answerNeither, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending

Healthcare › World Health Organization

Should the government fund the World Health Organization?

9>9 Personal answerYes, but only relative to the amount that other countries contribute

Crime › Criminal Voting Rights

Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

9>9 Personal answerYes, every citizen deserves the right to vote

Transportation › Green Transportation

Should all public buses and trains run on electric power?

9>9 Personal answerYes, I would say that it's important to electrify public transit. As important as public transit is, there are some routes that have less passengers than others, meaning no passengers riding the bus as some times of the day, if this was electrified, we could save the extra pollution/CO2 from going into the atmosphere.

Domestic Policy › Senate

Should the federal government elect or abolish the Senate?

9>9 Personal answerLeave as is

Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media

Should social media companies ban political advertising?

9>9 Personal answerNo, this is just a really, really bad idea. Campaigns rely on social media to get their message out to the public, and if advertising is bad, this just makes it harder for campaigns to get their message out about different priorities that they have.

the Economy › Income Splitting

Do you support income splitting for families?

9>9 Personal answerI can see why it's done, as the government isn't made of money, but I could see this being detrimental to women trying to leave abusive situations.

Domestic Policy › Long Form Census

Should the government reinstate the long form mandatory census?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Foreign Policy › Venezuela Sanctions

Should the government lift sanctions on the Venezuelan government?

9>9 Personal answerNo
