That's why I support carbon pricing, because it is a market-based solution that gets people to find innovative ways to reduce their carbon emissions. Too often, environmental regulations just end up creating new problems, so we've got to be really careful and

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

Housing › Homeless Encampments

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

9>9 Personal answerYes, because we don't entirely know the reasons why they could've refused shelter. It could be because maybe they feel unsafe in that environment, and have had multiple incidents, so while it may be of inconvenience, it's necessary as public property often has necessities (bathrooms, etc) that the homeless need.

9>9 Personal answerYes

Housing › Affordable Housing

Should the government subsidize the building of 1.4 million new homes over the next four years?

9>9 Personal answerI would say that it should be a mix of all three of these answers. If it houses the homeless, that's always good to get someone a safe place to live. If it is within a city, and trying to make the downtown area more densified, that's always a good thing for the environment, and we should also encourage people to open up their homes to people looking to rent, within reason as they don't always feel safe doing so. But yes, I would say building 1.4 million homes is a good idea, as we are going to need them, and though it might not solve everything with the affordability crisis, we can at least increase demand, and do other things like stopping speculation buying.

the Economy › Economic Stimulus

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

9>9 Personal answerYes, the government should intervene to boost a recovery

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

Domestic Policy › Quebec Sovereignty

Should Quebec be granted sovereignty from the rest of Canada?

9>9 Personal answerNo

the Environment › Plastic Product Ban

Should disposable products (such as plastic cups, plates, and cutlery) that contain less than 50% of biodegradable material be banned?

Immigration › Temporary Foreign Workers

Should the government increase or decrease the amount of temporary foreign workers allowed into Canada?

9>9 Personal answerNeither, maintain the current amount

Crime › Defunding the Police

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

the Economy › Old Age Pensions

Should old age pensions be increased?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Elections › Minimum Voting Age

Should the minimum voting age be lowered?

9>9 Personal answerNo

Domestic Policy › Worker Strikes

Should government workers be allowed to strike?

9>9 Personal answerYes, as there are legitimate concerns that do need to be heard, but some industries are incredibly important and deliver life-saving treatment (nurses, doctors) so we also need to do something about that as well that is in the best interests of both.

Should convicted criminals have the right to vote?

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

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

Foreign Policy › Bill C-51

Do you support Bill C-51, which expands local police and intelligence agencies’ authority to prevent terrorism?

9>9 Personal answerNo, the bill is too vague on the issues of scope, oversight, and accountability

Domestic Policy › CBC Funding

Should the government increase funding to the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation)?

9>9 Personal answerYes

Crime › Prison Overcrowding

Should non-violent prisoners be released from jail in order to reduce overcrowding?

9>9 Personal answerDepends on what "non-violent offences" mean, as it is a very broad category that encompasses all kinds of offences. If they're a drug addict, they shouldn't be in jail and should be getting treatment.

Transportation › Green Transportation

Should all public buses and trains run on electric power?

9>9 Personal answerIdeally, yes. But it should also be cost-effective and easy for cities to run and operate.

Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media

Should social media companies ban political advertising?

9>9 Personal answerNo

Domestic Policy › Senate

Should the federal government elect or abolish the Senate?

9>9 Personal answerLeave as is

Education › Charter Schools

Do you support independent schools?

9>9 Personal answerNo, we should focus on improving our public schools and increasing teacher wages instead

the Environment › Corporate Subsidies

Should cities be allowed to offer private companies economic incentives to relocate?

9>9 Personal answerIt really depends on the situation of each municipality, because while it's easy to say that we should spend that money on infrastructure to attract businesses and make it a desirable place to live, what if the company builds that infrastructure that could make it attractive for the city? It's really hard to say.

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
