Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › 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
9>9 Personal answerDepends. No for teachers, but there should be armed security who are trained to de-escalate situations in violent schools, while also having programs to help students who come from troubled backgrounds. |
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as they pass the same background checks as straight couples |
Social › Gay Marriage
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only by court order |
Education › University Tuition
9>9 Personal answerI would be cautious, but I would say yes. It helps keep education affordable for the general population, but it also encourages schools to be more transparent. However, there should also be investments in research and development, as well as funding to help schools done by the provinces and federal governments, as a way to help keep them updated. |
Social › Gender Transition
9>9 Personal answerNo, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions |
Social › Gender Identity
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Healthcare Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes, but have strings attached through the Canada Health Act, and allow negotiation with the provinces to come to a consensus. |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
9>9 Personal answerNo, businesses should not be legally required to have women on their board of directors. Businesses should be encouraged to seek diverse board members, including women when looking to hire the most qualified candidate. Women should always be guaranteed the very same opportunity as men. |
the Environment › Environmental Regulation
9>9 Personal answerYes, but enforce and update existing regulations as well, and even pursue market-based solutions such as a carbon tax, or cap and trade, as a pragmatic way forward. |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerYes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training |
Social › Euthanasia
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerNo, too many people are innocently convicted |
Social › Niqāb
9>9 Personal answerYes, we should respect all cultural traditions |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNo, users of social media are free to share what they please, but anyone who is, advertises themselves as, or comes across to a reasonable person as a news organization should have a legal obligation to tell the truth. Additionally, where the truth is not known, it should be illegal for such organizations to make things up, but rather these organizations should have to wait before making more informed judgements. This would diminish the capability of users to share fake news as the fake news would not exist, as opposed to simply not be shared. |
Healthcare › Healthcare Privatization
9>9 Personal answerI would say that we should keep the current system, which allows billing for medically-necessary health care to be covered by provinces, but also allows provinces to keep services on their plan, of course with strings attached. Other than that, there should be a price cap, as well as stringent regulation for private services, so that there is safety, affordability, and quality of care that is met. |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
9>9 Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet |
the Environment › Logging
9>9 Personal answerNo, preservation of our forests outweighs the economic benefits |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
9>9 Personal answerNo, but the government should encourage and offer free language learning courses |
Crime › Private Prisons
9>9 Personal answerNo, private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as it is safe for them to return to their country |
Education › Student Loan Debt
9>9 Personal answerIn the middle, as I'm open to it, but we should also be strategic about it. For some critical employment, such as some government positions, healthcare and even trades, we should pay student loan debt off as a way to get more people in. For the rest of the population, we should slash interest rates to 0%, as we want to encourage the populace to be educated, but also not have to go into massive crippling debt in order to do so. |
the Environment › Local Environmental Guidelines
9>9 Personal answerIt's a good guideline, but it's not legally binding. So, instead we should have people take inspiration from it and work to find solutions that work for each nation, province/state and community, town or city. |
Social › Women in Combat
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Muslim Immigrant Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, banning immigrants based on their religion is unconstitutional |
Healthcare › Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerProvincial, but with federal funding and regulated standards |
the Environment › Renewable Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes, we need this if we want businesses to develop in a positive way forward. |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
9>9 Personal answerIt really depends on the business, but I would say that it's up to provinces and territories to implement restrictions, as well as the federal government, and we should also allow private businesses to make their own decisions within reason as well. |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
9>9 Personal answerI would say it depends, as some products this would be much better suited to than others, but we should encourage this when necessary, while also encouraging recycling and reusing products as well. |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
9>9 Personal answerYes, but have it as part of a larger system which allows addicts to get help/treatment, and even housing to get back on their feet, but otherwise, this is needed to help keep communities safe. |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
9>9 Personal answerNo, I do not believe in the death penalty |
Immigration › Immigration
9>9 Personal answerNo, the current policy is sufficient |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Quebec Sovereignty
9>9 Personal answerNo, sovereignty cannot solve Quebec's problems |
Elections › Electoral Reform
9>9 Personal answerI feel that if we moved toward proportional representation, this could aggravate many issues even further, and encourage regionalism even further, making it hard to govern for the majority of people, but also erode faith in our institutions. |
the Environment › Freshwater Research
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Animal Testing
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Commuter Rail
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Housing › Foreign Owned Homes
9>9 Personal answerDepends on different circumstances. For vacation homes in municipalities/as well as speculators who never move here? Maybe. For diplomats, international students, refugees, NGOs, ambassadors and so forth? No. |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerHave the ability for communities to decide what works best for them on a community to community level, and have options open for helping to fund social and community-based programs to keep recidivism from happening, keep people out of trouble and crime from ever starting in the first place. |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerI am satisfied with the current amount |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerNo, keep the current system where only individuals can donate to political parties. |
Healthcare › Marijuana
9>9 Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
9>9 Personal answerNo, I think we're at a good age for Canadians to vote in 18, as they are just out of school and potentially pursuing college, university or even a vocational/trade school, and they have been educated about these issues, and are beginning to form, or have formed their own opinions. It also makes sense, as we begin to trust that they can handle things around 18 for other decisions. Anything younger than that, I feel would be taking advantage of younger voters, as kids make stupid decisions. |
Elections › Prime Minister Term Limits
9>9 Personal answerI would say yes, because it helps keep people who seek to do ill only in power for so long. I would also say that it should be three terms as well. |
Crime › Parole Hearings
9>9 Personal answerKeep the current system, with the Parole Board of Canada, but also the requirements for dangerous offenders and so forth. |
Housing › Affordable Housing
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Teacher and Faculty Diversity Training
9>9 Personal answerEncourage teaching of black history, as well as other marginalized histories in Canadian school textbooks for students, but also fund museums which allow people to tell their stories. But for staff, also have training available for them. |
Elections › Political Party Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerI would say yes, because it's a form of transparency and encouraging ethical campaigning, but also not letting mega billionaires run and donate to different parties/and influence their policy, and it also gives smaller parties a chance to grow, although there should be strings attached/laws to discourage violence, misinformation and anything that could hurt Canadian democracy, and hold people accountable. |
the Environment › Genetically Modified Foods
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as there is appropriate regulation and health research into it as well. |
Housing › Home Buyer Incentives
9>9 Personal answerSubsidize housing across the country through funding for municipalities and developers, and community organizations, and the CMHC. Also encourage people to help renovate homes into duplex, as well as even change zoning requirements. Have housing for students as well, which should also be affordable. Also, have a TFSA and First Time Homebuyers Incentive. |
Social › Student Diversity Training
9>9 Personal answerEncourage teaching of black history, as well as other marginalized histories in Canadian school textbooks for students, but also fund museums which allow people to tell their stories. But for staff, also have training available for them. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
9>9 Personal answerYes, and require a public audit each year they are in office |
Housing › Non-Resident Real Tax
9>9 Personal answerDepends on different circumstances. For vacation homes in municipalities/as well as speculators who never move here? Maybe. For diplomats, international students, refugees, NGOs, ambassadors and so forth? No. |
Domestic Policy › Flag Burning
9>9 Personal answerNo, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to do so |
Education › Postsecondary Education
9>9 Personal answerProvincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency |

Immigration › Dual Citizenship
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Temporary Foreign Workers
9>9 Personal answerNeither, maintain the current amount |
Transportation › Public Transportation
9>9 Personal answerNo, I am satisfied with the current amount of spending |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, every citizen deserves the right to vote |
Transportation › Green Transportation
9>9 Personal answerIdeally yes, but it depends on the climate and environment of each community, as well as if it is feasible to have transit at all. But for major cities, yes this should be in our goals to help lower our emissions, as well as help adapt to growing populations. |
Domestic Policy › CBC Funding
9>9 Personal answerHave a healthy amount of funding for the CBC, APTN, and the Canada Council for the Arts as well as other arts organizations. |
Domestic Policy › Senate
9>9 Personal answerLeave as is |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
9>9 Personal answerDepends on what you mean by non-violent, but also depends on what's best for the rehabilitation of the individual, as well as the communities that they live in. Sometimes, community-based sentences are better. |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
9>9 Personal answerProvide subsidies/grants, as well as have federal buildings equipped with them so that they can grow and develop across the country. |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerIt depends on what the community, provincial and even national interest is, and it should be dependent on these, as well as what works for each community. |
Education › Charter Schools
9>9 Personal answerNot in principle, but they can be of real help to children who are gifted, and want to pursue programs that the public school system doesn't offer, as well as for some people to have a religious-focused education. However, they should pay staff well and staff should be allowed to unionize, and parents should have a choice, but we should continue to invest in pragmatic solutions for public schools. |
Domestic Policy › Long Form Census
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › CSA Funding
9>9 Personal answerHave a healthy amount of funding. |
