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 answerNo, hire professionally trained security guards instead |
Healthcare › Mental Health
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only increase funding for personalized care instead of subsidizing pharmaceutical companies |
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, but allow churches the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies |
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
9>9 Personal answerYes, and all communications for any elected official should be public record before ANY private citizens are subjected to monitoring excepted by court order. |
Healthcare › Prescription Drugs
9>9 Personal answerYes, cover the overall prescription costs but have the patient pay the pharmacy dispensing costs |
Education › University Tuition
9>9 Personal answerYes, and the government should provide free university education |
Healthcare › Mental Health Funding
9>9 Personal answerNo, the problem is implementation not funding |
Social › Gender Transition
9>9 Personal answerNo, children should not be allowed to make irreversible life decisions |
the Economy › Taxes
9>9 Personal answerLower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations |
Social › Gender Identity
9>9 Personal answerPeople with legitimate issues shouldn't be discriminated against, however there is a large subgroup of that culture that's using the litigation as a shield and playing a different power game that I would consider unethical, though I haven't given it enough investigation to determine exactly what's going on there. |
Healthcare › Healthcare Funding
9>9 Personal answerYes, but to create aforementioned database or remove other systemic barriers or bloat. |
Foreign Policy › Mandatory Military Service
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Social › Gender Workplace Diversity
9>9 Personal answerNo, board members should be the most qualified regardless of gender |
Social › Hate Speech
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as it does not threaten violence |
the Environment › Environmental Regulation
9>9 Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production |
Domestic Policy › Gun Control
9>9 Personal answerThere should be a divide on gun policy between cities and counties. It makes sense to own a gun where there are natural wildlife hazards that could endanger yourself or your property, however in cities gun ownership is almost exclusively a hazard to yourself and your neighbours. |
the Economy › Minimum Wage
9>9 Personal answerNo, it's discouraging participation in the global economy in a strange way. Instead ensure that safety and pollution policies are more strictly enforced. If people can't afford to live then other parts of the system are broken or we're exploiting our position as a world leader to maintain an unfairly high standard of living for our citizens. |
Social › Euthanasia
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice |
the Economy › Universal Basic Income
9>9 Personal answerYes but it's still too early. We should be doing research on how to implement these as automation becomes a larger part of the economy and AI displaces a larger amount of the workforce. |
Social › Transgender Athletes
9>9 Personal answerNo, athletes should compete based on the biological sex that is listed on their birth certificate |
Healthcare › Dental Coverage
9>9 Personal answerYes, preventative dental care is an important aspect of long term health |
Healthcare › Single-Payer Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerThe system isn't broken at the customer endpoint, it's further up the chain. This is an issue with first order thinking which will not fix the system. |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
9>9 Personal answerKeep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes |
Immigration › Citizenship Test
9>9 Personal answerNo, most citizens couldn’t even pass a citizenship test |
Social › Death Penalty
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only for horrific crimes with undeniable evidence |
Social › Niqāb
9>9 Personal answerYes, but their identity must be privately verified by a female staff member |
Education › International Students
9>9 Personal answerNo, but the cost of education should be drastically reduced for everyone |
Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation
9>9 Personal answerNo, the government should not determine what is fake or real news |
Healthcare › Healthcare Privatization
9>9 Personal answerThe system is fundamentally flawed; the issue isn't with the privatization, it's with the educational, training, licensing, infrastructure, insurance and overall systemic bloat present in the entire industry, stemming back to it's source: the US. The best we can do is probably to create a nationalized database and reduce the inter-systemic friction between different offices and start trending overall health and taxing services that result in increased health costs accordingly, and offer subsidies to citizens who are active and take care of themselves. |
the Environment › Logging
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only selective logging, no clearcutting, and a plan for regrowth |
Domestic Policy › Net Neutrality
9>9 Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet |
Immigration › Immigrant Assimilation
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Private Prisons
9>9 Personal answerNo, private prisons will sacrifice quality of care and rehabilitation services for profit |
Education › Student Loan Debt
9>9 Personal answerCollege for Canadian citizens should be fully funded by the Government with good marks. I want to live somewhere where the people around me are well-educated. |
the Environment › Local Environmental Guidelines
9>9 Personal answerYes, and exceed the guidelines and be the world leader in environmental standards |
Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerYes, but after they have finished serving their sentence |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Elections
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only to address security threats, not monetary interests |

9>9 Personal answerNo, they should be integrated into our society as citizens |
Social › Women in Combat
9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |
Healthcare › Healthcare
9>9 Personal answerFederal |
the Environment › Renewable Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › COVID Employment Health Pass
9>9 Personal answerNo, I think businesses should require vaccination but not by government mandate |
the Environment › Plastic Product Ban
9>9 Personal answerNo, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products |
the Economy › Universal Child Care
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
9>9 Personal answerYes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time |
Healthcare › Safe Haven
9>9 Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue |
Foreign Policy › United Nations
9>9 Personal answerYes, and propose increases in UN power to help create a true global government to align humanity and eliminate war and poverty. |
Crime › Drug Trafficking Penalties
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Keystone Pipeline
9>9 Personal answerYes, if the landowners are fairly compensated |
Immigration › Immigration
9>9 Personal answerNo, and regularly review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens. |
the Economy › Welfare Drug Testing
9>9 Personal answerYes, and immediately terminate benefits for anyone testing positive |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerYes, and ban all political donations and publicly fund elections |

9>9 Personal answerYes, as long as they cut all economic and military support from Canada |
Immigration › High Risk Immigrant Ban
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Fracking
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead |
Elections › Electoral Reform
9>9 Personal answerNo, but more equally distribute the weights by culture and community, not by population; allow for the most diverse possible outcomes without losing overall importance of the popular choice. Something like 66% popular vote should guarantee a result, regardless. |
Elections › Mental competency testing
9>9 Personal answerYes, and politicians of any age should be required to pass a mental competency test |
the Environment › Northern Gateway Pipeline
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Freshwater Research
9>9 Personal answerNo, instead pursue those directly responsible for damage to lakes and rivers |
the Environment › Animal Testing
9>9 Personal answerYes, but not for cosmetics |
Elections › Criminal Politicians
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Domestic Policy › Commuter Rail
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Defunding the Police
9>9 Personal answerNo, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities |
Housing › Foreign Owned Homes
9>9 Personal answerThe issue must lie somewhere in the banking system or zoning laws. If house flipping is happening it means there's economic space and justification for it provided it's profitable, but it may be profitable for the wrong reasons (i.e. being able to draw off the equity or some other systemic issue). It should be possible to expand outward with lower cost housing provided the system is designed in a sensible way that doesn't encourage winner-take-all scenarios. |
the Economy › Labor Unions
9>9 Personal answerHurt |
Immigration › Skilled Immigrants
9>9 Personal answerIncrease, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost |
Housing › Homeless Encampments
9>9 Personal answerYes, create more camps around the country and offer public transportation to move them there. It should be illegal in cities as they could be potentially dangerous. |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
9>9 Personal answerYes, but in the form of tax breaks for low income citizens |
Elections › Campaign Finance
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Demilitarize the Police
9>9 Personal answerYes, but with strict training on how and when to use the equipment |
Healthcare › Marijuana
9>9 Personal answerYes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it |
Elections › Minimum Voting Age
9>9 Personal answerNo, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote |
Foreign Policy › Ukrainian Defense Funding
9>9 Personal answerNo, we should not get involved in this conflict |
Elections › Prime Minister Term Limits
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Crime › Parole Hearings
9>9 Personal answerNo, and reinstate the death penalty for heinous premeditated crimes |
Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote
9>9 Personal answerAfter living and paying taxes for 5 years and receiving their first renewal it makes sense for PRs to have that right, however they should not be allowed to run for office. |
the Economy › Welfare
9>9 Personal answerMore, reform the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income |
Foreign Policy › Weapon Sales Ethics
9>9 Personal answerYes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries |
Domestic Policy › Worker Strikes
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Housing › Affordable Housing
9>9 Personal answerThe only justification I can see for this is immigration. Internally the system should be consistent enough to sustain itself without subsidy. If it's necessary to subsidize housing in this manner the issue is systemic and should be addressed further up the chain. |
Social › Teacher and Faculty Diversity Training
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Domestic Policy › Energy Sector
9>9 Personal answerPrivatize and prevent monopolies via an oversight board. |
Foreign Policy › Israeli Palestinian Conflict
9>9 Personal answerBoth equally |
the Economy › Government Spending
9>9 Personal answerNo, increase taxes on large multinational corporations instead |
the Economy › Old Age Pensions
9>9 Personal answerNo, but indexed to the rate of inflation |
Elections › Political Party Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Genetically Modified Foods
9>9 Personal answerYes, but producers should not be able to patent seeds |
Domestic Policy › National Daycare
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only for low income families and single parents |
Housing › Home Buyer Incentives
9>9 Personal answerBanks and Lenders should be regulated in a way to discourage the bubble cycle that's contributing to the massive inflation in the housing market. |
Science › Nuclear Energy
9>9 Personal answerYes, temporarily while we increase investment into cleaner renewable alternatives |
Social › Student Diversity Training
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Ukraine and Nato
9>9 Personal answerNo, this should be decided after the current war ends so we avoid a third world war |
Elections › Candidate Transparency
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Housing › Non-Resident Real Tax
9>9 Personal answerNo |
Foreign Policy › Bill C-51
9>9 Personal answerNo, it is a slippery slope towards a police state |
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 answerFederal |
Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid
9>9 Personal answerDecrease, until we drastically reduce our national budget deficit |
Immigration › Temporary Foreign Workers
9>9 Personal answerDecrease the minimum wage and remove some social programs to incentivise unemployed Canadians to fill these roles; alternatively subsidize automation in these industries to replace the labour. |
Social › Employee Diversity Training
9>9 Personal answerYes, but only if it is a private company |
Immigration › Dual Citizenship
9>9 Personal answerYes, but they should not be able to claim citizenship status of more than two nations |
Transportation › Public Transportation
9>9 Personal answerNo, and we should privatize more public transportation services |
the Economy › Offshore Banking
9>9 Personal answerNo, too many wealthy citizens are abusing loopholes in offshore banking laws to evade taxes |
Healthcare › World Health Organization
9>9 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › NAFTA
9>9 Personal answerTrade regulation should probably be decreased, however this allows for massive exploitation so I can't fully endorse it. NAFTA should be a more beneficial policy, however issues with Mexico's enforcement and political structures are preventing the flow of income to Mexico from being effectively implemented in infrastructure and education for Mexican citizens which is maintaining a labour cost imbalance that encourages shipping more jobs to Mexico. |
Healthcare › Medical Consensus
9>9 Personal answerNo, but the doctors should be required to disclose that the advice contradicts contemporary scientific consensus |
Crime › Criminal Voting Rights
9>9 Personal answerYes, except for felons convicted of murder or violent crimes |
the Economy › Bonus Cap
9>9 Personal answerYes, and lower the cap to 20% |
Transportation › Green Transportation
9>9 Personal answerNo, the electric power comes from carbon producing sources. My answer would be Yes provided we're planning to build more nuclear plants as it's currently the only non-economically-negative long-term viable solution for our energy situation. I fully support funding more research into nuclear/fission or other non-carbon-based alternatives. |
Domestic Policy › CBC Funding
9>9 Personal answerNo, and decrease funding |
Domestic Policy › Senate
9>9 Personal answerElect, but via vote by Canadian Citizens. |
Crime › Prison Overcrowding
9>9 Personal answerNo, but we should increase funding to offer education and skill building services for prisoners |
the Economy › Government Pensions
9>9 Personal answerYes, for government workers but not for politicians |
Domestic Policy › Political Advertising on Social Media
9>9 Personal answerThey should be allowed to decide for themselves. |
the Economy › Income Splitting
9>9 Personal answerNo, income splitting is unfair to low income families |
the Environment › Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
9>9 Personal answerNo, provide subsidies to private companies that compete to build the best network instead |

the Economy › Trans-Pacific Partnership
9>9 Personal answerYes |
Immigration › Sanctuary Cities
9>9 Personal answerNo |
the Environment › Corporate Subsidies
9>9 Personal answerNo, spend that money on improving infrastructure and the community to attract companies |
