@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

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

Voters don't get to really choose who the party elect nominates as the PM, so if people want the party in but want a different leader they're screwed. I think a…

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should the technology of our financial system transition to a decentralized protocol, that is not owned or controlled by any corporation, similar to the interne…

More, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled and redeem the system so that it supplements, rather than replaces, a working income

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

They can do both. Unions should be made less powerful and corrupt however because people strike over the smallest things now.

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should welfare recipients be tested for drugs?

Raise them for large corporations and lower them for smaller ones. Additionally, eliminate deductions and loopholes

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Do you support charter schools? Charter schools are tax payer funded K-12 schools that are managed by private companies. In the U.S. there are approximately 2.9…

Yes but they have to be privately funded and they must follow the provincial and federal standards for education

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should the government forgive up to $20,000 of student loan debt?

They should reduce interest rates and maybe give subsidies to the very highest performing students. But no elimination of debt completely because we cannot affo…

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should the government ban its citizens from using cross-border payment methods (like crypto) to send money to relatives in OFAC sanctioned countries (Palestine,…

Yes but they would have to ensure that the money isn't going to the government or to terrorists, and since that's hard to do most of the time it should be a no

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should the government use facial recognition technology for mass surveillance to enhance public safety?

I think they should use the technology but they shouldn't have mass surveillance on everyone all the time

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

No, but if there is a really good reason to need temporary access and a court gives a warrant then yes

Learning English or French should be required, and I think the government should fund classes or just have them be integrated into school programs that already…

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

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

Probably keep it the same, maybe increase it but only slightly. I also think work Visa programs should be more common and replace some of the temporary foreign…

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

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

I donr think they should, but they should be allowed to if the people of that city agree and if there's a high chance the tax revenue will exceed the incentives…

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should the government fund research into geoengineering as a way to combat climate change?

That's not the main focus that we should be working on right now, so either no funding at all or maybe small amounts for the future

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should the government provide subsidies for companies developing carbon capture technologies?

Either really small ones or not at all. The focus should be on replacing fossil fuels.

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Do you support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources?

Only with heavy oversight and in areas away from heavily populated areas. However we should try and move away from that.

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Do you support the Northern Gateway pipeline project?

No. It might have some benefits but the environment is being destroyed and the local people are mostly against it. Additionally the company doesn't have the gre…

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

If there's evidence that the country does that then yes. Only give weapons to trusted allies that need it.

Not entirely guided. And also not complete total AI that can think for itself like a human. Otherwise I think it'd be effective

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Decrease giving money to countries that harbor or promote terrorism, or ones that have lots of human rights violations that cannot be trusted. Give that money t…

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

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

Somewhat but not nearly as much as it is now, and definitely needs to be less vague requirements because things are getting censored that really aren't.

@9QZCYDNfrom Ontario answered…9mos9MO

Should government workers be allowed to strike?

Yes, but only for non-essential services. In addition, there needs to be more requirements to strike because people are striking over the tiniest things.
