Social › Abortion

What is your stance on abortion?

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

Social › LGBT Adoption Rights

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

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

Healthcare › Healthcare Funding

Should the federal government increase spending on healthcare?

B>B Personal answerYes, in particular, increased spending should update information systems and the logistical structures of patient care. I would like to see a substantial multi-year platform meant to update hospital for the 21st century, including streamlining administrative systems and cutting administrative staff who are clogging efficiency. I would also like to see a more holistic vision for patient recovery so that when patients leave the hospital, they stay out. Doctor salaries should double due to mitigate against brain drain, and those high-caliber doctors working in specific industries like medicine should receive significant tax cuts verging on zero government payments. Our tax system should be deeply asymmetrical and surgical to incentivize high-impact industries like medicine.

Social › Gay Marriage

Do you support the legalization of same sex marriage?

B>B Personal answerTake the government out of marriage and instead make it a religious decision

the Economy › Taxes

Should Canada raise taxes on the rich?

B>B Personal answerYes, in certain non-essential industries such as real estate and asset management. A framework assessing the manner in which 'the rich' have become rich should determine an asymmetrical tax system that specifically rewards medical professionals, those advancing the energy sectors, and high-caliber educators. Sectors that receive a high percentage of their operational revenue from government, such as arts and culture, should have higher taxes in order to sustain itself as a self-propelling system of return on investment. These sectors should be highly monitored in order to weed out fraudulent output.

Education › University Tuition

Should the federal government put a cap on university tuition rates?

B>B Personal answerNo. Tuition caps led by conservative parties have sunk various leading universities in Canada. I believe in a highly asymmetrical approach, where domestic students / Canadian citizens will pay less for tuition, along with high-caliber international candidates who will receive significant scholarships. Students seeking education for other purposes, or who are low-caliber, should pay comparatively high fees for the privilege of engaging in higher education in Canada. I would like to see an approach to higher education that does not flatten the playing field at all, nor treats higher education as some kind of rite of passage into adulthood. The future of Canada is in a strong educational reform so that when the boomers move on from controlling the narrative, a highly talented and ambitious populace can reframe the Canadian project.

Immigration › Deporting Criminal Immigrants

Should immigrants be deported if they commit a serious crime?

B>B Personal answerYes, but after they have finished serving their sentence

the Economy › Minimum Wage

Should the government raise the federal minimum wage?

B>B Personal answerNo, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Domestic Policy › Gun Control

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

B>B 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?

B>B Personal answerThere should be always an option between public and private systems, where a competitive relation between these systems drives prices down and quality up.

Immigration › Immigration

Should the government enact a stricter immigration policy?

B>B Personal answerYes, but make the process easier for skilled workers

Domestic Policy › Social Media Regulation

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

B>B Personal answerYes, but this should not be the purview of a party platform. An arms length entity like the Canada Central Bank should be created to regulate AI and disinformation.

the Environment › Environmental Regulation

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

B>B Personal answerYes, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production

Transportation › Eliminating Traffic Laws

Should the government eliminate all traffic laws and rely on voluntary compliance?

B>B Personal answerNo

Education › Student Loan Debt

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

B>B Personal answerNo. It should depend on the student and the caliber of their work in high education. Schools should have a tiered system where students who performed exceptionally in their degree programs are forgiven their student debt, by the government. These could be reframed as exit rewards, acknowledging high-caliber students and incentivizing greater engagement with education in students.

Immigration › High Risk Immigrant Ban

Should immigrants from high risk countries be banned from entering the country until the government improves its ability to screen out potential terrorists?

B>B Personal answerYes

Domestic Policy › Native Funding

Should Canadian aboriginals receive more government funds?

B>B Personal answerYes, and the government should give them their land back

the Environment › Renewable Energy

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

B>B Personal answerYes

Domestic Policy › Drug Policy

Are you in favor of decriminalizing drug use?

B>B Personal answerYes

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?

B>B Personal answerYes, this is necessary to reduce the drug overdose death rate, and should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue.

Housing › Foreign Owned Homes

Should foreigners be banned from buying homes in Canada for 2 years?

B>B Personal answerYes. Homes in Canada should not be able to be bought. Land and its properties should be returned to Indigenous governance.

Housing › Homeless Encampments

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

B>B Personal answerNo, but create more social programs to provide free food, clothing, and medicine

the Environment › Fracking

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

B>B Personal answerNo, we should pursue more sustainable energy resources instead

Crime › Parole Hearings

Should prisoners serving life sentences for first degree murder be eligible for a parole hearing after 15 years?

B>B Personal answerNo

Elections › Right of Foreigners to Vote

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

B>B Personal answerYes, but only after living in the country for 5 years

the Environment › Northern Gateway Pipeline

Do you support the Northern Gateway pipeline project?

B>B Personal answerNo, not until all the Aboriginal bands this project affects agree to it

Housing › Home Buyer Incentives

Should the government subsidize home buyers who make less than $120K per year?

B>B Personal answerNo. Home buying should disappear entirely as a government priority. Strict tenancy laws and a highly regulated real estate market should allow for security to income earners, and comfortable living standards for all. Landlords should become a chartered profession, like accounting, with bad actors losing their licence to rent. In the long run, the ability for Canadians make exorbitant about of money on the purchasing and selling of properties on stolen Indigenous land should be outlawed.

Housing › Homeless Shelters

Should the government increase funding for homeless shelters and services?

B>B Personal answerYes. But ensuring that a holistic approach is taken to these shelters and services, where access is dependent on participation in various skill-building and rehabilitation programs.

the Environment › Local Environmental Guidelines

Should local governments follow environmental guidelines set by the United Nations?

B>B Personal answerYes, and exceed the guidelines and be the world leader in environmental standards

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?

B>B Personal answerNo, but increase tax incentives for companies that make biodegradable products

Crime › Demilitarize the Police

Should police departments be allowed to use military grade equipment?

B>B Personal answerYes, but only in response to extreme situations

Crime › Defunding the Police

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

B>B Personal answerNo, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

Elections › Minimum Voting Age

Should the minimum voting age be lowered?

B>B Personal answerNo, and voters should be required to pass a basic test demonstrating their understanding of politics in order to vote

Domestic Policy › National Daycare

Do you support a national daycare policy?

B>B Personal answerLet each province decide

Domestic Policy › Worker Strikes

Should government workers be allowed to strike?

B>B Personal answerNo, but establish a labour court to preempt and mediate strikes

Technology › Ethical Artificial Intelligence

Should the government regulate artificial intelligence (AI) to ensure ethical use?

B>B Personal answerYes

Elections › Candidate Transparency

Should political candidates be required to release their recent tax returns to the public?

B>B Personal answerYes, and also required to release their medical records

Foreign Policy › Foreign Aid

Should Canada increase or decrease foreign aid spending?

B>B Personal answerDecrease, and deny aid to countries that harbor or promote terrorism

National Security › Facial Recognition

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

B>B Personal answerYes

Science › Genetic Engineering

Should the government fund research into genetic engineering for disease prevention and treatment?

Transportation › Public Transportation

Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

B>B Personal answerYes, and provide more free public transportation

Foreign Policy › Military Spending

Should the government increase or decrease military spending?

B>B Personal answerIncrease

Foreign Policy › Bill C-51

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

Science › Lab Grown Meat

Should the government allow the commercialization of lab-grown meat?

B>B Personal answerYes

Transportation › Green Transportation

Should all public buses and trains run on electric power?

B>B Personal answerYes

National Security › National Identification System

Should the government implement a national identification system to enhance security and prevent fraud?

B>B Personal answerYes

Education › Charter Schools

Do you support independent schools?

B>B Personal answerYes. But only at levels of education that precede higher education, which I believe should not be privatized and should involve various government controls, and which will be tied to immigration programs. Parents should have the choice to invest in private / independent schools for their children.

National Security › Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Defense

Should the government invest in artificial intelligence (AI) for defense applications?

B>B Personal answerYes, but with very strict oversight and regulations

Housing › Foreclosure Assistance

Should the government provide assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure?

B>B Personal answerYes

National Security › Backdoor Access to Encrypted Communications

Should the government require tech companies to provide backdoor access to encrypted communications for national security purposes?

B>B Personal answerYes

Technology › Social Media Regulation

Should the government mandate that large tech companies share their algorithms with regulators?

B>B Personal answerYes, and all software and algorithms should be open source

the Economy › Stock Buybacks

Should the government tax stock buybacks?

B>B Personal answerNo, there is no evidence that firms that engage in buybacks reduce their investments

National Security › Cross-border Payments
