t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerPro-choice

t>t  Personal answerNo

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerFor most cases, no, this is a violation of one's personal right to privacy. It reminds me of the way the police will use anything you say against you, which makes staying silent and hiring a lawyer immediate so crucial when defending yourself in the justice system. I believe violating the privacy of the people is a slipper slope to tyranny. People need to be protected and have the freedom to their personal, private lives. They have a right to defend themselves also. The exception would be for extreme cases when it's determined a serious threat exist and this is absolutely necessary to protect the country and people- in which case, a court order should be required and the person involved should already have a criminal history/involvement in a serious crime.

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerNo

t>t  Personal answerNo

t>t  Personal answerYes, and the government should provide free university education

t>t  Personal answerDiversity, and specifically representation, is very important. At the same time, being qualified for a role is also extremely important. Diversity shouldn't be a priority over being qualified. You should not disqualify fully qualifying people from a role simply because they AREN'T women, for example- I think that in itself is discrimination. But, it's important that women and minorities that are qualified get equal opportunities and are being equally represented in the work force and that they feel as though they have a voice and value at their workplace, the the same opportunities for advancement as anyone else.

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerThe minimum wage should be appropriate for a set standard of living and should be adjusted according to inflation.

t>t  Personal answerYes, but only after a psychological examination to show they fully understand this choice

t>t  Personal answerThey should be educated/informed during the immigration process so that they will have an understanding of the country, including its culture and government. This should be displayed as fairly simple (things an average Canadian citizen would know themselves) and USEFUL information that the person may use to better adjust to life in Canada, knowing what to expect and being better prepared to live here. Effort should be made by the gov't/immigration services to educate people, and their understanding should be evaluated after they are given this course/information. It's important to stick to important and useful information, and to have fair, realistic goals that match the understanding of the average Canadian citizen.

t>t  Personal answerI can not make an educated decision on this subject.

t>t  Personal answerNo, only if they have entered the country illegally

t>t  Personal answerYes, everyone should receive an income to cover basic necessities including food and housing under a certain income bracket, for example the wealthy should not receive as much assistance as lower income

t>t  Personal answerNo, but they should be encouraged and incentivized to learn at least one of Canada's national languages (English or French).

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerIncrease for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

t>t  Personal answerLess, and there should be no privatization of the healthcare industry

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerNo, preservation of our forests outweighs the economic benefits

t>t  Personal answerNo

t>t  Personal answerThere is a reason for separating men and women in athletic competitions, because of the differing physical capabilities. I believe it's unfair to allow a transgender woman to compete with biological women when a clear advantage is observed. I believe there should be some method of testing or some sort of procedures in place to determine whether the transgender athlete has an unfair advantage over their peers. At the same time, I really don't think transgendered persons should be banned altogether from athletic competitions- this is discriminatory and invalidating. This is a very tough topic to talk about, however, because I have a lot of trouble finding reliable data on this topic, thus my understanding of hormone therapy and other aspects like the age of starting this therapy and its effects on the body is very weak. I do believe a lot of factors go into determining how people experience transition and the "final" results, and I believe that is something that should be considered when forming a more informed opinion on this topic.

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerNeutral. We should improve the vetting procedures to ensure we are letting in safe people, but also make it far easier for skilled immigrants to get easy access into Canada.

t>t  Personal answerNo

t>t  Personal answerFederal

t>t  Personal answerNo, but a more intense screening should be given out to immigrants from high risk countries

t>t  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.

t>t  Personal answerNo, treat all traffic equally and continue the openness of the internet

t>t  Personal answerYes, otherwise it would be discrimination. However, sexual assault is a real issue that needs to be given attention.

t>t  Personal answerI haven't done research on this topic.

t>t  Personal answerYes but only for low and middle income families making less than $200 000 per household. Also encourage stay-at-home-parenting

t>t  Personal answerI am uneducated on this issue

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerYes, but work to reform the structure of the UN to better reflect changes in the geopolitical climate

t>t  Personal answerNo, I do not believe in the death penalty

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerNo

t>t  Personal answerYes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue

t>t  Personal answerYes, politicians should not be bought by wealthy donors

t>t  Personal answerNo, do not build the pipeline and shut down all oil production in the tar sands

t>t  Personal answerNo. In addition to being a waste of time and money, this only seeks to further marginalize people with addictions. Instead, any person, whether on welfare or not, should be encouraged to seek help for their problems, and quality help needs to be available. Discriminating against people with addictions just makes the problem worse. The first steps to addressing addictions should be treating them as people, allowing them to access support networks, and addressing the issues that led them to the situation they are in. Anything less is unacceptable.

t>t  Personal answerTemporary foreign workers should be paid the same wage as Canadians so companies only bring them in if they can't find workers here.

t>t  Personal answerI'm not educated enough about this topic

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

t>t  Personal answerYes, for absolutely necessary medical research, but their lives and sacrifice should be held with the upmost respect. Never should animals be used for cosmetics and superficial endeavours. Research should be done to find better alternatives and lessen the need for the use of live animals.

t>t  Personal answerSingle use plastics should be banned and re-usable alternatives should be found as opposed to using “biodegradable plastics” that only biodegrade under certain very specific conditions.

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerNo, no pipelines should be created at all, especially not one's which infringe on the traditional or current lands of Indigenous Peoples.

t>t  Personal answerYes, definitely. Transparency needs to be prioritized and businesses and officials (etc.) need to be held responsible for their actions. Whistleblowers deserve protection, not prosecution. Finding information through illegal means is still done with the benefit and intention of bringing to light harmful and illegal activities of often times powerful people and businesses, so I do not think one should ever be punished when trying to achieve transparency.

t>t  Personal answerCase by case basis only

t>t  Personal answerYes, anyone who pays taxes should have the right to vote

t>t  Personal answerYes, but the donations should be publicly disclosed

t>t  Personal answerNo, voters should decide how long they stay in office

t>t  Personal answerI'm not informed about this topic to make a decision.

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

t>t  Personal answerNo, this is a violation of free speech

t>t  Personal answeryes but only if they are first time home buyers, $120k total household income, if the home is the primary living residence of the home buyer, and if the home buyer is either a Canadian citizen/ a foreign student who is currently employed and 'with roots' in Canada/ or on some sort of visa. basically limit foreign money laundering and help lower income working people get a head

t>t  Personal answerYes, but only with nations that adhere to strict human rights policies

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

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerMore, but increase benefits for the elderly and disabled

t>t  Personal answerYes, any citizen that pays taxes should be allowed to vote

t>t  Personal answerNo, they should instead reduce military spending, increase taxes on the wealthy, increase tax on large corporations and simplify the Income Tax Act so that it is more easily understood and enforced in an effort to control tax evasion.

t>t  Personal answerTemporary foreign workers should only be used for industries with a shortage of Canadian workers. However, these industries should gain promotion within the country to encourage more Canadian citizens to get involved in these industries. As always, when temporary foreign workers are brought in to work, they deserve the same wage and rights, and conditions while they're working as a Canadian citizen would receive. Their work and time needs to be valued.

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerIf the job requires the use of body like construction site workers the pension age should be reduce

t>t  Personal answerNo, except to campaign, and all parties get the same amount to do so and are not allowed to spend anything over that

t>t  Personal answerDon’t know what this is

t>t  Personal answerNationalize, with emphasis on renewability

t>t  Personal answerYes, but needs more research into the effect of genetically engineered crops. Also, prevent giant corportions like Monsanto from taking advantage of their patents.

t>t  Personal answerThe public shouldn't have to know the finances of an individual, but I would feel concerned if politicians did evade their taxes. Politicians should be audited and face charges if they did evade their taxes. However, they shouldn't be forced to reveal their tax information in front of the entire country.

t>t  Personal answerYes but higher than 1%

t>t  Personal answerNo, we should invest in cleaner alternatives such as wind, hydroelectric, thorium, and geothermal

t>t  Personal answerIncrease, but only for countries that have no human rights violations

t>t  Personal answerProvincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency

t>t  Personal answerNo, this is a violation of free speech

t>t  Personal answerYes, but only if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerDecrease

t>t  Personal answerDon't have all the facts to make an informed decision.

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

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerNo, too many wealthy citizens are abusing loopholes in offshore banking laws to evade taxes

t>t  Personal answerI’m unsure

t>t  Personal answerYes, but for all workers, excepting executives and politicians, not just government workers

t>t  Personal answerYes

t>t  Personal answerEstablish and fund an unbiased media with the highest reporting standards, and with strict penalties for not adhering to non partisan reporting and releasing false information.

t>t  Personal answerno but My opinion stands somewhere between yes, with community service, and no with increased education and skill building. I believe this would provide a better system of genuine "rehabilition". Prison, as an institutional structure, is not rehabilitation. It's just prison.

t>t  Personal answerNo. I believe it's important that we encourage citizens to think about and have an interest in politics. Political advertising shouldn't be banned because it's something that starts political discussion and it can be a way to get people involved in political conversation. However, more needs to be done to empower citizens to be educated and informed on politics. Whenever there ARE political ads, there absolutely needs to be transparency from who/which part or group is paying for/sponsoring these ads. Dishonesty/fake claims also need to be better controlled. People need to be aware of political bias and fake content when they are online (or anywhere).

t>t  Personal answerI don't have enough knowledge of the subject.

t>t  Personal answerI am not informed enough to answer this question.

t>t  Personal answerI cannot make an educated decision about this right now

t>t  Personal answerI am not informed enough to have an opinion on this topic.

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

t>t  Personal answerUnsure if they should.

t>t  Personal answerI cannot make an educated decision about this right now

t>t  Personal answerI don't believe that pirating for an individual's personal use should have any serious legal consequences. However, claiming the work as one's own, profiting from the work of someone else, or the vast distribution of a work you don't have the rights to should have consequences. Artists/content owners should be allowed to place locks on their content at their discretion, while also having realistic expectations of what it means to release their work digitally. The best efforts should be made to support the work of artists and to prevent the theft/other people profiting from the use of the work and illegal redistribution of their work.

t>t  Personal answerI cannot make an educated decision about this right now

t>t  Personal answerI'm sorry I am completely uneducated in this area and do not think an answer from me would hold any value until I learned more.
