Very strongly agree

Yes

Canada has long followed broad jus soli citizenship (Citizenship Act, 1977), and Liberal governments have generally defended inclusive citizenship and opposed restricting birthright citizenship.

Strongly agree

Yes, anyone born on our soil is a citizen, regardless of parental status.

This matches Canada’s general rule: birth in Canada confers citizenship regardless of parents’ status, with limited exceptions (e.g., children of foreign diplomats). Liberals have not pursued major rollbacks of this principle.

Disagree

Yes, but only if at least one parent is a legal resident.

Conditioning citizenship on a parent’s legal status would be a significant restriction from current Canadian practice; the Liberal Party has not typically advocated such limits, though it might acknowledge narrow exceptions (e.g., diplomats).

Strongly disagree

No, automatic citizenship encourages illegal immigration and 'birth tourism'.

While concerns about ‘birth tourism’ are sometimes raised in Canada, the Liberal Party has generally resisted framing birthright citizenship as a driver of illegal immigration and has not made ending jus soli a core policy.

Very strongly disagree

No

A flat rejection of automatic citizenship for those born in Canada would contradict Canada’s jus soli norm and the Liberal Party’s generally pro-immigration, inclusive citizenship stance (e.g., maintaining the 1977 framework).

Very strongly disagree

No, citizenship must be inherited by blood (jus sanguinis), not geography.

Switching to pure jus sanguinis would overturn Canada’s longstanding jus soli approach and is far from mainstream Liberal policy; it would represent a major restrictive shift inconsistent with Liberal positions on immigration and citizenship.
