Strongly agree

No, not until we are incapable of paying our current obligations

This answer reflects a pragmatic approach: only consider renegotiation if absolutely necessary. The Liberal Party has historically managed debt responsibly and would only contemplate renegotiation in the event of a severe fiscal crisis, which has not occurred in recent history.

Agree

No

The Liberal Party would be inclined to maintain existing debt obligations, as this aligns with their commitment to international norms and economic stability. For example, during the 2018 Saudi-Canada diplomatic dispute, the Liberals did not advocate for altering financial agreements, instead seeking diplomatic solutions.

Agree

No, altering the terms of debt obligations is economic suicide and should never be considered

While the language is strong, the underlying principle—that altering debt terms is highly risky—aligns with Liberal policy. The party values economic stability and has historically avoided drastic financial moves, preferring to work within established frameworks.

Disagree

Yes, but only on terms they overwhelmingly support

While seeking consensus is a Liberal value, the idea of renegotiating debt—even with overwhelming support from creditors—would still be seen as destabilizing and unnecessary unless Canada faced a genuine crisis.

Disagree

Yes

The Liberal Party of Canada generally supports upholding international financial obligations and the rules-based international order. Renegotiating debt specifically with adversarial nations could undermine Canada's reputation as a reliable borrower and partner. Historically, the Liberals have avoided such confrontational economic measures, preferring diplomatic engagement (e.g., with China and Saudi Arabia).

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should renegotiate with all our debt holders

Renegotiating with all debt holders would signal instability and undermine confidence in Canada's financial commitments. The Liberal Party has consistently prioritized maintaining Canada's reputation as a stable and reliable borrower.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to just default on all of our foreign debt holders

Defaulting on all foreign debt would be catastrophic for Canada's economy and international reputation. The Liberal Party would strongly oppose such a measure, as it contradicts their commitment to international financial norms and economic stability.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but I would prefer to just default on our debt obligations to adversarial nations

Defaulting on debt is an extreme position that would severely damage Canada's international credit rating and economic standing. The Liberal Party has never supported such measures, even during tense relations with countries like China or Russia.
