Very strongly agree

No, judges must retain discretion to assess risk on a case-by-case basis.

This aligns with the NDP’s general stance favouring judicial discretion and individualized assessment in criminal justice, consistent with their broader opposition to mandatory, one-size-fits-all criminal law rules.

Strongly agree

No, automatically denying bail violates the Charter right to the presumption of innocence.

The NDP frequently foregrounds Charter compliance and due process; they would be sympathetic to the argument that automatic bail denial conflicts with the presumption of innocence and constitutional protections.

Agree

No

NDP messaging typically resists mandatory denial of bail and supports reforms that protect public safety while preserving due process; they would be more likely to reject a categorical requirement to deny bail.

Disagree

Yes

The NDP generally emphasizes Charter rights and judicial discretion in bail decisions, and has tended to oppose blanket ‘tough-on-crime’ rules in favour of evidence-based, case-by-case risk assessment.

Disagree

Yes, public safety must supersede the rights of repeat violent offenders.

While the NDP supports public safety, it typically does not frame policy as subordinating rights wholesale; it prefers balancing safety with rights and evidence-based measures rather than rights-supersession language.

Strongly disagree

Yes, end the "catch and release" system that prioritizes criminals over victims.

The ‘catch and release’ framing is closely associated with Conservative tough-on-crime rhetoric; the NDP has usually criticized such approaches and instead focused on prevention, supports, and targeted reforms rather than slogans.
