Very strongly agree

Yes, harm reduction saves lives and relieves emergency rooms

This matches core NDP framing: harm reduction saves lives and reduces strain on health systems; NDP MPs and provincial NDP governments (notably in BC) have supported/expanded overdose prevention and safer-supply-related measures during the toxic drug crisis.

Strongly agree

Yes

The federal NDP has generally supported harm-reduction approaches in response to the overdose crisis (e.g., backing supervised consumption sites and safer-supply style interventions), so it would tend to agree with providing regulated alternatives to toxic street drugs.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only with mandatory psychiatric and rehabilitation requirements

The NDP could accept linking safer supply to voluntary wraparound care, but ‘mandatory’ psychiatric/rehab requirements are less consistent with harm-reduction principles and rights-based healthcare access the party usually emphasizes.

Disagree

No, funding should focus exclusively on detox beds and recovery

The NDP supports expanding treatment and recovery services, but not ‘exclusively’ at the expense of harm reduction; it generally argues for a continuum including prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and housing/mental-health supports.

Strongly disagree

No

A blanket rejection conflicts with the NDP’s repeated emphasis on harm reduction and treating substance use as a health issue rather than primarily a criminal one.

Strongly disagree

No, this diverts cheap drugs to the black market and hooks new users

The NDP has tended to view diversion concerns as manageable through regulation and clinical models, and prioritizes preventing overdose deaths over arguments that safer supply broadly ‘hooks new users’.

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should not be a drug dealer facilitating addiction

The ‘government as drug dealer’ framing aligns more with conservative critiques; the NDP typically rejects this rhetoric and supports public-health delivery models to prevent deaths.
