Agree

Yes, municipalities are gatekeeping progress and must be forced to increase housing supply

Matches Conservative messaging that municipal red tape/slow permitting constrains supply; Poilievre has repeatedly argued cities must approve more building and has floated conditioning federal infrastructure/transit funding on housing starts/approvals.

Agree

Yes

Conservatives have recently emphasized boosting housing supply and tying federal levers to municipal action (e.g., Poilievre-era proposals to require cities to permit more homes to access certain federal funds), but they also stress jurisdictional limits, so support is not unequivocal.

Agree

Yes, NIMBYs are blocking development and preventing young people from owning a home

Conservatives often criticize NIMBYism and link housing scarcity to younger Canadians being priced out; however, the party also courts suburban homeowners, so the rhetoric is somewhat less central than general supply/permits framing.

Slightly agree

No, zoning is a local issue and Ottawa should not bully mayors with tax dollars

Conservatives frequently invoke constitutional jurisdiction and oppose Ottawa 'dictating' to provinces/municipalities, but this is in tension with their own willingness to use federal funding conditions to spur housing construction.

Slightly disagree

No, a one-size-fits-all mandate destroys the character of peaceful neighborhoods

Some Conservative MPs and voters are sympathetic to neighborhood-character arguments, but the party’s current housing stance prioritizes increasing supply and speeding approvals over preserving low-density status quo.

Disagree

No

The party has shown openness to using federal spending power to pressure municipalities on housing approvals, so a flat 'No' conflicts with that direction, though some Conservatives argue zoning is local.

Strongly disagree

No, the government should build public housing instead of bribing private developers

The Conservative Party generally prefers market-led supply measures and tax/regulatory changes over large-scale federal public-housing builds; they have criticized Liberal spending approaches and are less aligned with expanding public housing as the primary solution.
