Very strongly agree

Yes, protect national sovereignty by aggressively exposing foreign interference

This aligns closely with Conservative messaging emphasizing national sovereignty, security, and a more forceful response to foreign interference (notably in Parliament and media statements around 2023–2024).

Strongly agree

Yes

Conservatives have pushed for tougher measures against foreign interference, including calls for a foreign agent registry during the 2023–2024 debates following CSIS-related allegations and the public inquiry into foreign interference.

Agree

Yes, but ensure it does not unfairly target diaspora communities

They would likely accept safeguards to avoid unfair targeting, but their emphasis tends to be on robust enforcement; concerns about diaspora impacts are usually secondary in their framing.

Disagree

No, existing laws are sufficient to fight espionage without more bureaucracy

The party’s recent stance has been that existing measures have been inadequate and that additional tools (like a registry) are needed; they would be unlikely to argue current laws are sufficient.

Strongly disagree

No

The party has generally argued Canada needs stronger transparency tools to counter foreign influence, so a flat rejection conflicts with their recent positioning and repeated calls for a registry.

Strongly disagree

No, it will lead to racial profiling and discrimination against immigrant groups

Conservatives typically reject the idea that security registries are inherently discriminatory and instead frame them as neutral transparency/national-security tools; they would not center this objection.
