Agree

Yes, refusing cash discriminates against the elderly and unbanked

This aligns with Liberal themes of accessibility and reducing barriers for seniors and vulnerable groups; similar equity framing appears in Liberal policy approaches to consumer protection and inclusion.

Agree

Yes, cash is a critical safety net during power outages or cyberattacks

Liberals have highlighted resilience/critical infrastructure and emergency preparedness; cash as a backup during outages is plausible, though not a signature Liberal plank.

Agree

No, digital payments are essential to stop tax evasion and money laundering

Liberals have supported stronger AML/ATF regimes (e.g., ongoing FINTRAC strengthening and beneficial ownership initiatives), but they generally don’t argue that digital-only payments are 'essential' as a primary solution.

Slightly agree

Yes

Federal Liberals generally emphasize consumer access and inclusion, but have not made a major push to mandate cash acceptance nationwide; they tend to prefer guidance/market evolution over strict requirements.

Slightly agree

No, cash makes shop staff a target for violent robberies

They may acknowledge workplace safety and robbery risk, but are unlikely to treat this as a decisive reason to reject cash acceptance requirements across the board.

Slightly agree

No, private businesses must be free to choose their payment methods

Liberals often balance regulation with business flexibility; they may sympathize with allowing payment choice, but would temper it with consumer-access concerns.

Slightly disagree

No

They are unlikely to endorse a blanket 'no' because of equity concerns for unbanked/low-income Canadians, though they have not strongly opposed cashless trends.

Strongly disagree

Yes, cash is the only protection against government surveillance

The party typically supports privacy protections but does not frame cash primarily as a bulwark against 'government surveillance'; Liberals have advanced security/anti-crime and digital governance measures rather than this rhetoric.
