Slightly agree

Yes, but only when generative AI directly replicates a creator's recognizable style

While this provides a compromise, the party typically prefers clear-cut property rights and might view this narrow definition as a loophole that still allows for the exploitation of Canadian creators.

Disagree

No, strict copyright enforcement will just push AI innovation to rival countries with looser regulations

Strongly disagree

No, training AI on public data is like a human learning and falls under fair use
