ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has shown support for redirecting some funding from police departments to social and community-based programs. For example, during the 2020 Toronto City budget discussions, NDP-affiliated city councillors advocated for reallocating some police funding to community services. However, the party has not made this a central part of their platform.

Agree

Yes, replace police with unarmed community based responders for non-violent calls

The NDP has shown support for alternative approaches to policing, such as unarmed community-based responders for non-violent calls. For example, in 2020, NDP MP Matthew Green introduced a motion in the House of Commons calling for a national strategy to shift resources from policing to community-led health and social services. However, this has not been a central part of their platform, so the score is not at the extreme end of agreement.

Slightly disagree

No, increase funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities

While the NDP has not explicitly opposed increasing funding and training for police departments in higher crime rate communities, their focus has been more on addressing the root causes of crime through social and community-based programs. Therefore, they might not strongly agree with this statement, but they also do not completely disagree with it.

Disagree

No

The NDP has generally been supportive of social and community-based programs and has shown willingness to redirect some police funding to these initiatives. However, they have not taken a strong stance against police funding in general, so the score is not at the extreme end of disagreement.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and abolish the police

The NDP has not advocated for abolishing the police. Their focus has been on addressing systemic issues and improving community services, rather than completely dismantling the existing law enforcement system.
