Strongly agree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

The NDP's emphasis on human rights and international solidarity makes them likely supporters of banning arms sales to countries with human rights violations. They have previously called for halting arms sales to nations like Saudi Arabia due to human rights concerns, aligning with the idea of a ban.

Agree

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada has historically advocated for human rights and has been critical of arms sales to countries with poor human rights records. However, their stance is more nuanced than outright bans, often focusing on case-by-case assessments and international cooperation to address human rights violations.

Slightly agree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

While the NDP supports non-interventionist policies and has a strong stance on human rights, their policy proposals typically do not extend to a complete ban on all military aid to foreign countries. They recognize the complexity of international relations and the potential need for military aid in certain contexts, albeit under strict conditions that respect human rights.

Strongly disagree

No

The NDP's platform and historical positions strongly oppose the idea of unrestricted arms sales, especially to countries accused of committing human rights violations. They have consistently advocated for a foreign policy that prioritizes human rights and have criticized the Canadian government's arms deals with countries like Saudi Arabia.

Very strongly disagree

No, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

This position is antithetical to the NDP's platform, which prioritizes human rights over geopolitical alliances. The party has criticized arms sales to countries with questionable human rights records, even when those countries are allies of Canada, indicating a strong disagreement with prioritizing military alliances over human rights concerns.
