Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
3>3 Personal answerYes, if there are reasonable grounds to believe that terrorism or serious criminality is a viable threat. Government should not be allowed to arbitrarily surveille private citizens' communications. If there was a software program that identified such concerns, there could be a grey area for persons of interest. Profiling is also a legitimate method of narrowing the field of likely suspects. It may be politically unpopular but statistics are a tool of investigative technique. Profiling is based on statistics. |
Healthcare › Prescription Drugs
3>3 Personal answerYes, for families who have net incomes below $40,000 annually. Also have a sliding scale for up to $70,000 annual income. To cover prescription costs but not dispensing costs. Cover dispensing costs for non-working seniors. |
Education › University Tuition
3>3 Personal answerThe system should be revamped so that lower income families have the opportunity to send their children to university without it resulting in extreme financial difficulty. Perhaps subsidize certain levels of income and not high-income families. Also, no caps on foreign students. |
the Environment › Environmental Regulation
3>3 Personal answerYes |
Healthcare › Dental Coverage
3>3 Personal answerYes, but only for low income citizens |
the Environment › Logging
3>3 Personal answerNo, preservation of our forests outweighs the economic benefits |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
3>3 Personal answerIncrease for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses |
Domestic Policy › Native Funding
3>3 Personal answerYes, the government needs to do whatever it can to reverse the harm inflicted on Canadian aboriginals by the residential schools and other mistreatment. |
the Environment › Keystone Pipeline
3>3 Personal answerNo |
Social › Niqāb
3>3 Personal answerNo, they should not be allowed to wear a Niqab for any legal proceeding or ceremony where they are being granted a legal benefit. Both for security and fraud prevention reasons. The Niqab is not a religious requirement. It is a choice. It is also a symbol of the oppression of women. If women want to cover their faces in public, they can. But it should only be recognized as a social choice, not a religious freedom or requirement. |
the Environment › Renewable Energy
3>3 Personal answerYes |
the Environment › Northern Gateway Pipeline
3>3 Personal answerNo, not until all the Aboriginal bands this project affects agree to it |
Immigration › Immigration
3>3 Personal answerThe current immigration situation is a mess. Programs that worked well have been mutilated or cancelled. We also need to be responsible in the number of refugees that we allow in. It is all fine and well to respond emotionally to the problem in places like Syria, but our communities have to be able to assimilate the immigrants that we take in. That means keeping a balance of each category. Perhaps encourage more Five-person Sponsorships if people want more refuges to be accepted. Make people put their money where their mouths are. Our refugee system is already too accepting. We have one of the highest acceptance rates in the world. We also need to find a way to make fairer determinations on regularizing illegals immigrants' status in Canada. The old system under IE9 was a good method. |
the Economy › Pension Tax
3>3 Personal answerYes, but only for those making over $50,000 per year |
Elections › Campaign Finance
3>3 Personal answerNo |
Crime › Parole Hearings
3>3 Personal answerNo, and reinstate the death penalty for heinous premeditated crimes |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
3>3 Personal answerYes, but in the form of assisting sectors most heavily hit by the recession |
Education › Postsecondary Education
3>3 Personal answerProvincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency |
Foreign Policy › Bill C-51
3>3 Personal answerNo, the bill is too vague on the issues of scope, oversight, and accountability |
Elections › Electoral Reform
3>3 Personal answerStudy various systems and determine which provides the fairest representation of the electorate. |
Immigration › Temporary Foreign Workers
3>3 Personal answerMake the system fairer and less arbitrary. It is a disaster now and Service Canada needs to be more accountable and reasonable. It is better to have temporary foreign workers come here to work and then give the successful ones a chance at permanent residence than to try to assess skilled workers who haven't even been to Canada yet. The Canada Experience Class was a good program. Now it is being mutilated and changed to make it less appealing to foreign students. Foreign students are good for the economy and immigration program. Students who learn here and then work here will make the best immigrants. At eth same time, we benefit economically from their spending while here. |
Transportation › Commercial Drones
3>3 Personal answerDrones will be the end of us. Their use should be severely limited. Police surveillance with a warrant, military, etc. |
