Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Domestic Policy › Government Surveillance
S>S Personal answerYes, but only by court order |
Healthcare › Prescription Drugs
S>S Personal answerYes, but only when a high cost threshold is exceeded |
Education › University Tuition
S>S Personal answerNo, tuition costs should be tied to inflation |
Healthcare › Dental Coverage
S>S Personal answerYes, but only for children |
the Environment › Logging
S>S Personal answerYes, but only if the profits stay in Canada |
the Economy › Corporate Tax
S>S Personal answerKeep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes |
Domestic Policy › Native Funding
S>S Personal answerAboriginals should be integrated into Canadian society as citizens. Their existing lands and the resources thereon should remain their property. An ironclad deadline should be set for them to fully administer their own properties and resources in the same manner as regular citizens and corporations, subject to the same laws as regular citizens, and to be taxed and receive the same benefits as regular citizens. They should have no more rights and no less responsibilities than any other Canadians, without exception. The present system is not fully effective and needs to be changed radically and immediately. The limits and definitions of their treaty properties must be immediately established in the context of a modern Canadian society and state. |
the Environment › Keystone Pipeline
S>S Personal answerDo not build the pipeline. Mass export of commodities to the United States invariably leaves Canada exposed to the whims of American politics and industry greed. Production from Canadian resources in general should be directed to producing finished products in Canada, employing Canadian workers throughout the processing and distribution chain. |
the Environment › Renewable Energy
S>S Personal answerNo. The government's role should be to remove obstacles to private industry being able to do this profitably. Industry Canada, university and technology school programs should be encouraged to develop pilot projects building on established research and experimentation in this field. Great care would have to be taken to prevent corporate bodies from undertaking overly risky and/or cash-grabbing projects solely for the purpose of collecting lucrative management, engineering and consultation, etc. salaries for projects that can not be proven at the outset to have commercial viability. Independent, outside, fully qualified bodies must be placed in the role of ensuring that only good peer reviewed scientific principles and analyses are employed in evaluating and monitoring progress of the projects, and that reporting is made fully public and open. |
Domestic Policy › Quebec Sovereignty
S>S Personal answerNo, sovereignty cannot solve Quebec's problems |
Immigration › Immigration
S>S Personal answerYes, and regularly review recent immigrants to ensure they have become productive citizens |
Domestic Policy › Commuter Rail
S>S Personal answerNo, transportation services should be left to the private sector |
the Economy › Free Trade
S>S Personal answerYes, but only if strong protections for our national resources and workers are enacted with each trade deal |
the Economy › Economic Stimulus
S>S Personal answerNo, recession is a natural cycle that purges excess |
Education › Postsecondary Education
S>S Personal answerProvincially managed but with federal standards to ensure consistency |
the Economy › Employment Insurance
S>S Personal answerA system should be devised to permit seasonal workers to contribute more during their working time so that UI will be sufficiently funded to provide them with off-season benefits comparable to what full time workers would be entitled to. In addition to this, a training program or some sort of a seasonal relocation system should be devised so these part time industries could share employees in different areas of the country. The costs should be borne by the industries. |
Domestic Policy › Senate
S>S Personal answerElect, Senators that are elected are less prone to corruption |
the Economy › Pension Premiums
S>S Personal answerRegardless, allow employees the option to contribute an additional 5%-10% |
Domestic Policy › Copyright
S>S Personal answerYes |
