Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

Not yet. I think there needs to be more incentive to use public transport first (such as park and ride facilities, or transit lanes).

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

Should the government increase or decrease the amount of temporary work visas given to high-skilled immigrant workers?

Increase, what counts as high-skilled should also be reviewed.

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

Should immigrants be required to pass a citizenship test to demonstrate a basic understanding of our country’s language, history, and government?

Yes, but also be given the opportunity to learn and not just turned away if they fail.

Yes, but only if their intent is to eventually become a citizen.

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

No, but there should be a three strikes system or other which allows those who've proven corrupt or ineffective from running again.

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

Should social media companies ban political advertising?

No, but it needs to be outside of the algorithm and not pushed, and clearly stated as a paid advertisment.

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

Should the government regulate social media sites, as a means to prevent fake news and misinformation?

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but with a focus on treatment not just medication. Therapy should be more easily accessible.

No, but increase tax on nepotistic gains.

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, because the current system allows for tax payer money to be spent on narcotics. I don't think they should be funded to receive treatment, but perhaps food…

@9C2K3PS answered…2yrs2Y

Should the government increase incentives for first home buyers?

Yes, I believe first home buyers should have priority over investors when purchasing property. A percentage of a development could be allocated to investors ins…
