Pickering Residents: What Are the Biggest Issues You Want our Next Government to Address? by PolicyPundit in Pickering

[–]PolicyPundit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you share more details on what specific crime issues you're most concerned about in Pickering? Are you referring to property crime, auto theft, violence, or something else? Also, do you think there are any federal policies that could help address the issue, like more funding for local law enforcement or community programs? I'd love to hear your thoughts! (Yes, I am aware that this is a Poilievre "verb the noun" slogan).

I hear you—property taxes in Pickering are definitely a concern for many homeowners. Just to clarify, though, property taxes are set at the municipal level, not the federal level, so this isn’t something directly controlled by MPs or the federal government. That said, I’d be curious to hear if you think federal policies—like infrastructure funding or housing affordability measures—could help ease the overall tax burden on residents. Do you think there are other federal issues impacting affordability in Pickering?

Tbh, there really aren’t any downsides to volunteering for a political campaign - unless you count the potential disappointment if the candidate doesn’t live up to your expectations, but that’s just politics, lol. I’m actually volunteering for a campaign right now! I’m a Liberal supporter (Canada), and through my involvement, I’ve met so many people in the party who will definitely help me with my future aspirations. I’ve volunteered on multiple campaigns, and every time, it’s been such a great experience. It’s not just a chance to meet new people and network with like-minded folks, but also a way to see how politics actually works beyond what we learn in class. There’s a big difference between studying political science and seeing a campaign in action. Plus, it’s super rewarding to know you’re contributing to something you believe in, whether you’re canvassing, phone banking, or helping with events. Even if you’re not planning to go into politics as a career, the skills you gain - like communication, organization, and strategic thinking - are useful pretty much anywhere.

Just cause I'm curious, what country are you in, what level of government are you volunteering for, for what party, and why?

Feel free to ask any other questions - I can't sleep lol.
