Recently the CTF sent a survey to candidates running for council in Edmonton and Calgary. It was a fairly short survey asking questions with a request for Yes/No/Undecided answers. The reason for the request was one of practicality, as there were nearly 100 candidates running in each city. Giving each of them 1,000 words to describe their positions was not realistic.
Here's a table with the short answers:

However, it was completely understandable that some candidates wanted to explain their responses with longer answers. A few of them asked if we could post their full answers.
Here are a handful of full responses for your reading pleasure:

Is Canada Off Track?
Canada has problems. You see them at gas station. You see them at the grocery store. You see them on your taxes.
Is anyone listening to you to find out where you think Canada’s off track and what you think we could do to make things better?
You can tell us what you think by filling out the survey
