Candidate Pledges and Surveys

Thanks to our volunteers, we've reached out to hundreds of candidates from all the major parties to invite them to take our pledge, and fill out a survey to share more about their core policies impacting our community.

Here, you can find the names, parties, and ridings of the candidates who have taken our pledge to uphold our core policy asks.

All pledged candidates will appear below, listed in order by riding name [note: while we have worked to update the riding information to reflect the recent changes in riding names and boundaries, in some cases, old riding names are still used in this data].

Our pledge questions

If elected as a Member of Parliament, do you commit to upholding freedom, equality and human rights for 2SLGBTQIA+ communities?
If elected as a Member of Parliament, do you commit to opposing anti-2SLGBTQIA+ legislation in all of its forms, including legislation seeking to remove gender identity and expression from the Canadian Human Rights Act or using the Notwithstanding Clause of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?
If elected as a Member of Parliament, will you support the continuation of federal funding programs to build capacity and strengthen the services of local 2SLGBTQIA+ community organizations across Canada?
If elected as a Member of Parliament, will you advocate to maintain and strengthen Canada’s long-standing role as a global champion of human rights for queer and trans communities?

Our survey questions

Why should 2SLGBTQIA+ people, families and allies in your riding vote for you in the 2025 federal election?
The rising cost of living disproportionately impacts 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, who face economic and employment discrimination. How will you support 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the face of rising costs?
Healthcare is a critical issue for 2SLGBTQIA+ people, including trans and gender diverse people. While healthcare is largely a provincial responsibility, the federal government plays a critical role too. How would you support the health and healthcare needs of 2SLGBTQIA+ and trans people, if elected as a Member of Parliament?
Local 2SLGBTQIA+ non-profit organizations and charities provide critical and life-savings services to queer and trans people, families and community members, ranging from housing support, mental health services, community development, peer interventions and more. If elected, how will you support 2SLGBTQIA+ non-profit organizations and charities in your riding and region?
