    2. CHP will protect Canada’s air, soil and water from destructive contamination of man-made chemicals

    1. In the constitutional division of powers, courts and judges were NOT given the authority to write laws, only to apply and enforce the law AS IT IS WRITTEN
    2. The courts have usurped the authority of Parliament and provincial legislatures; judicial activism has resulted in abortion-on-demand, same-sex marriage and assisted suicide
    3. The courts have misused their power to limit free speech, a Charter Right which they should be protecting
    4. The CHP would use Section 33 of the Charter (the Notwithstanding Clause) to protect freedom of speech and Canada’s moral foundations

    2. CBC receives over $1.5 billion directly from the government annually
    3. Justin Trudeau has given $595 million in subsidies directed only to those media outlets which support his policies, further influencing public opinion against a Christian worldview
    4. CHP would defund or privatize CBC and would confront the issue of unfair media bias.
32. MINING
    1. The extraction of minerals, precious metals and energy resources is a legitimate and vital industry, beneficial to Canada’s economy and essential for the provision of materials for manufacturing
    2. Of course, care must be taken to protect the environment and to make efficient use of non-renewable resources.
    3. The use of coal as an energy source should be re-evaluated in the light of new technology. Coal can again become a useful part of our mining and energy network of industries with the use of updated technology

    5. The state must not interfere in family matters except in cases of obvious and provable child abuse.
35. PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES

    2. Some studies indicate that excessive application of certain man-made chemicals may be harmful to human, animal and soil health. These studies should be carefully assessed and compared, not dismissed simply because the conclusions are inconvenient.
36. RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
    1. All Canadians must be free to practice their religion as long as it does not harm others.
    2. Freedom of Religion does not protect FGM (Female Genital Mutilation), “honour killings”, forced child marriages, multiple wives, etc.

38. SENATE
    1. The Senate was originally created to be a chamber of “sober second thought”, not a partisan rubber-stamp for the government in power
    2. Senators should be elected by the provinces in which they reside, not by the whim of the Prime Minister

40. SUPPLY MANAGEMENT, QUOTAS AND MARKETING BOARDS
    1. The Supply Management system for Canadian dairy, egg and poultry producers and the marketing boards which regulate the system were designed to protect essential agricultural producers from crippling market fluctuations and unfair “dumping” of lower-cost foreign products.
    2. Supply Management is not perfect but is essential in order to ensure Canadian producers of these products are able to continue to exist and to provide Canadians with a consistent supply of high-quality food products
    3. CHP will review existing marketing boards on a case-by-case basis to ensure they are still meeting the needs of the producers they represent as well as Canadian consumers
    4. Where possible, provision should be made for small-scale independent producers to serve niche markets without undermining the quota system.
41. TARIFFS
    1. Tariffs are taxes imposed on imported commodities or products, usually intended to protect domestic producers from unfair foreign competition.
    2. Unless bound by contracts, treaties and trade agreements which they have voluntarily signed, all nations have the right to restrict imports or to apply tariffs which may have the effect of restricting imports.
    3. For the purpose of mutual growth and cooperative enterprise, allied nations, particularly nations sharing a border, should seek to avoid unnecessary tariffs and trade restrictions between them.
    4. Careless or punitive use of tariffs often result in trade wars which may harm producers in both countries and should be avoided if possible.
42. TAXATION
    1. Governments must use some form of taxation to generate revenues to cover the cost of basic services.
    2. The Income Tax—especially the Progressive Income Tax—is unfair. Your earnings are your private property. The government should not take what you earn and it should not take a bigger share when you work harder.
    3. The CHP would replace the unfair federal income tax with a Fair Tax on purchases; this would be a flat rate applied to all purchases of finished products.
    4. The Fair Tax would leave all citizens with more money to spend, save and invest.
43. TERRORISM
    1. Terrorism is the use of violence and fear to achieve geopolitical, military, financial or ideological ends.
    2. Canada must stand firmly against terrorism at home and abroad.
    3. Canadians who participate in terrorism must not be allowed to return to Canada OR they must face criminal terrorist charges. They must not be allowed to become public martyrs for their cause.
    4. The $10 million award to Omar Khadr was an insult to our soldiers, our allies and all Canadian taxpayers.
44. WELFARE
    1. Canadians must always be ready to care for the “deserving poor”—those in poverty through no fault of their own.
    2. All those capable of working should be encouraged to do so; taxpayers ought not to be forced to carry the unnecessary burden of supporting those unwilling to work.
    3. CHP Canada also strongly opposes corporate welfare: the granting of federal funds to corporations, financial institutions and global cabals.
