Rod Taylor

Rod Taylor is the National Leader of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada (CHP Canada). 

Rod is happily married to Elaine, his wife of 43 years; they have two adult children and four grandchildren.

Raised in a politically-active family, Rod has long understood the importance of men and women standing up for what they believe, standing up for the innocent and the helpless and using their freedom of speech to influence society for good.

Having worked with his hands all his life, Rod understands the challenges faced by average working-class people and the responsibility we all share to build a society based on justice, freedom and personal initiative.

Rod feels that—unless we are willing to speak up and make our voices heard—government may grow beyond its usefulness. The high cost of a bloated and unaccountable bureaucracy has already led to a soaring national debt and an unsustainable tax burden on the working class. Rod plans to change all that.

Rod and the CHP intend to rein in wasteful government spending, remove unnecessary red tape and other obstacles to success and to defend innocent human life at all stages. The CHP would work to restore traditional marriage as the social norm and would protect schoolchildren from abusive and inappropriate indoctrination disguised as education. Rod is committed to the protection of religious freedom and freedom of speech.

Dave Bylsma

It was as a young man, on a cross Canada journey, at the age of 23 that Dave fell in love with his country. Having just completed an engineering degree and seeing an opportunity to do some traveling, he packed his pickup truck and drove from Niagara to BC and back again. 

On this trek he saw the majesty of this great land and met many of his fellow citizens. He returned home only days after the writ was dropped in the fall of 1993 and his new found feeling of patriotism moved him to throw his hat into the ring for real change. 

Opting for the CHP over the stale progressive conservatives was the easy choice back then and more than two decades later Dave still has never looked back. Now this father of nine, with his wife Sylvia, runs a family woodworking business in the heart of Niagara. He's been involved in his church and his community in various ways, currently serving also as a councillor in his municipality of West Lincoln. Dave continues to run as a candidate with seven federal campaign experiences. 

He's hoping to inject some fresh energy at the national level as well as provide consistent teamwork with the other members of the National Board. The task is daunting and the stakes are high but with the LORD's favour anything is possible.

Jerome Dondo

Jerome is a passionate and compassionate accountant who serves First Nation reserves and business clients in Manitoba and Ontario.

Jerome, his wife of 15 years Angela and their nine children live in St. Claude where he grew up on a dairy farm.

David Reimer

David became a member of the CHP in 1987 while serving as a Pastor in Wetaskiwin, AB. He immediately became active in his EDA and soon realized that God was calling him to run as a candidate in the Federal Election in 1988.

Since that time he has been a candidate on five separate occasions in three Manitoba Ridings. During his 27 years of involvement in the CHP he has served in several different leadership positions including PEP (Prayer, Ethics and Personnel) Director, Deputy Leader and President of Manitoba.

David is an ordained minister in the Fellowship of Christian Assemblies and the founding Pastor of Shalom Family Worship Centre in Steinbach, MB. In his 65 years, he has gained considerable experience having owned and operated his own business for several years and served as President of the Steinbach Chamber of Commerce and Vice-President of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce. He remains active in his community as a Basketball official. David is also primary caregiver for his elderly father.

David has been married to his wife Katharine for 45 years and together they have 3 married children and are the proud grandparents of 3 wonderful grandsons. During their 45 years of marriage they have fostered over 40 children in their home.

David possesses great enthusiasm and boundless energy as he passionately serves God and continues to stand on guard for Canada.

Jim Enos

In addition to serving as Ontario President, Jim also serves as the candidate for the Hamilton Mountain EDA, which he helped to re-establish in the fall of 2010. Since its re-establishment, this EDA has been active between elections contending for the Christian world view at multiple levels of government; municipal, provincial and federal.

Jim also continues to serve as President of the Hamilton-Wentworth Family Action Council, which he co-founded in 1996. It is through the action of this Council over the past 18 years that he has gained insight into the effectiveness of being salt and light in this world, particularly at the public table.

It is this experience and energy that Jim brings in the hope that we at CHP Canada will catch the vision of impacting Canadian governance at all levels by engaging the culture for the Christian world view in a manner that the culture can understand, perhaps consider and hopefully embrace.

Sandy Siepman

On Apr. 4, 2014, I officially took over the presidency of the CHP for the Manitoba Council. I became a CHP member in the mid 1990’s and became involved in the Selkirk-Interlake EDA in 1999. I’ve served as campaign manager for several candidates since that time. I worked with our local EDA as well as with the Manitoba Council, where I served as vice-president for many years.
 
I worked for 30 yrs. for the National Parks Branch. I worked for both the National Parks and Historic Parks in Western and Northern Canada in the Engineering and Architecture Division
 
As the CHP, we pledge and pray to work to reclaim Canada for Christ to honour His name. We affirm that Canada’s heritage, culture and rule of law, as referenced in the preamble to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, are rooted in the understanding that the term “supremacy of God” refers to the God of the Bible.
