​By the time you read this, we will be less than a week away from Voting Day 2019. Many of you have been involved in the campaign, some as candidates, some as volunteers, donors, prayer intercessors, campaign managers or official agents. Some of you may plan to be scrutineers on Voting Day. Thank you to every one of you, whatever your role has been.

​We have been asked what legislative changes we would make to protect the life of the unborn when our first Member of Parliament is elected. There are several possible approaches. One avenue would be to defund all abortions. Another would be to redraft an anti-coercion bill, similar to MP Rod Bruinooge’s Bill (Roxanne’s Law).

By the time you read this, candidate nominations (registrations with Elections Canada) will be closed. As of this writing, there are 50 CHP candidates on the ballot across the country with at least one candidate in every province.

Last year, when the newspaper article appeared about Trudeau groping Rose Knight, my attention was heightened. The #MeToo movement was causing some men to pay for these behaviours with their careers, even if they occurred in the distant past.

When the Prime Minister dropped the writ a few days early last week, it was an act of desperation. When he avoided the first televised so-called Leaders’ Debate (yes, the one to which the leaders of most federal parties were not invited) it was an act of cowardice. When he spent the last several weeks throwing your money around, it was an act of shameless vote-buying. His time is up and he knows it. Whether Canadian voters know it yet remains to be seen.

We are blessed to live in a great country! A grateful newcomer to Canada, so humbled by this reality, was puzzled by the CHP’s perception of our impending crises.

In the 2018 trade negotiations between the US, Canada and Mexico, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Chrystia Freeland, traded the interests of Canada’s dairy farmers and the consumers who need their products for some questionable language emphasizing gender issues. As leader of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada, I want Canadians to know that we stand behind our dairy producers.

​In Canada’s 2019 federal election, the deck is already stacked against the electorate! In what bizarre universe does the government get to say who can and who cannot debate with the government? Especially in an election year?

​Just last week, Mario Dion, Canada’s Parliamentary Ethics Commissioner, issued a report with damning conclusions regarding PM Trudeau’s violation of Ethics Rules. This is his second ethics conviction.

Pornography, legalized prostitution, and sex-trafficking — what do they have in common? Your local candidates for election (with a few exceptions) won’t want to talk about the connections between them.

In today’s culture wars, each side has goals. There are societal implications for every circumstance. It matters what is allowed, what is promoted, what is restricted and what is forbidden. When certain behaviours and outcomes are desired, proponents suggest conditions that will favour those outcomes.
