Ottawa. 23 February 2010: A new private member's Bill titled 'Sanctity of Life' will be introduced in the upcoming Parliament, the purpose of which is to initiate a nationwide ad campaign to "Make Life Your Choice." The ad campaign will encourage adoption instead of abortion and hence provide a compassionate alternative for women facing unanticipated pregnancies. The Member of Parliament introducing the Bill explained that while Canada faces an urgent demographic decline, the solution is straight forward: protect the future citizens and give real meaning to Canadian compassion by providing them a home with the thousands of parents in Canada waiting to adopt a child. He went on to say that this is the first in a series of family related Bills he's planning to introduce.

This, of course, is the type of breaking news Canadians can expect once the first CHP Member of Parliament is elected, which may be sooner than some believe.

So, what was the breaking news of February 18, 2010? Just the resulting outcome of twenty years of ignoring repeated warnings about the looming consequences of Canada's low birth rate coming in the form of a report submitted by Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page. His report warns that the major demographic transition to an unsustainable declining birth rate may actually be underway.

Is there a point in reminding Ottawa that they were forewarned? Absolutely not. The current parties in parliament have already celebrated their success on the life issue by allowing Henry Morgentaler to be awarded the Order of Canada, and they simply do not see their past decisions as being responsible for any resulting demographic havoc. Even if they did, it would be political suicide for them to admit it.

Instead, their leaders will each devise a strategy to show Canadians how his party will save the day amidst the problems associated with a demographic decline. The usual "solution" proffered will be more immigration. And while this plays well to today's voters, it does nothing for the long-term demographic health of the country. Research shows that immigration is not the panacea it is touted to be. The average new immigrant is in their mid thirties. By the time Canadian children who are aborted today would be entering their peak production years, the new immigrant is entering their retirement years. Coupled with declining fertility, it is impossible for immigration to keep up. And we haven't even mentioned the loss of GDP from all of the missing children and their place in the economy. One thing is clear, current government strategies are woefully inadequate to tackle this huge impending crisis. Social and fiscal conservatism in Canada is very much alive, but those who hold such views no longer have a voice represented in the House of Commons. The

Liberals do not have a leadership problem; they have a platform problem, because Mr. Harper has their platform and doesn't plan to give it back. This conservative void in the House of Commons is real and can only be filled by a party that is truly conservative. CHP Canada is the only federal party that will unquestionably and uncompromisingly stand to represent conservatives across Canada.

The abandoned pro-life groups, free speech activists, traditional marriage supporters, and those pressing for balanced budgets and smaller government are the only ones that can put an end to the story by putting their support en-masse behind the team that will unashamedly represent them. That team is CHP Canada, and it's time we all stood together on a platform of moral integrity and fiscal responsibility.
