CHP
Commentary

This coming February 3, CHP Canada will be back in court, defending the right of Canadians to post their views about live public policy, on public property, in a peaceful manner.

Just when you thought people went into politics because of deeply-held beliefs about economics, social policies, etc. . . . poof! That illusion comes crashing down as two—not one but two—Conservative MPs leave the ranks and put Mark Carney’s Liberals within spitting distance of a majority. The timing couldn’t be worse for Canada.

Canada, under Prime Minister Mark Carney, is still going in the same general direction as it was under Justin Trudeau . . . but a whole lot faster! The Carney brownshirts that misguided voters have allowed to control Parliament are not playing around. They are moving to create as many restrictions as possible on what remains of our Parliamentary democracy.

A budget was meant to inform voters and taxpayers and guide government departments and help them to manage financial resources responsibly. Those days seem to be gone. Here we are, in October 2025, with no real budget for this year but more or less predictions being leaked of spending priorities for 2026 . . .

It seems like we should be looking at our rights in Canada, should our lives be threatened. What do you do if an intruder comes into your home? This is really sticky because you have to be thinking clearly to make the correct decision. The Criminal Code of Canada tells us . . .

Last week, we witnessed a shameful display of bullying and political cowardice in Victoria. Bullying by the majority NDP MLAs and their same-thinking comrades and cowardice on the part of the BC Conservatives, who abandoned their posts, rather than debate the motion put forward by MLA Rohini Arora.

Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the UK, has said that the UK will be implementing a digital ID by the end of 2029. He says it’s to combat illegal immigration, but critics see it as just another way to control the people and they’re rapidly showing their opposition to the scheme. What is digital ID, and how would it affect the citizens of the UK? Are there similar plans being hatched in other countries? What about Canada? What are the implications for banking and personal freedoms?

Can you imagine purchasing your first new home. You’re incredibly excited. You receive the keys and race off to your house. Upon arrival, you meet Mr Carney with his bed already assembled in the master bedroom. There’s only one garage, and it’s occupied by Mr Carney’s car. “Wait a minute!” You object. “This is my home. I just bought it.”

Have you wondered lately whether Apple, Google, Telus and the Canadian government really care about your privacy? They say they do. Then, why is the Carney government willing to make it easier to hack your personal information? And why is Mr. Carney prepared to share your information with our own spy agencies and those of foreign nations?

In the sombre aftermath of the loss of one of America’s finest spokesmen for the protection of innocent human life, traditional family values and personal freedoms, Christians and all who cherish these principles and work for their eventual outworking in our culture are trying to come to grips with the harsh realities of our human condition—the unwillingness of so many to even consider other points of view and their willingness to disparage, demonize and destroy those with whom they disagree.

On August 7, 2025, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ruled that the Cowichan Tribes have aboriginal title over 800 acres of land in Richmond, BC—land currently occupied by businesses and multi-million dollar homes on fee simple title lots owned by Canadians, most of whom are not of Cowichan lineage.

Many of you will have heard of the Judicial Review that CHP Canada entered against the City of Hamilton. It may have caused you to wonder why we are making such a big deal out of just ONE declined poster in ONE bus shelter. After all, there are bus shelters in other cities where the poster could go up without opposition. Why are we making a big deal about this one? Why don’t we just go to another town to put up a poster?
