CHP
Commentary

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?

So Pierre Poilievre is back in the House of Commons. As the leader of the Official Opposition, it’s appropriate that he should be there to lead the charge on all those issues upon which the Liberals and the Conservatives have such different policies. But how different are the two parties on issues of the sanctity of life, strengthening of marriage and family and protection of children from a depraved society that has lost its moorings?

What are the underlying delusions of our current misguided dictators? How have they so managed to deceive voters into allowing them to control our every move?

While small in size (and often deemed irrelevant by mainstream political figures), the Christian Heritage Party may be just coming into its season of greatest influence. As former CHP Leader, Ron Gray used to quip, we may be “winning the race, despite what it looks like to the crowd.”

Having worked a lifetime in Canada, Canadian retirees are expected—once again—to subsidize the retirement plans of those who have contributed: nothing in taxes, nothing into the healthcare system, nothing towards our taxpayer-funded dental plan, nothing in CPP contributions. Nothing.

Regardless of the sentences that will be handed down, the greatest injustices have already been perpetrated, not only on Tamara and Chris, but on all Canadians. These two individuals, who have been dragged through the mud and had their lives disrupted for the past 3 ½ years, represented the hopes and dreams of so many of us, and their courageous efforts to confront tyrannical government mandates gave us hope that reason and a love for freedom might still prevail.

During Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s 9 ½ years as PM, Canadians got used to scandals in the PMO. But now, we have a new Prime Minister. Can we assume that self-serving conduct and conflicts of interest in the PMO are a thing of the past? Sadly, no.

These two recommendations are designed to eliminate the visible church in Canada…any place of worship…with 100% of your church’s assets being consumed by the Revocation Tax. This threat is also a de facto test to the Canadian Church’s resolve.

Is there any length beyond which Steven Guilbeault, Mark Carney and the hapless ‘new’ Liberals will not go to shame Canada? On the evidence now before us, the answer is ‘NO!’

Canada has changed a lot since the British North American Act (BNA Act) was signed in 1867 . . . 158 years ago. We need only look to our Constitution to discover that the rights and freedoms enumerated are intended to be protected by law for each and every one of us. These rights and freedoms are our heritage . . . our Christian heritage.
