We’ve actually seen this for years: politicians vying for position and negotiating pragmatic partnerships that are bound to result in compromise for at least one, if not both.

Last week, in the USA, former Presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., cut his losses and joined forces with Donald J. Trump, an arrangement that would have seemed impossible a few months ago and with no guarantee that it will result in electoral success. That actually came as a surprise to many, including the volunteers and donors who had been supporting RFK Jr.’s White House bid. This is one alliance that I think has at least a possibility of saving the USA from a disastrous four years with Kamala Harris at the helm. Former President Trump has promised—if he is elected—to include RFK in some role on a committee seeking to improve the health of Americans through better nutrition, stricter control of pesticides and other chemicals, and a thorough investigation into childhood vaccine injuries. Time will tell whether this partnership will succeed. The two have some major differences on other topics, but for now this move seems to have unsettled the Democrats, the party of RFK’s father and uncle, both of whom were assassinated while attempting to solve some of America’s social and international challenges.

In Ottawa today (August 29), Conservative Leader, Pierre Poilievre, called on NDP Leader, Jagmeet Singh, to abandon his annoying support of Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Government (the so-called Supply and Confidence Agreement) and—with a vote of no confidence—bring on a fall election, rather than waiting until next year. There’s no indication that Jagmeet Singh will take the bait; after all, if he were to lose his own seat, he would leave Parliament without qualifying for his MP pension. Not only that; he has been able to use his leverage to force the Liberals to fast-track some NDP policy proposals, like government-subsidized dental care and pharmacare. For most of us who care about the protection of innocent human life, the recognition of God-designed human sexuality (male and female) and the defence of basic freedoms—freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, etc.—this pact between Mr. Singh and Mr. Trudeau has been seen as an agreement forged in hell. The leaders of two evil parties have conspired to promote abortion, to censor free speech, to promote and subsidize gender confusion, to coerce Canadian citizens into being injected with an experimental substance, to deny mobility rights, to spend the hard-earned wages of future taxpayers and to subsidize media for their personal benefit. Their alliance would not have lasted as long as it has . . . except that both parties share nearly-identical world views and both leaders enjoy the limelight and power.

Also this week, we saw a huge shakeup in provincial politics in BC. With the BC election only a few weeks away, Kevin Falcon, the Leader of BC United (formerly BC Liberals) and John Rustad, Leader of the newly-invigorated BC Conservatives, made a surprise joint announcement that BC United would withdraw from the election and current MLAs and candidates from both parties would be reorganized so that some of the current BC United MLAs will be anointed as candidates for the BC Conservatives, and other aspiring candidates from both parties will be expected to step aside in new nomination appointments to give the BC Conservatives the best chance of defeating the corrupt and failing socialist NDP regime. At this writing, it’s too early to tell what fallout and falling-out there may be within the ranks of both these parties.

Beating the NDP and restoring some common sense and business sense to the Victoria Legislature would be a good thing. But what price will the BC Conservatives have to pay to placate the disgruntled incumbents? It’s obvious that many of the former BC Liberals are not comfortable with some of the policies and statements coming from the surging BC Conservatives. After all, their Leader, John Rustad, was kicked out of BC United (how united were they?) for challenging their embrace of the “carbon causes climate change” narrative and for questioning the covid vaccine mandates that destroyed BC’s healthcare system. How are the members of the party that kicked him out now going to adopt his position on those issues? Again, it will remain to be seen whether this sudden merger (for that’s effectively what it is) will result in victory at the polls on October 19. It seems likely, and, if it happens, many BC residents will breathe a sigh of relief to have the oppressive NDP boots taken off their necks.

But how deep will that relief be? The newly-minted BC Conservatives will then have to re-hash policies that may—in the end—not differ that much from the former BC Liberals. In 2016, it was a BC Liberal government that added “transgenderism” to the BC Human Rights Code. And John Rustad was a BC Liberal then. That bill was passed in one day—first, second and third reading—with not a single vote of protest. Much the same way that federal Conservatives meekly allowed the passage of C-4 without a single vote of protest . . . the bill that criminalizes parents and pastors for clearly supporting biblical sexuality. The BC liberals did little in 2005 when the Corren Agreement brought homosexual propaganda into the public schools. And the current BC Conservative Party has no policy on abortion, doctor-assisted suicide, bubble zones or conscience protection for medical professionals.

That’s why I’ll be running as a CHP-BC candidate in the BC provincial election. Of all the names mentioned above in this article, leaders of parties on both sides of the border, NOT ONE has a principled pro-life position. NOT ONE is willing to speak in defence of biblical sexuality and gender. For the record, the Christian Heritage Party of BC—like the Christian Heritage Party of Canada—supports the protection of innocent human life from conception until natural death. We support a biblical view of sexuality and gender and a return to marriage between one man and one woman. In BC, we would defund abortion, doctor-assisted suicide and every form of gender mutilation, especially if it involves minors. We’d implement mandatory balanced budgets and pay off the provincial debt which has grown under the NDP.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked rule, the people mourn. Prov. 29:2 Wouldn’t it be nice if we could rejoice once again in our nation, in our provinces?

Be not unequally yoked together. 2 Cor. 6:14 Don’t water down your witness or your principles.

Join CHP today. We’re looking for good candidates both in BC and across the country for the next federal election. Help us turn the tide. We will not compromise with evil.
