Election 2019: Putting Life! Family! and Freedom! on the Ballot Tue, September 17, 2019 | Author: Rod Taylor | Volume 26 Issue 37 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. The national broadcaster, CBC, along with the other “bigs” (CTV, Globe and Mail, et.al.) continue to act as if this campaign were a two- or three-party race. They continue to act as if Canadians have no other choice but to return the failed Liberals to power (scandals and all) or to allow the Conservatives—bowing and scraping to every self-interested lobby group they may have offended in the past—to come back to Ottawa with a new mandate. They give some honourable mention to the Greens, the Bloc and the Peoples Party but one cannot miss the message to voters: it’s either Justin or Andrew, so take your pick. That’s a false dilemma. That media narrative ignores the 11 other registered political parties including the Christian Heritage Party. When the Liberals tried to paint Andrew as a pro-lifer and he bent over backwards to prove that he and his party would never allow abortion to be seriously challenged, CBC talking heads got together to muse and ponder. They chased down Elizabeth May and made her recant her suggestion that she would allow back benchers to discuss abortion. They baited Jagmeet Singh who vowed that the NDP would never allow abortion to be challenged. The pundits and their political puppets bandied this about ad nauseam. What they didn’t do was to call up the leader of the only political party that is 100% pro-life from conception until natural death, the CHP. With $1.6 billion annually coming from the taxpayers, the CBC never bothered to review the platform of a truly pro-life party. This is one of the biggest challenges we face: the smoke-and-mirrors charade of a national media that influences voters even with its polls and that has done so for over 40 years. Today in Canada, we have abortion on demand, same-sex marriage, carbon taxes, gender-oriented schools, doctor-assisted suicide and repressive human rights tribunals largely because of the constant barrage of biased media cleverly disguised as balanced journalists. And we’re paying for it. On top of CBC’s $1.6 billion, our shameless PM has given out $595 million to his special friends in the media, the ones he can count on to spin the stories his way. Add to that the influencers in the bought-and-paid-for education system, the new marijuana moguls, the courts and Senate packed with Liberal friends . . . it would be easy to be discouraged. But we are NOT discouraged! Across this country, in nine provinces, CHP candidates have stepped forward boldly to proclaim the truth, and to offer voters an opportunity to vote for the principles about which they care so deeply: Life! Family! and Freedom! So far, almost 50 CHP candidates are running and we know that many others are coming forward to put the CHP on the ballot in even more districts. We are working with our new potential candidates to help them get registered and to run good campaigns. If you live in a district without a CHP candidate, NOW is the time to help us find and train a CHP candidate for your area. Maybe it’s YOU! Maybe it’s someone you know, a person of integrity and passion for this country, someone who is willing to work hard for a few weeks and to stand up and boldly proclaim the truth . . . for the benefit of his or her fellow citizens and for future generations. The race is on! The door is closing rapidly. Nominations will be officially closed on September 30 but in order to successfully register and have your name on the ballot, you will need to get going very soon! Today would be the best day to start! We’d love to hear from you and we’d love to have many more Canadians given the opportunity to vote for Life! Family! and Freedom! If you already have a candidate in your district, he or she can use your help as a volunteer or as a financial donor. And CHP Canada can always use your help and support. God bless you all as we press forward to make a difference in Election 2019!

Selling Out…or Compromise?

Tue, July 23, 2019 | Author: Vicki Gunn | Volume 26 Issue 29  

Was anyone else part of the craze in the late 1960s that was called “Monkee Mania”?  

I was a fan from day one right through to the bitter end. Perhaps one of my favourite songs was “Shades of Gray”:  

It was easy then to know truth from lies  

Selling out from compromise. . .  

But, today, there is no black or white, only shades of gray. . .  

When I look at Canada’s political scene today, I’d say that what looked like compromise over the past many years was really selling out.  

We once had a defined standard of right and wrong, but that was “yesterday”. We knew that children needed to be protected and our laws reflected that need to protect our children. We knew that even though free speech sometimes hurt, it was essential for a free people to be allowed to express themselves within the confines of the law. So our laws protected that. We knew that public displays of sexuality were not appropriate and so we had laws to protect the public from lewd behaviours. We knew that women had less physical strength and so they were protected when they were at their most vulnerable…in public intimate facilities like washrooms and change rooms.  

We didn’t live in a perfect world back then. I remember a classmate going to “stay with her aunt” for a while. There were young women ostracized because they became pregnant outside of marriage. I remember tittering with the other girls when rumour had it that a fellow classmate had contracted a sexually transmitted disease. I remember visiting Toronto as a teenager and being shocked by the sight of a man in a tight, white, knit skirt.  

In short, all of the ills that are part of society today were present “yesterday” but they were not part of the mainstream. They shocked us.  

What went wrong? Today, rather than protecting our children, we teach them about sexual alternatives. Rather than affirming the family, our courts order a father not to refer to his daughter as a girl or he will face abuse charges — all the while the court approves life-altering medical treatments without parental consent. We tell children that being a boy or a girl is not reality. We tell them that they can become the opposite sex, without telling them that they can never in reality change their DNA; they can just mask it… and the damage done cannot be reversed if they change their minds.  

What went wrong? Today, we are only allowed to speak freely as long as we only express “liberal” thoughts. We are only allowed to speak freely as long as we don’t hurt somebody’s feelings. Come to think of it, what happened to “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me”? While we felt the sting of someone saying something mean to us, we didn’t let that define us. We had been toughened through years of childhood spats to deal with insults.  

What happened to move us from a society that honoured our historical Christian heritage to one that allows the arrest of a street preacher for doing what street preachers do…preach?  

We didn’t get where we are today from one single decision. We got there by gradually fuzzying the edges of what was considered okay behaviour. When people quit being shocked by black or white becoming tinged with grey, then the societal architects decided that a bit more stirring up of the edges to mix the black and white would not be noticed.  

Many who opposed stood firm…for a while…but in the end it was such a faint mixing of black and white that surely that little bit of grey didn’t matter.  

What about those annoying people who refused to mix the black and white? People looked at them as being rigid. Today, they can face charges should they publicly express their thoughts.  

Today, on the eve of another federal election, have you wondered, “Who is CHP Canada?”  

CHP Canada is comprised of those who did not compromise even when those in other political parties lacked the backbone to say “no”. CHP Canada is made up of those who saw the trend of colourless and indistinct shades of grey becoming dominant over our former understanding based on black and white, right and wrong. Those who have grasped this in recent years have developed a new appreciation of the beauty of our historic Christian heritage. They’ve noticed that the political mainstream and their media partners have lost their understanding of Canada’s Christian heritage and now reflect only progressive shades of grey. These folks have joined the CHP and are putting themselves on the front-lines in the battle for our culture.  

The Christian Heritage Party is made up of people like you and me. People who have looked at the great freedoms that flourished under our Christian heritage and have committed themselves to the battle for a return to the values once shared by all; they see the urgency and want to do their part — before all freedom is lost in this great country.  

The Christian Heritage Party needs YOU! We need you to join hands with us and refuse to accept “grey” as the colour of our culture. Canada has a vibrant, colourful culture that needs “all hands on deck” to preserve it. I’m calling on you, today, to join hands with us and hold back the tide of grey that is washing over our culture. It’s time for us to stop squandering our future and protect it with all that we are. You will face opposition, but don’t back down from doing what is right. Canada needs leaders who will stand firm and not back down from opposition. We already have some of those leaders ready to serve in the fall with a mandate from their fellow Canadians. We need more people committed to saving our way of life. We need more candidates and campaign volunteers. Whether you think you could be a candidate or think you could do more good supporting and helping another candidate; whether you are good with handling campaign funds or great at door-knocking and talking at the doorstep, Canada needs your political involvement for the next few months. Our God-given human rights depend on it. You know what’s right. So, let’s give future generations the wonderful freedoms that we have enjoyed. Join CHP Canada today.

Unplanned — Now “Unbanned”! 

Tue, July 09, 2019 | Author: Peter Vogel | Volume 26 Issue 27  

When you think of a banned movie, you are probably thinking of something so vile or indecent that it cannot be shown. There are many movies with gross indecency, wanton violence, and subversive morality in Canadian theatres. What would it take to get a movie banned in Canada? Abortion! The Unplanned movie was not actually banned in Canada, but distributors refused to carry it, which effectively banned it from theatres showing it. That changed last month when Cinedicom launched into the business of distributing movies and gave theatres the opportunity to show Unplanned, and ultimately Canadians like you the opportunity to see it. Not all Canadians want to see it, and that is OK—but some are trying to prevent others, who want to see it, from watching it. There have even been death threats that prompted a few theatres to pull back from showing it. Maybe someone will eventually produce a movie about the drama of getting the Unplanned movie into Canada! But what is it that makes this movie special? Those who promote abortion tell stories. They tell tragic stories of women in bad situations and give the impression that abortion helped these women. Unplanned tells a story too. It tells Abby Johnston’s story, and it shows that abortion is not the “happily ever after” ending that abortion advocates make it out to be. Along these same lines is Melody’s Story which you can watch on CHP’s website. Also, please consider watching and promoting the documentary “The Missing Project” to hear about how abortions have affected many people negatively, and not only women! Without giving away too much of Unplanned, (I was able to see it at a private screening) let me say that it gripped me and did not let me go. I have had opportunities to speak to mothers who had abortions, and while their verbal accounts are stirring, honest, and moving, the movie shows you what their stories told you. If you see a PG-13 or 14A rating on this movie don’t be alarmed. There are scenes that show the bloody reality of abortion, but no overt indecency. If you are squeamish, my advice is to close your eyes for a few seconds here and there, but still go and watch it. Parents should watch it themselves before deciding whether it is appropriate for their children to see; it is not appropriate for young children. However, it should be watched by everyone who can vote. Every voter ought to confront the reality that tax-paying Canadians are paying for the procedures that this movie portrays. The story is an American one, and abortions are paid for out-of-pocket down there, but here in Canada, they are paid for from your pocket and mine. The fact that a child, made in God’s image, is killed by the procedure far outweighs the financial considerations, but the fact that our governments, provincial and federal, past and present do little or nothing to change the status-quo makes them—and those who voted for them—complicit and worse. And yet, some are quite unaware of the reality, and they will need to see it to believe it. That is why we need this film to be watched by many in theatres. Please pray that the film will be watched by many, and that many hearts will be changed. Let’s also be thankful that prayers were answered and that the film is coming to Canada! God has given us an opportunity and a tool, now let’s go and do our best to promote and share it. Action items: Invite family, friends, and neighbours to watch Unplanned with you. “Vote with your feet, buy a seat!” Be part of a sell-out crowd that will convince the theatre to show Unplanned for more than a week! If there is no space in a theatre, please consider giving up your spot to someone else, someone who might be less convinced about the humanity of the pre-born than you are. Going again later to a different viewing is a small sacrifice to make for someone else’s opportunity. CHP has been pro-life from its founding, and we have not wavered from this conviction — not because it is popular, but because it is always right to defend life and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. If you agree, please join CHP and be a voice for the voiceless as a member, donor, or even a candidate!
