An important statement to the rest of the pro-life community from the CHP:
August 28, 2008
Dear fellow pro-lifers I’m sure you’ve already seen the LifeSiteNews story by John-Henry Westen with the headline:
Conservative Party kills Unborn Victims of Crime Act with gutless alternative
And the sub-head:
Government legislation to mirror proposals by pro-abortionists on the issue
Canadians who share those concerns should pay close attention to the advice Internet journalist Joseph Farah is giving his countrymen about the November 2008 presidential election in the USA:
If not, you can read the whole story at:
Conservative Party of Canada Kills Unborn Victims of Crime Act with Gutless Alternative
The Conservative Party now stands fully exposed: they are just as anti-life as the Liberals, NDP, Bloc, Greens, and Marxist-Leninists.
Both the Prime Minister and the Justice Minister have promised to protect the abortion industry against the risk of legislation on abortion coming before Parliament.
They are surely not at all pro-life! What is more, they are anti-democratic, imposing their dogmatic pro-abortion views on Parliament—even denying their own MPs a chance to debate the most important issue before the nation.
Now we can understand why pro-life Conservative MPs like Maurice Vellacott and Ken Epp languish on the back benches: their viewpoint— which their constituents elected them to bring into the policy debates—is simply unwelcome in the Tory caucus.
CHP President Larry Spencer, when he was an Alliance MP, experienced the same shunning by the Prime Minister and his policy cabal over the issue of same-sex “marriage”.
Remember, too, that this is the party and the government that handed over $300 million of taxpayers’ money to Big Pharma, to make Canadian girls as young as nine “guinea pigs” in their promotion of an inadequately-tested vaccine designed to offer partial immunity against four forms of HPV, a sexually-transmitted disease.
There are several important things that can be done right now:
* First, as many pro-lifers as possible should generate a massive wave of memberships in Canada’s only pro-life, pro-family party, the CHP. If you’re a member of the CPC, cancel TODAY. Go to www.chp.ca to join the CHP—and please make a generous donation to help overcome the unfair advantage the four parties now in the House of Commons have given themselves by raiding the public treasury to finance their re-election campaigns.
* Second, all pro-life organizations should publicly declare their support for the CHP in the soon-to-be called federal election.
* Third, every Canadian deserves an opportunity to vote CHP. We still have some openings for candidates in electoral districts across Canada. Why not offer to let your name stand in true defense of the values you believe in and the values this country needs to lead it?
You may previously have supported another party, in hopes that they would support the things you believe in. If so, now you know enough to realize that your support was mis-placed. If you make a principled decision to change, be assured that you have not left your party… your party has left you… just as both major parties—in fact all parties now in Parliament—have abandoned all Canadians who believe in the sanctity of life and the family.
Please pray about taking these decisive steps TODAY.
There’ll never be a better time to make your voice heard!
With you in His service
Ron Gray
National Leader
Christian Heritage Party of Canada
PS - Not everyone will ever agree with all the policies of any political party. We understand that there may be policy issues that have prevented you from supporting the CHP in the past. Those policies can be discussed at our convention in London, ON, November 5-8, if you are a member of the CHP.
But no policy issue is as important as the sanctity of innocent human life and the sanctity of marriage.
And on those issues, only the CHP represents you.

NEWS RELEASE
August 28, 2008
For immediate release
CHP urges Canadians to dump Tories
Blasts Prime Minister Harper & Justice Minister Nicholson as ‘protectors of the abortion industry’
OTTAWA, August 28, 2008 (CHPNews) — With a federal election looming, the Christian Heritage Party has seized on the Conservative government’s move to kill its own MP’s Unborn Victims of Violence Act as a reason to urge Canadians to dump the Conservative Party and join the CHP.
In a strongly-worded statement, CHP leader Ron Gray today noted that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Justice Minister Rob Nicholson “have promised to protect the abortion industry against the risk of legislation on abortion coming before Parliament.”
“They have made their party the protector of the abortion industry,” Gray said.
The Prime Minister said at the 2005 policy convention: “I will use whatever influence I have to ensure that no legislation on abortion comes before Parliament.” And in a recent statement announcing a government bill to replace Tory MP Ken Epp’s Unborn Victims of Violence Act, Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said, “Let me be clear, our government will not reopen the debate on abortion… the government will introduce legislation that will punish criminals who commit violence against pregnant women but do so in a way that leaves no room for the introduction of fetal rights.”
Gray retorted: “That’s patently absurd. The pre-born child is a full human being. If left undisturbed, it will be born as a human being. The pregnant woman is not ‘going to become a mother’—she is a mother. That child will emerge from the womb. The only question is whether it emerges alive and healthy, or dead and dismembered.
“The fact that courts and legislatures decree that the pre-born child ‘is not a person’ is irrelevant, illogical—and wrong. There was a time when courts and legislatures said people of African ancestry were ‘not persons’; they were wrong. There was a time when the Supreme Court of Canada said women were ‘not persons’; they were wrong.
“The pre-born child is as much a member of the human family as you or I.
“We believe that if we can ever get an honest debate going in Parliament on this issue, the vast majority of Canadians will agree with us on four important points:
• Abortion deliberately takes the life of an innocent human being—and that’s the definition of murder;
• Adoption is the humane and rational alternative to killing the baby.
• A woman facing an unanticipated pregnancy should be given full information, counsel, comfort, and material aid to help her realize that there are non-lethal solutions to her dilemma;
• Canada urgently needs the 105,000 young lives we carelessly snuff out each year.
“We can do better than ‘death as the solution to inconvenient pregnancy’,” Gray said. “We must—our humanity demands it!
“The Conservative Party has every right to join the Liberals, NDP, Bloc, Greens and Marxists as defenders of the abortion industry,” Gray said. “But 70 percent of Canadians consistently say they want restrictions on abortion; about 40 percent believe abortion is the murder of an innocent human being.
“That vast number of Canadians now have no one left to speak for them in the political arena—except the CHP. That’s why we’re urging all pro-life Canadians to abandon the sinking ship of the morally bankrupt left—which includes the Tories—and come to the CHP: it’s the only pro-life, pro-family federal political party in Canada.”

Red Deer Advocate - August 8, 2008
Letter: Mounties shouldn't be marching in gay pride parades
As a young man in Alberta and the Yukon, I had opportunity to see the
work of the RCMP up close. I considered these fellows to be princes
among men. In detachments from Fort McPherson to Griese Fiord, they kept
the peace, inoculated dogs, pulled teeth, kept population records and
died in the line of duty to make this county what it was when I was
growing up.
In the North, there were ministers and their wives who sacrificed
everything for Christianity. They educated, washed, cared for, deloused
and died for the love of the people of the North. I guess I was blind
and deaf, as I never heard stories or rumours of native abuse. Certainly
many of the people hated school, as I know I did, but I also hated the
dentist as well. On the Alaska Highway, there were public health nurses
who travelled from Dawson Creek to Mile 1,202 , winter and summer, in an
ordinary car or powerwagon, when conditions were too wild. These nurses
slept in shacks and in the open while moving from settlement to
settlement caring for natives and their children. The care these ladies
provided is all but forgotten when it comes time for some denizen of
Ottawa to pick a Governor General for Canada. It's just like ordinary
hard-working white Canadians are something to be covered over and
hidden.
As mounted policemen, every Sunday morning in the barracks, we were
rousted out of bed and there would be Anglicans, Roman Catholics,
United, a few Lutherans, a Baptist or two and away we would march to the
church of our choice. Because we were all Christians, when the choir of
Mounties sang in the chapel, we were all equal.
At this time, I note that the RCMP are reported to be going to march in
the homosexual parade in Vancouver. You know, fellow Albertans, if I
didn't stand up for the princes in the scarlet tunic at this time, it
would be as if my country was just a composite of lies dreamed up by our
government in Ottawa. Those men, whom I served with, were so honest it
would make you blush as they spoke in court. If any one was dishonest,
his life as a Mountie was fast and short because you might not be
terribly smart, but you could not be dishonest. Those men, in their
graves, will be ashamed if this silly government allows this travesty to
take place.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has apologized to the natives and given
them some money. He has apologized to the Chinese and given them some
money. He has apologized to the East Indians and they have refused his
apology. How many Chinese and East Indians are here in Canada illegally
now? Possibly Harper should apply for citizenship in their countries and
see where it gets him.
Meanwhile, he should fire Stockwell Day and the new commissioner of the
RCMP, William Elliot, for bringing such shame on our force. You can't
blame Day or Elliot really because neither of them have spent any time
in the force. Do these politicians in Ottawa have to destroy every last
vestige of respect we have for our country?

Chicken Little and Global Warming
by Rod Taylor, CHP Environmental Critic
Do you remember the children’s story about Chicken Little? The tiny chick was struck on the head by a falling acorn and decided that the sky must be falling. The little bird kept repeating the story so convincingly that soon all the other barnyard fowl were in a panic and they ran off to warn the king. In the earliest version of this fable, they met a fox on the way who took advantage of their hysterical state and gobbled them up. In the more modern versions, (revisionism everywhere) they managed to escape the fox and Chicken Little received an umbrella from the king to prevent being struck by another acorn.
Today this fairytale has come to life. Many well-meaning people, including NDP Environment critic Nathan Cullen have been taken in by Al Gore’s powerful propaganda movie “An Inconvenient Truth”. Politicians of all stripes are hurriedly implementing carbon taxes and “cap and trade” schemes to soothe the afflicted consciences of Canadians who desperately want to help save Planet Earth. These carbon taxes will never be “revenue neutral” but are already playing a role in the skyrocketing price of oil and gasoline. “Cap and trade” and “carbon offsets” do nothing to solve environmental problems but do add another level of taxpayer-funded bureaucracy, leaving even less money in the hands of Canadians to pay for their transportation and heating needs.
MP Cullen continues to promote this outlandish fairytale in spite of the growing mountain of data that conflicts with the “Global Warming” hoax. To date, over 31,000 scientists have signed a petition to “cease and desist” from aggressive carbon-focused policies and treaties like Kyoto, which they say will damage our economy and impede our efforts to curb real pollution.
Every responsible citizen wants to reduce man-made chemical toxins in our environment but water vapour and carbon dioxide are not toxins. They are beneficial gases needed for life and plant growth. There is NO evidence that miniscule increases in CO2 levels are contributing to global warming. Natural cycles have always existed and sunspot activity is most likely at the core of any real climate change. Unlike Al Gore’s “hockeystick” graph, historical evidence suggests that increases in CO2 levels follow periods of global warming, rather than preceding them. There is also evidence today that the planet may be entering a cooling phase.
Fear and panic are tools used to manipulate and control people and to wring more money out of them for ever-expanding government. Chicken Little and the alarmist flock may be making a flap in Parliament but it’s taxpayers who will have to pay when the chickens come home to roost. Let’s take our finger off the panic button and focus on the things we can change: reducing real pollution, ensuring clean drinking water for ourselves and our children (that includes protecting the Sacred Headwaters, something Nathan and I agree on) and pursuing realistic energy alternatives for the future.

Behind Politics
By Jim Hnatiuk
Is the human embryo a person? I believe it is. If the embryo is ruled to be a person then all other abortion arguments become groundless because a person is protected under the law.
Let me give you a hypothetical case: A husband and wife are planning to have a baby. Shortly after they make this decision tragically the woman is raped. A month later it is discovered that she is pregnant but they cannot be certain as to who the father is. They decide to have the baby. Eight months later a wonderful healthy baby boy is born. They are saddened by the news that the baby is the result of the rape. So I ask: “Would it make sense now to kill the baby?” Of course not, the baby is a ‘person’ and protected under the law.
In Canada alone, there are over 105,000 innocent "unborn persons" being put to death each year. Canadians are outraged that this non-person status of the unborn baby allows mothers the "choice" to destroy a little person, right up until full term. In Canada the doctor is allowed to kill the baby in the womb, right up to the moment of his or her birth. The doctor must insure the baby is dead before delivery otherwise they would be charged with manslaughter or worse should the baby survive even for a few seconds after being born.
Why is this horrible procedure allowed? Answer: At each federal election most people unknowingly vote in favor of this practice because they are unaware of their candidate’s position on the issue. For politicians the issue is too politically threatening to want to debate it or even mention it. How tragic.
Prior to the early 1900's in Canada women did not have the right to vote. Under the law a woman was not legally a "person". Today we know this was ridiculous. Today the “non-person” status of the unborn child is equally ridiculous. Only you can change that.
