Side-by-Side Candidate Comparison in the Riding of Aurora - Oak Ridges - Richmond Hill

Rating Comments

Former MP Menegakis was selected to be the Conservative Party of Canada candidate in the federal election anticipated in 2025.

In an interview with a CLC rep, he said he is "100% prolife" and regarding legislation: "If anything prolife comes up you know where my stance is" (April 23, 2011). That has been true with the exception of his 2012 vote against Stephen Woodworth's principled Motion 312 to study whether a child in the womb is a human being, based on the evidence from modern medical science. Also troubling is the fact that in 2013, Costas was a member of the parliamentary committee which deemed an important private members motion (M408) non-votable, based on trumped-up grounds. M408 merely sought to condemn the barbaric practice of female gendercide which is occurring in Canada through sex-selective abortion.

A CLC leader spoke with Costas in November 2018, and he confirmed he remains supportive of CLC and its pro-life work.

Official party policy is pro-abortion and anti-traditional marriage. In fact, Trudeau's new candidate selection process, instituted May 7, 2014, forbids any pro-life Canadians from running as Liberal Party candidates. The only way they would be allowed to run, is if they promise to vote in favour of abortion whenever such legislation comes up.
