In June 2021, this MP rightly voted in favour of pro-life Bill C-233, introduced by Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, to outlaw the horrific practice of sex-selective abortion, in which unborn babies are killed for no other reason than their sex.

Michael gave perfect answers to our 2018 CLC elections questionnaire. He won the by-election on December 3, 2018 by a wide margin.

CLC was disappointed to see this stalwart pro-life MP endorse the pro-abortion, 2020 Conservative Leadership candidate Erin O’Toole, especially when there were two strong pro-life candidates in the race, MP Derek Sloan and Dr. Leslyn Lewis, behind whom all pro-lifers needed to rally.

During Parliamentary debates on euthanasia expansion Bill C-7, MP Barrett wisely cautioned that the bill could disproportionally impact vulnerable communities (see Quotes tab).

Official 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.

Official NDP policy is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideology.
According to Ms. Taylor's facebook page, she supports so-called "LGBTQ rights", but does not specify what that means.

This individual was the NDP candidate in the 2019 federal election.
