Side-by-Side Candidate Comparison in the Riding of Tobique - Mactaquac

Rating Comments

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.

Also in June 2021, this principled MP voted against Justin Trudeau’s parental prosecution bill, C-6, which seeks to put parents in jail up to 5 years if they dare to affirm their gender-confused child in their biological sex.

Richard was deemed to be pro-life during a face-to-face conversation with a CLC Leader. He has not yet completed CLC's election survey.

During the 2020 CPC Leadership race, Richard endorsed Leslyn Lewis, the pro-life, pro-family leadership candidate who was also supported by CLC. This is notable because many other pro-life MPs, disappointingly, endorsed the pro-abortion Peter MacKay and Erin O’Toole.

In December 2022, Richard joyfully made clear his Christian beliefs with a statement in the House of Commons acknowledging the birth of Jesus at Christmas (see Quotes tab).

Official party position is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideology. In fact, Trudeau's 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.
