Party Policy Comparison

Issue	Conservative	People's Party	Liberal	NDP	Christian Heritage	Green
Sanctity of Human Life	The Party’s official policy declaration explicitly condemns sex-selective abortions. Party policy declaration supports a Born Alive Infant Protection Act that would require babies who survive abortion be given life-saving medical care. A conflict exists between the Policy Platform and the Party Constitution, with respect to an abortion law. The Constitution (good) describes as a guiding principle of the party: “A belief in the value and dignity of all human life”, whereas the policy declaration (bad) states that “A Conservative Government will not support any legislation to regulate abortion”. The Party policy declaration pledges to implement a "National Adoption Strategy, including an awareness campaign to promote adoption". This is a great policy which, if implemented, would actually reduce the number of abortions in Canada.	Campaign platform pledges that a People's Party government will do two things: #1) "Foster a National Debate on Abortion" and "Challenge other political parties to explain why they believe killing a healthy and viable unborn child is morally acceptable and should remain legal." #2) Introduce a "Protection of Preborn Children Act... where abortion is gradually restricted after the first trimester and late late-term abortions are prohibited except in exceptional circumstances". The party is open to pro-life candidates and has pledged to allow pro-life private members bills to be put forward.	Supports abortion-on-demand throughout all 9 months of pregnancy, up to the moment of birth. The Liberals were responsible for legalizing the form of murder known as euthanasia, and unleashing on Canada a nightmarish death culture wherein people are being approved for lethal injection because they can't pay their bills, are having trouble finding housing, suffer with mental illness and other slippery slope scenarios that the Liberals denied could ever happen when they were pushing legislation to repeal the Criminal Code prohibition on assisted suicide. Thanks to legalization of euthanasia by the Liberals, multiple Canadian veterans were denied funding for assisted living services (e.g. wheel chair lift, counselling), but were told that the government would be happy to fund their death via lethal injection.	Supports abortion-on-demand throughout all 9 months of pregnancy, up to the moment of birth. Bans pro-life Canadians from running as NDP candidates. Would withhold federal healthcare funding for any province that dares to implement any kind of regulatory barrier to abortion.	Official policy is to “defend innocent human life from conception to natural death” Opposes abortion in every circumstance.	Supports abortion – on – demand throughout all 9 months of pregnancy, up to the moment of birth Bans pro life Canadians from running as Green Party candidates
Funding Abortion Overseas	Official policy is that “abortion should be explicitly excluded from Canada’s maternal & child health program in countries where Canadian aid is delivered”.	Has pledged to "abolish international development aid" by Canada, with the exception of emergency humanitarian action in cases such as conflicts and natural disasters. This would indirectly end taxpayer funding of overseas abortions, which would be a very good thing indeed.

Compelled Speech	The official Policy Declaration opposes the state forcing citizens to speak words in which they do not believe.

Furthermore, any person "encouraging minors to 'transition' will be held criminally responsible for attempting to cause harm". Would repeal Bill C-4, the so-called "conversion therapy ban" which aims to jail parents, therapists and pasters who help minors who suffer from gender dysphoria accept their bodily reality.
