Christian Heritage

The Christian Heritage Party of Canada, also referred to as CHP Canada, is a minor social and fiscal conservative federal political party in Canada, founded in 1987. CHP advocates for Canada to be governed according to Christian principles. The party’s stated principle is that "the purpose of civil government is to ensure security, freedom, and justice for all its citizens from conception till natural death, by upholding just laws". CHP states that, if the party forms government, it hopes to "apply proven Judeo-Christian principles of justice and compassion to Canada’s contemporary public policy needs".

What's your perspective on balancing freedom of religion with creating laws that apply to everyone equally?

 @9RBYR4Hfrom New Brunswick  answered…3mos3MO

No religion in laws and government at all, ever. Religion is personal and should not be allowed in public institutions and for missionary.

 @9RC7956from Nova Scotia  answered…3mos3MO

The law should be secular, and people should have the freedom to wear what they want and express what they want. Religious freedom must be preserved, but so too should the freedom of others to express themselves as they want without being drug into debates around Christian family values.

 @9RBXVHZfrom Nova Scotia  answered…3mos3MO

There is absolutely no role for religion in politics. Religious freedom means that an individual is able to hold whichever religious beliefs they would like but it doesn’t mean they can force others to follow said beliefs.

Religion should have absolutely no part in government. It is ridiculous to think of the government subjecting it's people to religious ideals no matter what religion.

In a society that values separation of church and state, how would you view a political party that aims to govern based on religious principles?

Negativity. Freedom of religion is a right we should protect

Do you think a government should prioritize 'justice for all its citizens from conception till natural death,' and what might that look like to you?

Health should be left to health care professionals, not politicians.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

In what ways do you believe Judeo-Christian values could impact modern society if they were more prominently applied in public policy?

 @9RBJ6W3New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Absolutely nothing positive in virtually any conceivable way — anyone who uses "Judeo-Christian values" in contemporary parlance is probably supporting some sort of 'Handmaid's Tale' level Republican Party Christo-fascist bull **** .
