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?

 @9RC7956from Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

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.

 @9RBYR4Hfrom New Brunswick  answered…5mos5MO

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

 @9RBXVHZfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

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.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

In your opinion, how should governments balance secularism with the religious beliefs of their leaders or parties?

 @9TQWX6J from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

no, separation of church and state is important to the basis of democracy. a mandatory religion would result in persecution as it has historically

 @9TR8PRXfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

the government and religion should be separated to ensure democracy

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How do you feel about the idea that 'the purpose of civil government is to ensure security, freedom, and justice for all its citizens' guided by religious values?

 @9RHT9RNNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Religion should play zero role in a democratic multicultural society

 @9RHQQ4Tfrom Prince Edward Island  answered…5mos5MO

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.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

What challenges do you think arise when a party seeks to create laws based on religious teachings in a diverse society?

 @9TMR89C from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

I have no trustworthy information on this matter. I apologize for not having a response.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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?

 @9RY6LP4from British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

Negativity. Freedom of religion is a right we should protect

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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?

 @9RC8G4Cfrom Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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…5mos5MO

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 **** .

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

Do you think a party with strong religious values can fairly represent people from many different backgrounds?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

How would you personally define justice, and do you believe it should come from religious or secular ideas?

What role do you think compassion should play in politics, and should that compassion come from religious principles?

Do you feel that religious values can offer universal guidelines, or are they too specific to apply in a diverse society?

How would you feel if your country's laws were based on religious principles?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

How would you react if you felt that your personal freedoms were impacted by a government’s religious-based policies?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Can a political party's focus on specific religious values benefit or harm a diverse society?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How would you reconcile personal beliefs with policies that might contradict those beliefs in a democratic society?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

How important do you think it is for a political party to have a basis in specific moral or religious principles?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

What challenges might a political party face if it attempts to govern a multicultural and multi-religious society based on religious principles?

How do your personal values align with the idea of a government being guided by religious principles?

Vetting Fiasco: Trump's Defense Pick Caught in Sexual Assault Allegation Storm

CNN commentator and New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said President-elect Donald Trump’s team missed Pete Hegseth’s payoff to a sexual assault accuser when they vetted him to be secretary of defense.Hegseth is among a raft of cabinet picks facing tough confirmations, and who aren’t being subjected to the customary FBI checks, instead being vetted by private firms. Over the weekend, Hegseth’s attorney dropped the bomb that there was a confidential settlement with a woman who accused the former Fox News host of sexual assault. On Monday night’s edition of CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, Haberman revealed that her sources in Trump world did not know about the payoff, which was missed in the vetting “because it was a private settlement”HABERMAN: There’s more concern from some people around Trump than there is from Trump himself, about this whole issue. Trump has really dug in, and has told advisers that he is going to stick with Hegseth. Now, we’ll see if anything else emerges.They did do a vet, we are told. This did not show up, this issue, because it was a private settlement, according to the people, who were briefed on what took place. Trump really likes Pete Hegseth. But this did introduce the thing Trump doesn’t like, which is an element of surprise and a negative headline. And so, we will see where this goes.

Inside the Podcast Revolution: Trump’s Unfiltered Strategy and Harris’s ‘Meltdown’ Risk

Tech billionaire Elon Musk attributed President-elect Trump’s election victory, at least in part, to the lengthy podcast interviews he did during the campaign.In an interview late Tuesday with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Musk said Trump’s podcast appearances showed the American public that he was a normal person.“I think it made a big difference that President Trump and soon-to-be Vice President Vance went on lengthy podcasts,” Musk said in the interview.“I think this really makes a difference because people look at, like, Joe Rogan’s podcast, which is great, and Lex Fridman’s and the All-In podcast, and, you know, to a reasonable-minded, smart person — who’s not, like, hardcore one way or the other — they just listen to someone talk for a few hours and that’s how they decide whether, you know, you’re a good person, whether they like you,” he added, according to a clip highlighted by Mediaite.Trump conducted many interviews with new media during his campaign, as well as with legacy news organizations such as Fox News.Last month, he joined Joe Rogan’s podcast for a 3-hour long interview. The celebrity host later endorsed his candidacy.His opponent, Vice President Harris, did not appear on Rogan’s podcast because, according to “The Joe Rogan Experience” host, the Harris campaign only had an hour and required him to travel to her. Rogan said he felt “strongly” that the “best way to do” an interview with the vice president would have been in his studio in Austin, Texas.Musk recalled posting on his social platform X account that “nothing would do more damage” to Harris’s campaign than going on Rogan’s podcast, “because she would run out of non-sequiturs after about 45 minutes.”“You can’t hide for three hours,” Carlson replied.Musk added, “Yeah, like, hour two and three would be a complete melted puddle of nonsense. So it would just be absolute game over. That’s why she didn’t go on.”“But on the other hand, Trump, he’s there, and there’s no, there’s no talking points,” the Tesla CEO continued. “He’s just being a normal person who’s having a conversation, and doing three hours of Rogan, no problem.”

Defense Bill Blocks Transgender Care To Minors

The Senate on Wednesday gave final approval to a defense policy bill directing $895 billion toward the Pentagon and other military activities, moving over the objections of some Democrats who opposed a provision added late in the negotiations that would deny coverage for transgender health procedures for minors.The 85-to-14 vote, coming a week after a divided House passed the same measure, cleared the bill for President Biden’s signature.Most Republicans and many Democrats supported the measure, which provides a 14.5 percent pay raise to junior enlisted service members and a 4.5 percent pay raise for all other service members. It also expands access to meal assistance, housing and child care programs that benefit those in uniform.But several Democrats withheld their backing in protest of a provision preventing TRICARE, the military’s health care plan for service members, from covering “medical interventions for the treatment of gender dysphoria that could result in sterilization” for children under 18.The language, which would affect the gender-transitioning children of service members, was recently added to the measure at the insistence of Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, who refused to bring a defense bill to the House floor without it, according to aides familiar with the negotiations.Twenty-one Democrats, led by Senator Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, proposed an amendment to strip the provision from the bill, but the matter was never brought to a vote. Several of them took to the floor on Tuesday to lodge their objections.“It’s flat-out wrong to put this provision in this bill and take away a service member’s freedom to make that decision for their families,” Ms. Baldwin said, estimating that the provision could negatively affect as many as 6,000 to 7,000 military families.
