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?
@9RC79564mos4MO
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.
@9RBXVHZ4mos4MO
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.
@9RBYR4H4mos4MO
No religion in laws and government at all, ever. Religion is personal and should not be allowed in public institutions and for missionary.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
In your opinion, how should governments balance secularism with the religious beliefs of their leaders or parties?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
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 Democratic4mos4MO
Religion should play zero role in a democratic multicultural society
@9RHQQ4T4mos4MO
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.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What challenges do you think arise when a party seeks to create laws based on religious teachings in a diverse society?
@9TMR89C 2mos2MO
I have no trustworthy information on this matter. I apologize for not having a response.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
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?
@9RY6LP44mos4MO
Negativity. Freedom of religion is a right we should protect
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
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?
@9RC8G4C4mos4MO
Health should be left to health care professionals, not politicians.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
In what ways do you believe Judeo-Christian values could impact modern society if they were more prominently applied in public policy?
@9RBJ6W3New Democratic4mos4MO
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 **** .
