The John-Henry Westen Show - The FIGHT for Canada： Maxime Bernier and Rod Taylor

00:00:00.000 This country has been built on the supremacy of God and the rule of law, and that's not

00:00:10.520 happening right now.

00:00:13.160 Hello, my friends.

00:00:14.100 Canada faces a critical federal election on April the 28th.

00:00:18.520 After nearly a decade of brutal liberal rule under Justin Trudeau, many Canadians feel

00:00:25.680 their country, has been transformed into a cesspool of anti-life, anti-family, anti-freedom

00:00:32.760 ideology.

00:00:33.900 Faith is mocked, truth is censored, the media is completely controlled by the left, and

00:00:39.280 globalist forces are tightening their grip on our sovereignty.

00:00:43.400 In the chaos, Canadians are desperate for leadership that defends life, family, and

00:00:50.240 freedom, but there are also many Canadians asking themselves a very difficult question,

00:00:57.100 and that is, if we're voting for someone outside the two main parties, outside the liberals or

00:01:03.220 outside the conservatives, are we only splitting the vote and making things worse?

00:01:08.020 Well, today on the John Henry Weston Show, I speak with two national leaders who are offering

00:01:14.560 alternatives to the corrupt status quo, and I ask them both plainly, are you helping or

00:01:22.040 are you hurting?

00:01:23.360 Maxime Bernier, thanks for joining us.

00:01:25.040 Thank you.

00:01:25.520 That's my pleasure.

00:01:26.580 Rod Taylor, thank you for joining us.

00:01:28.120 My pleasure and privilege.

00:01:29.740 Thank you very much for inviting me.

00:01:31.460 Let's begin, as you always do, with the sign of the cross.

00:01:34.680 In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

00:01:38.880 Amen.

00:01:39.340 So, as you know, Maxime, LifeSite News is a pro-life, pro-family, Catholic, Christian

00:01:44.220 website.

00:01:44.980 Many in our audience are, you know, looking at the Canadian election because we're both

00:01:50.220 U.S.-based and Canada-based, and in the Canadian election particularly, this upcoming April 28th

00:01:57.840 is for many people a real conundrum.

00:02:00.080 We know that the conservatives, by and large, do not support the social conservative agenda,

00:02:05.220 and most of our, in fact, all of our followers are strongly pro-life, strongly pro-family, and

00:02:10.340 Christian.

00:02:10.680 What do we do in Canada with this kind of election coming up where we have the horror

00:02:17.860 of the liberals that we just lived through for the past 10 years, and then it looks like

00:02:22.280 only one alternative?

00:02:23.260 My answer to that is, we must vote in line with our values.

00:02:28.600 You know, that's the most important.

00:02:30.600 Be honest with yourself.

00:02:33.020 You know, if you are pro-life, and you know a party that is more in favor of pro-life, you

00:02:40.320 must support that party.

00:02:42.020 If, for you, you know, mass immigration is a huge topic, and you want to support a party

00:02:49.360 that is fighting that mass immigration, you must vote in line with your ideas.

00:02:55.620 You know, if, you know, what is called party is picking that there's only two sexes, and 0.98

00:03:01.400 is there to promote the family values, you must support that, that, if it's in line with

00:03:08.580 your values, you must support that party.

00:03:10.960 So what I'm telling you, if we want changes in this country, we'll have more chance to

00:03:16.380 do, to vote for what we believe, and have the change that we want, instead of voting for

00:03:21.580 the less evil of these two mainstream political parties.

00:03:25.580 So you're coming at this from a perspective as one who was a member of the Conservative

00:03:31.660 Party in Parliament, and then you left that party and founded the PPC.

00:03:37.920 What were, for you, the main reasons why you did that?

00:03:41.480 Like I said, in 2018, the Conservative Party of Canada, at that time, I said, is morally and

00:03:48.780 intellectually corrupt, because they don't promote conservative values.

00:03:52.900 And by doing that, they're giving credibility to the leftist narrative.

00:03:57.820 And so I said, I don't want to waste my time with the Conservative anymore.

00:04:01.900 They don't want to discuss about abortion.

00:04:04.340 They don't want to reopen the debate on abortion.

00:04:06.980 For me, it is important to do that.

00:04:09.420 And we have a proposal that is in line with that.

00:04:12.520 And at the same time, you know, I'm looking at the position of the Conservative Party right

00:04:16.900 now.

00:04:17.740 They are spitting the Liberal votes.

00:04:19.640 To win, you know, they will need to have a lot of support in the big GTA around Toronto.

00:04:25.220 And you have people living in big cities or more leftists.

00:04:29.440 So Poliev is going on to that side to try to please them.

00:04:34.220 So that's why, you know, I wanted to have a political party when I was with them, who will

00:04:40.140 fight for the real issues that we have in our country.

00:04:42.880 And they don't.

00:04:43.740 I can go on and go on about all these issues, you know.

00:04:46.940 But for me, I wanted to be real and to speak about important issues for the future of this

00:04:53.120 country.

00:04:53.620 So as you know, Rod, your party is the only political party, federal party in Canada that

00:05:00.260 is fully pro-life.

00:05:01.680 Tell us about that.

00:05:02.420 Well, we began in 1986.

00:05:05.900 I won't give you a too long of an intro here to the Christian Heritage Party.

00:05:09.600 But our founders in 1986 said, you know what?

00:05:13.540 We've helped elect members of parliament.

00:05:16.200 We've worked hard in their campaigns.

00:05:18.920 They've gotten into office.

00:05:20.380 And then on the things that we care most about, the protection of innocent human life, the

00:05:24.560 support for traditional family values and freedom of conscience, we have been disappointed.

00:05:30.500 They have gotten into office and they've come under party discipline and they have not done

00:05:35.640 the things that we expect them to do.

00:05:37.360 We need a party that's going to stand for these principles and not waver, not falter, not

00:05:42.440 give in to the temptation to just want to get elected again, but to present these matters

00:05:50.020 of conscience and to stand for them.

00:05:52.440 So we've been doing that ever since.

00:05:54.560 And yes, we have maintained life, family, and freedom is our theme for the past couple

00:06:02.740 of elections.

00:06:03.640 And where we have candidates, we are bringing that message, protection of innocent human

00:06:09.260 life from conception to natural death, support for the traditional marriage between one man

00:06:14.920 and one woman to the exclusion of all others.

00:06:17.400 And of course, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech, those important things.

00:06:23.180 We have a ton of other policies.

00:06:26.400 Of course, people used to say, tell us, oh, you're a one issue party, talking about abortion

00:06:32.160 and so on.

00:06:32.960 No, no, no.

00:06:33.560 We're not a one issue party, but abortion is a one party issue. 0.99

00:06:37.380 We have been the candidates standing over the years in defense of the pre-born and we will 0.99

00:06:44.220 continue to do that, but we do have policy.

00:06:46.900 And if anyone thinks that we haven't looked at other issues, that's totally wrong.

00:06:51.720 Your position on abortion, at least the party's position on abortion, is to welcome an abortion 1.00

00:06:58.080 debate that, as you said, ignores the hysterical feminists who have hijacked this issue. 1.00

00:07:03.780 Can you explain your thinking here?

00:07:06.160 What's, for you, an abortion debate and what's it going to look like?

00:07:10.500 And when do you want to see that happening in Canada here and why?

00:07:15.200 Yeah, as soon as possible.

00:07:17.000 We are the only national political party that is ready to reopen that debate.

00:07:22.920 That won't come with the conservative.

00:07:25.260 What I'm saying that, you know, I have a lot of our candidates who are pro-life and I'm okay

00:07:30.560 with that.

00:07:31.420 What I don't like in our country right now is we have late term abortion. 0.99

00:07:36.700 For me, that's a murder.

00:07:37.940 We need to stop that.

00:07:40.080 And we are the only country in the Western world who, that is, that doesn't have any

00:07:46.880 legislation on abortion.

00:07:48.400 That's why you can have a late term abortion. 1.00

00:07:51.300 And it's happening in Canada.

00:07:53.080 A couple of years ago, the Quebec government said 20 women in the U.S. to have a late term 0.95

00:07:59.640 abortion because they were not able to find a doctor here in Quebec to do that.

00:08:05.380 So it's happening in Canada.

00:08:07.020 We need to have a legislation that will stop that.

00:08:09.980 But not only that, not, you know, at the late term, that must be illegal, except with

00:08:16.640 very, very strict exceptions.

00:08:20.440 But that being said, if you look at the European countries, they have legislation on abortion

00:08:25.940 after the first trimester.

00:08:28.240 And that's what I want to promote.

00:08:30.780 At least to have a legislation and in the second trimester to have restriction on abortion.

00:08:37.620 That will put Canada in the civilized country about immigration. 0.96

00:08:43.760 That's something that we must do.

00:08:45.120 And I'm saying to pro-life supporters, we need to win that.

00:08:49.420 And, you know, the big majority of Canadians are OK to have restriction on abortion after

00:08:55.660 the first trimester.

00:08:57.240 So let's do that.

00:08:58.720 Let's have a debate in Parliament about that.

00:09:01.320 That will be a free vote for everybody.

00:09:03.520 And we have a lot of chances for that legislation to be adopted in Parliament.

00:09:09.880 And after that, when we'll have that victory, that will be the end of the late term abortion and 0.99

00:09:17.080 all the murders that are happening in our country.

00:09:19.960 We can have a discussion to, you know, another discussion about abortion to try to have a 0.83

00:09:27.180 legislation that would be more restrictive.

00:09:29.620 But, you know, if we can have that win, having some restriction after the first trimester,

00:09:35.400 that would be a big win.

00:09:36.780 And, you know, we're not afraid to speak about that.

00:09:40.140 The conservatives and polyeth don't want, and their candidates don't have the right 0.99

00:09:45.920 to speak about abortion.

00:09:47.720 Our candidate, I said, it's part of our platform.

00:09:50.260 People can go on our website and read our platform on abortion.

00:09:54.120 People's Party of Canada, let's see two pages there.

00:09:57.860 You know, we are the only party that is having a platform on abortion.

00:10:02.660 So if it's so important for you as a pro-life person, you know, look at our platform.

00:10:08.840 We will debate that until we win the debate.

00:10:12.060 So we will push, you know, these establishment politicians to engage in that debate.

00:10:18.540 But right now, they don't want.

00:10:20.840 The Christian Heritage Party also in its name embraces Canada's formation, Canada's background

00:10:26.680 as a Christian nation.

00:10:27.540 It seems to have departed from our Christian roots.

00:10:32.320 What's your take on what you would do, what the party would do to restore Christianity,

00:10:39.080 to restore Christian culture in Canada?

00:10:41.060 That's really the issue that our society has been pulled away from the basic tenets of Christianity.

00:10:47.460 And, you know, some people are afraid that because we have the word Christian in our name,

00:10:53.060 that we're going to impose some kind of religious structure on non-believers.

00:10:58.220 That's absolutely wrong.

00:11:00.440 But Canada is great because we began on a Christian foundation.

00:11:05.600 And even in 1982, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms under former Premier Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau

00:11:12.480 still included the opening phrase, Canada is founded on principles that recognize the supremacy of God

00:11:18.560 and the rule of law.

00:11:20.600 We have, as you say, departed from those principles.

00:11:23.820 The judges and even politicians have abandoned the respect for our creator,

00:11:30.960 the respect for the one who made us and put us here, made us in his image,

00:11:35.400 and who has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.

00:11:39.220 We think it's important.

00:11:40.400 In fact, that's why that is tied together with our protection of innocent human life.

00:11:47.020 We believe there's a firm foundation in the Bible.

00:11:51.360 God is the creator of life, and he's the designer of human life.

00:11:57.900 He says he's made us in his image.

00:12:00.840 And I think when you try to protect the important things like sanctity of life and so on,

00:12:08.680 if you don't have a foundation to base it on, why would you stay connected to that principle?

00:12:15.760 And I think that's the problem, as some of the parties have decided it's more important to get elected or re-elected

00:12:22.240 than it is to defend innocent human life.

00:12:24.360 Well, that's so contrary to God's nature.

00:12:27.980 We think it's important to tie our obedience to the actual word, where it comes from, the creator and his word.

00:12:34.360 Indeed. One of the things that's happened in Canada is many Catholics, many Christians, 0.71

00:12:39.380 many pro-lifers have been forced out of the medical profession because they're unwilling to be involved in abortion.

00:12:46.960 They're unwilling to be involved in euthanasia.

00:12:50.300 And how would you or your party change that for medical practitioners who are pro-life Catholic and Christian?

00:12:57.720 Actually, they must be able to do what they want in line with their conscience.

00:13:04.120 But, you know, when we are saying that it is, it will be illegal for them, that would be the solution.

00:13:10.220 But, you know, if you're a doctor, you must be able to do what is the best for your patient.

00:13:15.780 And now you have these doctors that are not able, and they are forced.

00:13:22.100 And if they don't do that, they can lose their license.

00:13:25.460 So for us, we will fight that.

00:13:29.240 We need everybody to be able, every doctor to be able to help their patient and not killing babies, actually.

00:13:38.140 It's a very complicated situation in Canada about that.

00:13:43.200 It's complicated because you have the federal government that doesn't have any legislation on abortion.

00:13:49.100 You have all these professional medical organizations that are promoting abortion.

00:13:56.000 That must stop.

00:13:57.320 So that's why we will change the criminal code to be sure that our position will be, you know,

00:14:03.220 if you do an abortion, a late-term abortion, it would be criminal.

00:14:07.300 And, you know, it's the only way to stop that.

00:14:39.680 Thank you for your support, and may God bless you.

00:14:42.360 What was your take on the vaccine mandates, on the lack of freedom, the shutting down of churches?

00:14:50.600 How would your government have acted differently?

00:14:52.900 Well, first of all, we know that we were lied to.

00:14:56.400 The federal government, for whatever reason, and around the world it was much the same,

00:15:02.540 but they sort of followed the United States.

00:15:04.460 It's funny because now they're so anti-American, expressing themselves in such hostile terms,

00:15:09.820 and yet they followed Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum, the WHO, World Health Organization.

00:15:17.720 They followed those things to the point where they denied reality.

00:15:22.640 They denied the truth about the vaccines, which we know now, at least anyone who's been paying attention

00:15:29.840 and reading some of the papers from these wonderful doctors, like Dr. Peter McCullough and many others,

00:15:37.800 that the vaccine was basically harmful, that it did not save lives.

00:15:42.800 It actually harmed people.

00:15:45.840 But the point was, even if they had been right, even if the vaccine had been helpful,

00:15:51.560 to force someone against their will to take a foreign substance into their body is just wrong.

00:15:58.100 We believe in freedom of conscience for every Canadian, and especially for the doctors and nurses.

00:16:05.100 Some doctors were fired or have denied hospital privileges because they refused to participate in this unknown substance.

00:16:14.860 We know a lot more about it now than we did then,

00:16:17.280 but they went out there and they said, safe and effective.

00:16:20.300 If you get this vaccine, you won't get sick.

00:16:22.380 And then people like Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden come down with it multiple times after having multiple vaccinations,

00:16:31.120 and they still stood there with a straight face and said it was effective.

00:16:35.140 And the damage reports coming in now, the deaths, the heart problems that people are having,

00:16:42.600 and the young people that have died after getting the shot is phenomenal.

00:16:47.560 So we certainly think it was wrong for the government to force them, force their opinion on people,

00:16:54.860 to force people to do something they didn't want to do.

00:16:56.960 And we saw it all acted out with the Freedom Convoy, the Truckers Convoy,

00:17:02.460 where peaceful protesters were abused by almost military police force there.

00:17:10.980 And where our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, refused to even meet with them to discuss the issues.

00:17:18.300 I mean, he's going to meet with anybody else that comes to Ottawa to protest,

00:17:22.400 even if they are breaking the law and promoting violence and everything else.

00:17:28.580 But he refused to meet with these peaceful protesters because he was so insistent on forcing his vaccine

00:17:37.080 and his protocols on everybody.

00:17:40.000 The grandmas who maybe gave $25 to support the Freedom Convoy had their bank accounts frozen.

00:17:48.520 And you have people like Tamara Leach and Chris Barber still being dragged through the courts today. 1.00

00:17:54.000 They've been tormented by this law affair, you know, not able to maintain their regular employment and everything else

00:18:01.180 because they're having to sit in the court all this time and being severely abused.

00:18:06.500 And that's really one of the concerns is we see the courts backing up the government on these things.

00:18:12.080 And I don't know how we got to this point.

00:18:16.160 But when the courts become the puppet of the existing government, we are very close to a dictatorship.

00:18:22.500 Now, you were a real hero for our movement during the COVID insanity.

00:18:28.120 You fought the lockdowns.

00:18:29.500 You fought the forced mandates and forced vaccine.

00:18:32.140 You've also spoken out about the whole LGBT insanity in Canada. 1.00

00:18:37.000 Tell us a little bit about your stance on LGBT and how it relates to freedom.

00:18:42.400 To freedom, but also, you know, that ideology, you know, that woke and gender radical ideology, it is destroying our civilization. 0.97

00:18:52.380 It is against Western values and Western civilizations.

00:18:56.500 That's why, you know, I'm saying there's only two sexes. 1.00

00:18:59.680 That's why I'm saying, you know, a young girl cannot become a boy. 1.00

00:19:04.200 There's no transition.

00:19:06.000 That does not exist.

00:19:07.580 And so our position is very different than the one of the conservatives and the liberals and every MP in Ottawa who did vote for the Bill C-4.

00:19:20.260 That's the bill that is promoting mutilation of children.

00:19:24.840 And so if you have a children that is not, you know, suffer for gender dysphoria, you must be able to help your kid to accept their own body.

00:19:36.360 And so it's not the case right now with that bill.

00:19:40.020 You can go in jail for five years by doing that.

00:19:43.000 So, yes, we are proud of our position on that, fighting for families, fighting for common sense and ending all that gender ideology and repealing that Bill C-4.

00:19:55.360 And all the money that the federal government is giving to third party organizations to promote that radical agenda. 0.51

00:20:04.020 So we will stop that.

00:20:05.740 And actually, that's very important because, as you know, in our Constitution, it is written in our Constitution that this country has been built on the supremacy of God and the rule of law.

00:20:17.360 And that's not happening right now.

00:20:19.340 You know, we don't have the rule of law with that woke ideology.

00:20:24.140 And so we need to come back to respect our Constitutions and our values.

00:20:32.160 Indeed.

00:20:32.900 You mentioned God there.

00:20:34.380 Do you believe Canada is still a Christian nation or could be again? 0.73

00:20:38.240 Yeah, that is the foundation of our nation.

00:20:41.620 We believe in the freedom of religious, yes.

00:20:44.340 But, you know, we must promote ideas and values that are in line with our history and our culture.

00:20:51.380 And that is part of our history in our culture.

00:20:54.820 Beautiful.

00:20:55.340 And do you believe yourself that there is a place for God in politics today?

00:21:00.360 Absolutely.

00:21:01.240 You know, for me personally, yes.

00:21:03.440 For other politicians, maybe not.

00:21:06.160 But, you know, I don't want to impose my personal faith on other people.

00:21:13.740 But for me, you know, it's important.

00:21:16.660 I'm a Catholic.

00:21:18.000 And, you know, that's my religion.

00:21:22.060 And I try to fight for what I believe.

00:21:24.840 Tough question for you, Rod.

00:21:26.940 A lot of people right now have seen the demolition of Canada for 10 years under the Liberals, under Trudeau.

00:21:33.380 It was like a wrecking crew.

00:21:35.260 Canada was already in a bad state.

00:21:37.580 But we have just gone from bad to worse to worse to a point where people feel kind of hopeless about Canada.

00:21:43.380 Tons of Canadians thinking, gosh, when Trump announced the 51st state, a lot of people said, really?

00:21:50.360 Hopefully. 1.00

00:21:51.060 Because it's so pathetic. 1.00

00:21:54.020 Really so pathetic. 1.00

00:21:55.940 So what do you say to people who say, look, I love the Christian Heritage Party. 0.99

00:22:02.800 I'm a Christian myself.

00:22:03.700 I want nothing other than Christianity in our land. 1.00

00:22:06.960 But I think if I vote for a CHP candidate or a PVC candidate or any other of the other party candidates, that it's a wasted vote.

00:22:16.700 My vote's not going anywhere.

00:22:17.900 The only really two parties we have are the Conservatives and the Liberals.

00:22:22.220 Is it not a wasted vote?

00:22:23.640 What do we do?

00:22:25.160 Well, we say that the only wasted vote is for a candidate or a party that doesn't represent your deeply held beliefs.

00:22:32.400 Because every Canadian voting age gets that one sacred vote where they can express themselves.

00:22:39.660 And theoretically, if every Canadian actually voted for what they believe, instead of falling into this trap of voting for maybe the lesser of two evils or, you know, someone who they think has a chance to win.

00:22:54.440 And that's how our society has gone downhill the way it has.

00:22:58.660 Because over the years, people keep voting the lesser of two evils in the area of abortion, which I know to your viewers and listeners is a key issue, as it is for us.

00:23:08.440 When only one or two percent of the people vote for a pro-life candidate because they're afraid that their vote's going to be wasted, the other parties look at that result and they say, oh, I guess nobody cares about that issue.

00:23:21.320 Why should I care about it?

00:23:22.920 But if everybody actually voted their convictions, we would get a much different outturn at the end, whether a candidate is actually elected or not.

00:23:33.480 But if we get 10, 15, 20 percent of the vote, that's going to speak to the other parties, the other parties that unfortunately right now are ignoring this elephant in the room.

00:23:45.960 And what we say in general about the abortion issue in politics is as long as we, the people of Canada, continue to tolerate the shedding of innocent blood, we cannot receive God's blessing.

00:23:59.980 God will not bless us for compromising on these critical issues of the protection of innocent human life.

00:24:09.400 Our land, the Bible uses the phrase, is polluted with innocent blood.

00:24:14.060 And, you know, we want God's blessing.

00:24:17.040 We want his blessing on our economy, on our crops, on our weather, on our safety in our streets, on our education system, on our health care system.

00:24:27.340 And while we violate that most basic command, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit murder, we cannot really justly go back to God and say, well, you know, we're violating your commands, but, you know, please bless us anyway.

00:24:41.680 It just doesn't work that way.

00:24:43.000 You've warned about globalist institutions like the UN and the World Health Organization infringing on Canadian rights, the rights of Canadians.

00:24:50.540 How would your party rectify that?

00:24:54.060 We are the only party that is not globalist.

00:24:56.960 We are promoting our country first, Canadian first.

00:25:00.720 And that's not a slogan because we will withdraw from the World Health Organization.

00:25:06.800 We will withdraw from the Paris Accord that is promoting migration. 0.99

00:25:11.900 For us, it must be a privilege to be a Canadian.

00:25:14.720 We will have that moratorium on immigration, a pause on immigration for a couple of years, you know, the time to integrate all these people who came to Canada the last 10 years. 1.00

00:25:26.560 You know, I can speak also about the Paris Accord, like I said.

00:25:30.480 But all, you know, that woke ideology, we will save a lot of money because we won't give money to the UN when the UN is promoting socialism and globalism.

00:25:42.900 So we will save a lot of money there.

00:25:45.160 We will bring the money home, all the money that we are giving to foreign aid to promote woke ideology.

00:25:54.400 We will cut that and we'll be able to save $10 billion.

00:25:58.060 So, yes, what I'm saying that, you know, we are a sovereign country and we don't need these international organizations to tell us what to do or not to do like they did during COVID-19.

00:26:12.580 Rod, thank you so much for joining us.

00:26:14.320 Final thoughts before you leave and anything else to tell us?

00:26:16.480 We have at this point, and this kind of goes back to the question about the so-called vote splitting and so on.

00:26:22.480 We have 32 candidates across the country.

00:26:24.880 We have five in B.C., a bunch in Ontario and a bunch in Alberta and one in Quebec.

00:26:33.760 We wish we had candidates in every district.

00:26:36.720 But one way of looking at it is even if the people in those 32 districts vote for a Christian heritage candidate, it's probably not going to ultimately affect the outcome of this election.

00:26:49.280 Even in my riding or in any of the ridings, if I were to win, any of our candidates were to go to Ottawa as a member of parliament, we would be close supporters of the conservatives on most issues, on the economy, probably on immigration, on various things.

00:27:06.400 But we would hold their feet to the fire, and it deserved to have their feet held to the fire on the issues of abortion, medical assistance in dying, and the protection of children from manipulation in the school system regarding sexuality.

00:27:21.940 All those critical issues, we would stand for life, family, and freedom.

00:27:26.780 And I think the conservatives actually would benefit from having us in there.

00:27:31.800 We had one conservative member of parliament some time ago told me he never minded when the Christian Heritage Party candidate was on the ballot because they would get the tough questions and he would get the votes.

00:27:44.800 Well, we'd like to get the tough questions and the votes.

00:27:47.940 We're prepared to deal with these issues that so many politicians are trying to avoid.

00:27:53.220 And when Canadians wake up and say, I'm sick of seeing our country go downhill, I want actually to see life, family, and freedom promoted, Christian values upheld, and prosperity restored, we'll be a happier people and a happier nation.

00:28:11.420 So thank you for your work at LifeSite and the Interim and all the work, the Campaign Life Coalition, all kind of related organizations.

00:28:20.140 But we appreciate so much that you have faithfully continued in your support for these important issues.

00:28:27.260 And we tip our hat to you, ask you to continue to do that work until we see innocent life protected from conception until natural death.

00:28:36.880 Amen to that.

00:28:37.720 I've seen some of your supporters.

00:28:39.640 They said, I love Maxime Bernier, but I'm going to be voting for the Conservative Party because we can't have another year or another term of the Liberals.

00:28:51.800 It will destroy Canada.

00:28:53.200 How do you respond?

00:28:54.060 Well, you know, I don't think that's my supporters.

00:28:56.600 I think that's people on social media who are saying that, but they're pro-Conservatives.

00:29:01.420 And, you know, for me, the Liberals' party, yes, is driving us at full speed into a wall, but the Conservatives will do the same thing at a different speed.

00:29:13.560 For me, you know, vote for your values on the most important issue, you know, abortion, woke ideology, Bill C4.

00:29:22.780 They are promoting that woke ideology, and we are not.

00:29:27.300 So if you vote for what you believe, I hope that we'll be able to change this country.

00:29:33.240 And what we are looking to do, it's that common sense revolution.

00:29:37.540 You know, ideas are very powerful, and we will be more influential if we have more support.

00:29:44.780 And, you know, that's the beginning of a big revolution.

00:29:47.160 We won't win that in one election, but we will win that revolution for sure, because we are in line with, you know, our constitution, our values, and our history as a country.

00:29:59.600 Be proud of your history, of your culture, and vote in line to support and to save your country.

00:30:06.700 Excellent.

00:30:07.240 Maxime Bernier, thank you so much for joining us here on the John Hennett Weston Show.
