Maxime Bernier and Rod Taylor join me on the John Henry Weston Show to talk about the upcoming federal election and why they are the only two major parties in Canada with a chance to win in the upcoming election.
00:19:07.580And 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.
00:19:20.260That's the bill that is promoting mutilation of children.
00:19:24.840And 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.
00:19:36.360And so it's not the case right now with that bill.
00:19:40.020You can go in jail for five years by doing that.
00:19:43.000So, 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.
00:19:55.360And all the money that the federal government is giving to third party organizations to promote that radical agenda.
00:20:05.740And 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.
00:22:25.160Well, we say that the only wasted vote is for a candidate or a party that doesn't represent your deeply held beliefs.
00:22:32.400Because every Canadian voting age gets that one sacred vote where they can express themselves.
00:22:39.660And 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.
00:22:54.440And that's how our society has gone downhill the way it has.
00:22:58.660Because 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.
00:23:08.440When 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.
00:23:22.920But if everybody actually voted their convictions, we would get a much different outturn at the end, whether a candidate is actually elected or not.
00:23:33.480But 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.
00:23:45.960And 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.
00:23:59.980God will not bless us for compromising on these critical issues of the protection of innocent human life.
00:24:09.400Our land, the Bible uses the phrase, is polluted with innocent blood.
00:24:14.060And, you know, we want God's blessing.
00:24:17.040We 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.
00:24:27.340And 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.
00:24:43.000You've warned about globalist institutions like the UN and the World Health Organization infringing on Canadian rights, the rights of Canadians.
00:24:54.060We are the only party that is not globalist.
00:24:56.960We are promoting our country first, Canadian first.
00:25:00.720And that's not a slogan because we will withdraw from the World Health Organization.
00:25:06.800We will withdraw from the Paris Accord that is promoting migration.
00:25:11.900For us, it must be a privilege to be a Canadian.
00:25:14.720We 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.
00:25:26.560You know, I can speak also about the Paris Accord, like I said.
00:25:30.480But 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.
00:25:45.160We will bring the money home, all the money that we are giving to foreign aid to promote woke ideology.
00:25:54.400We will cut that and we'll be able to save $10 billion.
00:25:58.060So, 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.
00:26:12.580Rod, thank you so much for joining us.
00:26:14.320Final thoughts before you leave and anything else to tell us?
00:26:16.480We have at this point, and this kind of goes back to the question about the so-called vote splitting and so on.
00:26:22.480We have 32 candidates across the country.
00:26:24.880We have five in B.C., a bunch in Ontario and a bunch in Alberta and one in Quebec.
00:26:33.760We wish we had candidates in every district.
00:26:36.720But 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.
00:26:49.280Even 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.
00:27:06.400But 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.
00:27:21.940All those critical issues, we would stand for life, family, and freedom.
00:27:26.780And I think the conservatives actually would benefit from having us in there.
00:27:31.800We 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.
00:27:44.800Well, we'd like to get the tough questions and the votes.
00:27:47.940We're prepared to deal with these issues that so many politicians are trying to avoid.
00:27:53.220And 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.
00:28:11.420So thank you for your work at LifeSite and the Interim and all the work, the Campaign Life Coalition, all kind of related organizations.
00:28:20.140But we appreciate so much that you have faithfully continued in your support for these important issues.
00:28:27.260And 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.
00:28:39.640They 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.
00:28:54.060Well, you know, I don't think that's my supporters.
00:28:56.600I think that's people on social media who are saying that, but they're pro-Conservatives.
00:29:01.420And, 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.
00:29:13.560For me, you know, vote for your values on the most important issue, you know, abortion, woke ideology, Bill C4.
00:29:22.780They are promoting that woke ideology, and we are not.
00:29:27.300So if you vote for what you believe, I hope that we'll be able to change this country.
00:29:33.240And what we are looking to do, it's that common sense revolution.
00:29:37.540You know, ideas are very powerful, and we will be more influential if we have more support.
00:29:44.780And, you know, that's the beginning of a big revolution.
00:29:47.160We 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.
00:29:59.600Be proud of your history, of your culture, and vote in line to support and to save your country.
00:30:20.080And if, you know, they want to know more about the People's Party, they can go on our website, peoplespartyofcanada.ca, and read our platform on wokeism, against wokeism, abortion, and all that.
