Respect for Tradition 

Myron Thompson: “I want the whole world to know that I do not condone homosexuals.  I do not condone their activity.  I do not like what they do.  I think it is wrong.  I think it is unnatural and I think it is totally immoral.  I will object to it forever they attack the good traditional Canadian family unit that built the country.” (Hansard, June 15, 1995)   &n bsp;

David Sweet: “men are natural influencers, whether we like it or not.  … Its because Jesus knew women would naturally follow.  Men, on the other hand, had to be called.  (Christian Week November 27 2001)   

Garry Breitkreuz: "In the 1950s, buggery was a criminal offence, now it’s a requirement to receive benefits from the federal government.” (The Leader-Post, March 3, 2000)

Strong Foreign Policy

Mark Inky:  “Foreign nationals without status should not be under the protection of the Canadian charter.” (Hansard, February 26 2001)

“The first time we met I didn’t know his background … I chatted with him a little bit, I think on the Hill here.  And I met him in Toronto, and you know, some of the things he said made a lot of sense.  I think he offered some good suggestions for changing the immigration system.” (National Post, June 18, 2001)

Joe Li: “It looks like we just get all the garbage (immigrants) from Ottawa.”  (Toronto Star, February 6 2002)

Stephen Harper: “west of Winnipeg the ridings the Liberals hold are dominated by people who are either recent Asian immigrants or recent migrants from eastern Canada: people who live in ghettoes and who are not integrated into western Canadian society.”

Tough on Crime

Myron Thompson “said he favored corporal punishment for young offenders. He says that during his years as a school principal in Alberta, he saw remarkable change in behaviour among those who had ‘tasted a piece of wood.’” (Edmonton Sun, March 13, 1995)


Art Hanger: “I suspect flogging straightens up behavior by jolting a criminal into reality … Compare it to our system, which provides no deterrence and is little more than a revolving door … Is corporal punishment extreme?  … I don’t think so.” (Alberta Report, April 1, 1996)   

Vic Toews: – Justice Critic “…Vic Toews says he'd like to go back to the good old days of tossing people into jail for unpaid traffic fines.” A number of years ago it used to be simply (if) you didn't pay the fine you went to jail," said Toews.” (Winnipeg Sun, July 26, 1999)

Gary Caldwell:  “If homosexuality is normal, must we also permit bestiality?” (La Presse, September 9, 1995)

Art Hanger:  “Homosexuality, to anyone who has not been brainwashed by the last decade of effective propagandizing by the gay lobby, is unnatural. It is a repudiation of nature. Nature requires procreation. Morality must defend the continuation of humanity. Rights must protect those things that promote the continuation of our country and of our species. Homosexuality does none of those things. Homosexuality is nihilistic. It protects nothing, it defends nothing, it continues nothing, and it sustains nothing." (Hansard June 1, 1995)

Cindy Silver:  “I happen to believe that homosexuality is wrong.”
