Rating Comments

For the 2025 Ontario provincial election, pro-lifer Mark Dickson is the New Blue Party candidate in the riding of Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke. Previously, in November 2023, Mark was the None Of The Above Party candidate in the Ontario provincial by-election in Kitchener Centre to replace left-wing NDP MPP Laura Mae Lindo, who resigned in July of that year.

-Ending public funding in O.H.I.P. of abortion and related services.
-Ending public funding in O.H.I.P. of euthanasia and related services.

Official NDP policy is pro-abortion. In addition, the NDP constitution officially recognizes, embraces and establishes a special "committee" devoted to LGBTQ ideology.

The Ontario Liberal Pary is officially pro-abortion, as evidenced by an official statement posted on its website following the June 2022 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the pro-abortion Roe v. Wade decision, whereby one of the party's commissions declared that "the people of Ontario should have safe and accessible reproductive health, including abortions."

The Ontario Liberal Party is also an official supporter of LGBT ideology, as evidenced by multiple statements and declarations by the leader and on its website. For instance, in June 2024, Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie released a statement honoring and celebrating the "contributions" of so-called 2SLGBTQIA+ Ontarians. She emphasized the importance of recognizing the history of Pride as a protest movement. Crombie stated, "Love is love, not just during Pride but every day of the year." These statements reflect the Ontario Liberal Party's ongoing support for LGBT ideology.

Based on official party policy statement issued June 11, 2014 declaring support for abortion and forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for elective abortions. This written policy was emailed to CLC by the Green Party of Ontario’s Policy Coordinator, Jessica Higgins. It's also notable that the Green party leader is a fierce opponent of Catholic moral teaching in Catholic schools and strongly supports the homosexual pride parade, an event which breaks the law each year by featuring naked men and mock sex acts through the streets of Toronto.
