Grant Abraham is a candidate in the August 2025 federal by-election in the riding of Battle River - Crowfoot.

Grant was an openly pro-life contestant in the 2022 Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) Leadership Election, but was disqualified on a questionable technicality before the leadership vote could take place. In response to this action of the CPC, Grant decided to form a new party that would be truly conservative, including on social issues, and he subsequently ran in the federal riding of Durham (Ontario) in a by-election on March 4, 2024 as the United Party of Canada's first official candidate.

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is a candidate in the August 2025 federal by-election in the riding of Battle River - Crowfoot, after having lost his own seat as the MP for the riding of Carleton in the April 2025 federal general election.

In the 2022 leadership debates, Poilievre flatly stated that he is "pro-choice" and "pro-choix" on abortion, in both official langauges.

In June 2021, MP Pierre Poilievre voted against pro-life Bill C-233, introduced by Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, to outlaw the horrific practice of sex-selective abortion, in which unborn babies are killed for no other reason than their sex. In the same month, this MP disgracefully revealed himself to be an enemy of parental rights, and science, by voting to pass Bill C-6, legislation that will jail parents for up to 5 years if they dare to affirm their gender-confused child in their biological sex.

Poilievre used to be known as a solid pro-life, pro-family MP. However, he abandoned these fundamental principles when in January 2020, he expressed to La Presse in an interview, his full throated disagreement with the natural definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman -- despite the fact that he had previously said "It is an honour to rise today in support of the traditional definition of marriage…" as recorded in the Debate hansard of April 19, 2005.

Poilievre also gave the impression to the La Presse reporter that if elected Leader of the Conservative Party, he would allow backbench MPs to bring forward pro-life private members bills, but, disgracefully, he would also ensure the defeat of any such pro-life private member' bill or motion.

In a subsequent interview with the Toronto Star, a Poilievre spokesperson clarified that Pierre would allow MPs to vote their conscience on abortion-related private members bills, but that they would not be "adopted" by his government, and that he would personally vote against any such bills.

CLC's candidate rating standards hold that any politician who votes against pro-life initiatives is pro-abortion, no matter what they claim to be in their interior "personal belief".

Poilievre identifies as a Catholic, but in abandoning his support for natural marriage and the sanctity of life, Poilievre has placed himself outside the moral boundaries of the Church.

Katherine Swampy is a candidate in the August 2025 federal by-election in the riding of Battle River - Crowfoot.

According to a post appearing on her campaign's social media page (https://www.reddit.com/r/ndp/comments/1lux47e/katherine_swampy_for_battle_rivercrowfoot/), Ms. Swampy is described as being "a fierce advocate for women’s rights, MMIWG, Indigenous Peoples, the environment, and 2SLGBTQ+ rights." For NDP candidates, phrases like "women's rights" and "2SLGBTQ+ rights" are code language for the aggressive imposition of abortion-on-demand of unborn babies and the sexual mutilation of so-called "transgender" children.

Bonnie Critchley is a candidate in the August 2025 federal by-election in the riding of Battle River - Crowfoot.

According to her campaign website, Ms. Critchley "does not believe the government has any place in regulating how people manage their own bodies, their health, or their personal choices. This includes reproductive rights, gender identity, and how individuals choose to present themselves." This indicates that she would do nothing to protect unborn babies from being killed by abortion, or impressionable children from sexual mutilation under the current regime of transgender ideology.
