Side-by-Side Candidate Comparison in the Riding of Carleton

Rating Comments

In his response to CLC's inquiry, Mr. Crawley rightly indicated that he opposes abortion, but also said that he can imagine scenarios in which medical killing via euthanasia could be considered "humane" and reflective of "the value of human life".

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.

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.

Official policy is pro-abortion and anti-traditional marriage. In fact, Trudeau's new candidate selection process, instituted May 7, 2014, forbids any pro-life Canadians from running as Liberal Party candidates. The only way they would be allowed to run, is if they promise to vote in favour of abortion whenever such legislation comes up.
