In February 2026, Ontario NDP MPP Doly Begum (Scarborough Southwest) resigned from the provincial legislature in order to accept the Liberal Party of Canada candidacy in the corresponding federal riding of Scarborough Southwest for the by-election necessitated by the resignation of Liberal MP Bill Blair.

Official Liberal Party of Canada policy is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideology. In fact, due to a candidate selection process initiated by Justin Trudeau on May 7, 2014 and continued by Mark Carney today, pro-life Canadians are forbidden from running as Liberal Party candidates.

Similarly, the official Ontario NDP policy is pro-abortion. In addition, the NDP constitution officially recognizes, embraces and establishes a special "committee" devoted to LGBTQ ideology, so Doly Begum's flip from the Ontario NDP to the federal Liberals was ideologically compatible.

Lyall Sanders is a candidate in the April 13, 2026 federal by-election in this riding.

Centrist Party of Canada policy is officially pro-abortion, as cloaked in the following statement from the party's website: "We consider reproductive rights to be a personal decision of women."

Disturbingly, Centrist Party policy on women's issues exclusively uses the word "gender" when referring to the biological state of being a woman. This could be an unintended effect of the propagandized misuse of the word "gender" by Transgender ideologues to replace the proper biological word "sex".

In addition, Centrist Party policy favours a quota system for all parties, under which candidates would be selected based on numerical targets reflecting their sex, rather than on merit.

The Centrist Party also intends to create hate-speech laws to protect people against hate speech, but does not define exactly what hate speech is. This should be a concern for people of faith whose moral principles might fall under someone else's definition of hate speech.
