Candidate, Joel Bernard
Conservative Party | Gatineau, QC
CLC rating: Educable
Light Rating
Rating Comments: During the 2019 federal election cycle, Joel identified himself as "pro-life". He has many pro-life beliefs, but unfortunately, holds an exception for the alleged "hard cases" of rape and incest which he believes are legitimate reasons for legalizing the choice to have an abortionist kill a baby in the mother's womb. On issues of family values and parental rights, Joel is also generally very good.
Percentage in last election: 17.40% (2019)
