Rod Taylor | Your CHP Canada candidate for Skeena-Bulkley Valley

Response to Election Results

On May 2, incumbent Nathan Cullen was returned to office with about 55% of the vote in Skeena-Bulkley Valley. Representing CHP Canada, the only pro-life federal party, I received approximately 3% of the vote. While we anticipated a much higher response to our message of protection for life, family and freedom, we accept that the citizens of this area have again elected an MP who supports abortion on demand, extra rights for sexually-confused persons and a socialistic approach to finances. We have four years ahead to build our party and raise awareness of these issues. Nobody promised us that social change would be easy.

I want to thank all of our supporters, workers, contributors for their help during the campaign. Your sacrifices of time and money and your friendship and encouragement mean a lot to Elaine and me.

I want to thank every person who voted for me and for the principles represented by the CHP: defence of innocent human life, traditional marriage, personal freedom and responsible fiscal management of the affairs of Canada. Your vote was not wasted. On the contrary, your vote for the CHP demonstrated the value you place on the sanctity of human life and your commitment to the principles of justice and righteousness.

I want to thank the Northern media for faithfully reporting on our campaign, to the local chambers, high school and college staff for arranging venues for all-candidates forums and for the people of this riding for caring enough about the issues to attend the forums and for voting.

I hope everyone in this riding will continue to work together and pray for our elected representatives to enact policies that honour our Creator and that respect the value and dignity of every human life.

The disease can be picked up at local coffee shops or by spending extended periods in front of the TV. In full-blown cases, voters believe they must sacrifice their convictions and vote only for those parties already receiving large amounts of taxpayer funding and media exposure. Canadians deserve to be warned about deceptive advertising claims (now proven false) promising fiscal restraint, protection of the innocent, etc. They also should be warned about the possible side-effects of strategic voting—like oppressive party discipline, endless compromise and misleading rhetoric. …
