Christian Heritage Party

The Christian Heritage Party claims to be Canada's only "pro-Life, pro-family" federal political party. Though I am a bit confused why a nominally Christian political party claiming to represent Canadian Christians would also claim to espouse "Judeo-Christian principles". I would have thought being Jewish and being Christian were two theologically opposed worldviews; unless Jews are somehow meant to agree that Christianity is Judaism-plus or unless accepting Christ as the Saviour is only a sidepoint of your Christianity (or Judeo-Christianity, rather). Not to worry: the CHP says it is not trying to impose Christianity on people of other faiths.

Absolutely not! We're politicians, not evangelists. Our purpose is to place ourselves under the authority and guidance of the principles of the Gospel - principles like justice, honesty, compassion, diligence, thrift and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

Unless, of course, your faith or your "secular" worldview are pro-choice, pro-same-sex marriage, pro-right to strike or if you understand the judiciary is Constitutionally mandated to interpret the law rather than impose the CHP notion of what the law should be. In which case you would be SOL; and that's the Gospel truth.
