It’s principles and. morals —
for Christian Heritage Party |

By REBECCA ROBERTS

THE CHRISTIAN Heritage Party has never won-a.seat -
in. Parliament, but «that: doesn’t. ‘deter Skeena-Bulkley
Valley candidate Rod Taylor. He's tunning ‘to win.
-” “But of -course . there will only be one. Candidate from: 7
this riding going to Ottawa,” he. adds. “And I'm tunning.
to express the Christian point-of, view. that .the: Creator

has great things: for this country and the' riding,”

Taylor says he’s concerned:about the decline:i in; : moral!
values in:Canada: ‘and his:concern has: propelled... Ahim.to
take action. He ‘says ‘the Conservative party does not go
- far, enough in its social policy. :

~ Conservative: Jeader Stephen Hatper has: made. it clear’.
over this campaign. that “the Conservatives: do not: have“:
plans to make: policy’ changes this“ term in Tegards- to-

abortion and samé-sex marriage, Taylor. says.

By removing his ‘patty. from. a debate about: morals,
Harper seems to be. trying. to. ‘appeal to ay broader: spec: :

trum of Canadian: ‘society.

But. Taylor is: ‘unapologetic: about ‘subscribing. toa...
Christian: notion. of morality. He, says: Canadians want. a

government ‘concerned with moral issues.

“L think it's néyer wrong to be concerned. about-n mor:
als. I think the recent ‘debacle in ‘Ottawa regarding the ad -
scam: and ‘other issues: indicate’ that Canadians are con- >
‘cerned about. morals; They. want integrity: in. ‘politicians. .
They want to know that they. can, 1 trust the people i in n Ot: a

tawa.”

Taylor’ s vision | for ‘the: riding i is: imiiltifaceted. ‘Some of :
his. policy: ideas: are simple’ —‘he. is agairist the. ‘distribu:

‘tion. of ‘condoms. dn schools, he. is -against: same-sex

unions, and his party: supports ‘a, tax break’ for families.”
- who decide. to have one parent stay: ‘home. to. look” after,

the children.

But Taylor. is: also. ‘concemed: about complex jasues™

like the labelling ‘of: genetically | modifi ed foods,. and. the
responsible use of natural resources: :

‘This is ‘Taylor's first:timie’ ranning for the. CHP. but i in,
the last provincial. election he ran in. the: tiding‘of Bulk-
key Valley riding for the ‘British: Columbia Unity Party, --

‘which is an organization that, shares: features with lhe :.
CHP, says Taylor.’ :
He notes that ‘they. are the ‘only’ pariies: ‘available to wo
“British Columbians that honour the principle’ in thé: cone
stitution. that Canada .is. founded’ on’ the’ Ptinciples that
recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of the-law. °°
Taylor was. born: in Minneapolis,. ‘Minnesota, and’,

moved to. ‘Canada‘i ‘in 1968. His. parents, Walt and: Peggy 3:

‘but: ‘he’ 8 -gently ctitical., “The: New: Democrats .

“though. they've never. formed government, I disagree. with -
their--position ‘on: ‘social. issues forthe most part but I:
have: nothing bad to say about thelr: leader. ‘Mr. Layton i is.
a man, of energy.”

~ When it; comes -to. Harper, ‘Taylor. has: ‘this to say:
“Stephen Harper, of coursé," is .a-.man ‘of ° energy “and |

-grity to, ‘Parliament. I just think ‘he’s: -Missing a huge op-
