"The most important issue has two sides to it: care for creation and care for the most vulnerable. The two are interconnected in that the most vulnerable suffer the most from abuse of the environment. This emphasis flows from Christ's example plus the prophetic mandate to care for orphan, sojourner and widow. " -Mark Parent, MLA, Nova Scotia
"The most important issue of this election is judges making laws. All freedoms are jeopardized when appointed, unaccountable individuals arbitrarily write the laws of the land. … Judges across the country are now making new laws every year, changing the foundational fabric of the nation." -Charles McVety, president, Canada Christian College
"What could be more important than the right to life itself, protecting our precious little ones and sparing their families the devastation of abortion?" -Marlene Tersigni, St. Catharines Right to Life
