Below are the key criteria considered by CLC in rating Chris Alexander with an "F" score for the Conservative Party Leadership race.
CRITERIA | ASSESSMENT | Score |
---|---|---|
Stance on abortion |
Alexander never completed CLC's election questionnaire. During his short career in parliament he had only one opportunity to vote on pro-life bills, and voted badly. He voted against Stephen Woodworth's Motion 312 which sought to study when a child in the womb becomes a human being.

Stance on euthanasia |
Unknown

-- |
Willing to re-open abortion debate? |
No (Note: In the absence of a campaign pledge saying he would reopen the abortion debate, one must assume the candidate has no intention of doing so). |
|
Willing to enact government legislation to protect unborn children? |
No (Note: In the absence of a campaign pledge to bring forward pro-life government legislation, and in light of his past voting record, one must assume the candidate has no intention of doing so) |
|
How he voted on radical bill to invent fake new rights to "gender identity" and "gender expression" |
In favour (Alexander voted for the NDP's "bathroom bill" C-279, on second and third reading. The bill aimed to grant biological males the legal right to access girls bathrooms, changerooms and showers. It also presented a grave threat to free speech.) |
|
Has he pledged to repeal gender identity bill if becomes Prime Minister? |
No (Note: In the absence of a campaign pledge to repeal the Liberal government's legislation and in light of his support for gender identity theory, one must assume the candidate has no intention of repealing.) |
|
Marched in Gay Pride Parade? |
Yes (According to a CTV interview during the campaign trail) |
|
Other notable factors |
Alexander has avoided social conservative issues during the campaign trail. In 2013, he was one of only 17 Conservative-majority MPs who broke ranks with Prime Minister Stephen Harper's principled stand against the NDP's transsexual "Bathroom Bill", by voting in favour of Bill C-279. Alexander helped it to pass third reading, thus granting this harmful, anti-scientific ideology greater respect and credibility amongst other MPs and Senators. Today, a Liberal government version of the same bill is on the verge of becoming federal law.
