Bio

Brian Pallister
Not Supportable
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, anti-traditional marriage
Rating Comments: In 2013, MLA Pallister vigorously opposed the NDP's dangerous Bill 18 which attacked parental rights, family values and religious freedom. He also opposed a draconian censorship law that had been proposed by the NDP in order to take away the constitutional right to freedom of expression from pro-life Manitobans. In 2008, as a federal MP, Mr. Pallister responded to a CLC survey by expressing his disagreement with the Order of Canada being conferred on notorious abortionist Henry Morgentaler for the mass-murder of preborn children. Unfortunately, in the 2016 election cycle, Mr. Pallister stated that he supports legal abortion, and suggested that he no longer supports the natural and historic definition of marriage.

In September 2021, Pallister stepped down from his role as Premier and, shortly afterward, vacated his MLA's seat just weeks prior to a Leadership election to replace him as head of the Manitoba PC Party by the end of October 2021.

Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision Vote Score
Not Supportable
Bill 18, 3rd reading, which radically sexualized the school curriculum and forced all Catholic & Public schools to accept homosexual-activist clubs
Officially called The Public Schools Amendment Act, this bill which became law, forced all public and faith-based schools, regardless of community or religious sensitivities, to accept student gay pride clubs known as GSAs. The law also served to inject the radical sexual theory of "gender identy" into school curriculum, which even children at the earliest grades will consequently be exposed to. The radical "gender identity" theory is the disputed notion that a child’s gender is not necessarily connected to their physical anatomy and that it’s perfectly normal for little boys to think they’re little girls, and vice-versa, if they merely "feel" that way in their minds. All this was done under the deceptive ruse that these changes were necessary to reduce bullying and punish bullies. The true intent of this bill was to promote a new sexual revolution, to embed anti-Christian prejudice into the school environment, and to label all people of faith who adhere to traditional biblical norms of human sexuality as if they were "hateful" or "bigoted". Unfortunately, this bill was passed on September 13, 2013 by a vote of 36 to 16, despite widespread opposition by parents and people of faith.
Opposed ok
Bill 200, 2nd reading, to establish NO FREE SPEECH ZONES on public property
This draconian private members bill by MLA Nahanni Fontaine (NDP) sought to outlaw peaceful, pro-life expression on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within a radious of up to 150 metres around all of Manitoba's abortion facilities. Fortunately, this unconstitutional and totalitarian bill was defeated by a vote of 11 Yeas to 32 Nays on Dec. 6, 2018.
Opposed ok

Here are quotes from Brian Pallister on various life and family issues:

Pallister took a principled stand against the NDP's radically sexualized Bill 18 which mandated gay pride clubs in all schools under the guise of bullying prevention, by pointing out that by including "hurt feelings" as a basis for judging someone to be guilty of bullying, teachers and school staff could be charged with "bullying" for simply carrying out their duties, and it could initiate a false accusation against teachers and other students, in revenge:  "This bill is dangerous, if not amended, because what it may well do is exacerbate the already real circumstance within our schools that bullies will...lash back at a teacher, staff member, another student, and they will make accusations as a way of defending themselves.... With the definition of bullying being so broad it might exacerbate that already existing problem." [Winnipeg Sun, 'Teachers a target in Bill 18: Pallister', August 30, 2013]

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Brian Pallister on 2019.

Question Response
Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? no response
Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion?
[Note: A surgical or medical intervention, designed to prevent the death of the mother (e.g. In the case of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion.]
no response
Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers’ money in Manitoba? no response
Do you agree women have the right to be thoroughly informed about the serious health consequences of abortion, the development of their child in the womb and the alternatives to abortion? no response
Will you protect the rights of parents to educate their children according to their faith in matters of moral principles and beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? no response
Will you oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide, and instead, support measures to promote “palliative care”, the purpose of which is to alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life for terminally ill patients and those with disabilities? [Note: Euthanasia is the direct and intentional killing of a person by action or omission, with or without that person’s consent, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons.] no response
