Candidate, Linda Larson
Liberal Party, Boundary-Similkameen, BC
Bio
CLC rating: Unknown
Rating Comments: Re-elected in the 2017 BC provincial election. Linda did not respond to CLC's 2013 questionnaire so her position on abortion is unknown. However, as a former Mayor she took a strong pro-family stand in refusing to proclaim a "Lesbian & Gay Pride Week" in her town of Oliver in 2000. She was even dragged to a human rights tribunal with a harassment suit by radical gay-activists. Larson promised to "fight to the bitter end" to defend her constitutional rights.

| Marched in, or endorsed, a Gay Pride Parade Gay Pride festivals are controversial, often feature mock sex acts in public and are offensive to many, perhaps most, Canadians. As such it is inaprropriate for an elected representative to endorse one side of this socially divisive issue. Elected officials are supposed to represent ALL their consituents, not just the politically correct ones. |
Strongly opposed proclaiming Gay Pride Week |  |
| Bill 27 - 3rd reading of an Act to amend the BC Human Rights Code to add the LGBT-invented phrase "gender identity or expression" as a prohibited ground of discrimination. This totalitarian Bill, introduced by BC Liberal Justice Minister Suzanne Anton, legally invents a new breed of humans out of those suffering from Gender Identity Disorder. The new law threatens to punish people who refuse to recognize or affirm transsexual delusions and alter-egos, considering such refusal to be a violation of "human rights".

Here are quotes from Linda Larson on various life and family issues:
Larson refused to be bullied by radical gay-activists, who used the threat of harassement lawsuits through the Human Rights Tribunal, to force small towns across B.C. to proclaim a Lesbian & Gay Pride Week: "I refused and stayed on record of not being willing to compromise. I think people are sometimes scared and intimidated into making decisions, and I don't don't think that's right…."It's been awful. It's been really, really hard not knowing what power som [Oliver Chronicle, 'Mayor opposes town's Gay Pride Week stance', Nov. 12, 1999]
