Councillor Peter Demong
Calgary, AB
Electoral District: Ward 14
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-lgbt ideology; not supportable on abortion
Rating Comments: In May 2023, Calgary City Council (including Councillor Demong) voted 14 to 0 in favour of a Motion to censor the images of abortion's victims by forcing them to be concealed in envelopes prior to distribution, thus significantly impeding the efficacy of these pro-life educational materials.
On May 25, 2020, Councillor Demong voted to pass a tyrannical ban on so-called "conversion therapy", thereby robbing Calgarians of their human right to freely seek therapy and council to overcome unwanted homoerotic and transsexualist fixations.
Previously, on February 3, 2020, Demong joined the rest of the Calgary City Councillors to unanimously pass a motion to draft the bylaw banning this beneficial and effective practice within the city boundaries. The bylaw will ban psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists, priests and pastors from providing counselling support to patients who request assistance with unwanted same-sex attraction and gender identity confusion. It will also inevitably lead to the de-facto criminalization of key Christian teachings on human sexuality, predictably including public prayer and evangelization to call homosexuals out of a sinful lifestyle.

| Anti-free speech School Bubble Zones - Motion to amend an existing bylaw so as to banish advocacy near schools Council vote to gag advocacy groups - including pro-lifers - by banishing them from the vicinity of school property, reducing the allowable size of signage to absurdly small dimensions, and imposing punishing fines for breaching the no-free-speech Bubble Zones. |

| Motion: Regulating the Unsolicited Distribution of Graphic Images Depicting a Fetus Calgary City Council vote to censor the images of abortion's victims by forcing them to be concealed in envelopes bearing warning labels and the name of the pro-life advocacy group, all of which will add significantly to the cost and time involved in producing these pro-life educational materials. Each breach of these arbitrary strictures carries a $1,000 fine. This Motion will curtail and suppress the capacity of pro-life groups to freely inform the public about the atrocity of abortion and motivate people of good will to put an end to the abortion holocaust. Sadly, this free-speech-stifling Motion passed by a vote of 14 to 0 on May 9, 2023. |
