Candidate, Claris Voyageur
Wood Buffalo (Fort McMurray), AB
Electoral District: Ward 2 (Fort McKay, Fort Chipewyan, Fort Fitzgerald)
Bio
CLC rating: unknown
Rating Comments: On January 14, 2020, Wood Buffalo Regional Municipal Council voted to pass a reckless and draconain by-law that bans all forms of counseling that radical LGBT activists disingenuously define as "conversion therapy". The ban is likely to apply to all corporations, churches and non-profit associations within the Wood Buffalo Regional Municipality (including Fort McMurray). This totalitarian ban now makes it illegal for people who experience unwanted gender identity confusion or same-sex attraction from being able to procure either clinical psychotherapy or spirtual counseling to overcome their unwanted condition or to leave the transsexual/gay lifestyle.
However, Councillor Yoyageur was absent or abstained from this vote, as was the case when the Motion to draft the pro-LGBT by-law was passed on October 22, 2019.

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Claris Voyageur on Sept. 24, 2025.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions, and increasingly, are involved in dispensing the chemical abortion pill. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and similar “sexual health agencies" should not receive taxpayer funds through the municipality? | survey not sent |
| There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw, if it were ever proposed? | survey not sent |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | survey not sent |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | survey not sent |
