Candidate, Tim O'Brien
Halton Catholic District School Board, ON
Electoral District: Burlington Wards 1 & 2
Bio
CLC rating: Supportable
Rating Comments: On January 18, 2022, Trustee Tim O'Brien courageously voted against a disgraceful motion to fly the so-called "gay-pride" flag - that notorious symbol celebrating homoerotic fetishism (and genital mutilation in the case of transgenderism) - outside every single school in the Halton Catholic District School Board for the entire month of June, which LGBT radicals have dubbed "pride-month".
In September 2021, he rightly voted to re-instate the Lord's Prayer in the morning exercises at HCDSB schools.
Tim gave perfect answers to CLC's 2014 questionnaire.

Here is Tim O'Brien's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Motion to fly the Gay Pride flag at every Catholic school in the board In total opposition to Catholic doctrine, this motion sought to ensure that the Gay Pride flag would be flown at every single Catholic school in the board. |
No |  |
| Motion to cancel a fellow Trustee for being faithful to Catholic teaching This motion's intent was to weaponize the Board's Code of Conduct in a grossly anti-democratic fashion, for the purpose of silencing and punishing a fellow school board trustee for simply having defended the Catholic faith and for having dared to oppose anti-Christian secular ideology which was infiltrating the Catholic school board. In addition to undermining the very purpose of Catholic education, a vote in favor of this motion is doubly wrong because it effectively overturns the result of a democratic election in which Catholic ratepayers elected the persecuted trustee for the very purpose of vocally representing their values. |
Opposed | |
| Opposing the Euthanasia Bill C-7 (Motion to express opposition to the expansion of euthanasia in Canada) This Motion, brought forward by stalwart Catholic Trustee Helena Karabela, would direct the Halton Catholic District School Baord to issue a letter to the Senate of Canada urging that body to oppose the Trudeau Liberals' insideous euthanasia expansion Bill C-7. Sadly, Trustee Karabela's principled Motion was defeated, narrowly, by a vote of 5 opposed to 4 in favour on February 16, 2021. |
Supported | |
| Motion to ban fundraising for charities and non-profit organizations that support abortion, euthanasia, or embryonic stem cell research This Motion, made by faithful Catholic Trustee Helena Karabela, sought to ensure that the Halton Catholic District School Baord's fundraising efforts would not be directed to organizations (including registered charities, non-profits, and their subsidiaries, affiliates, and associates) that support or promote abortion, euthanasia, or human embryonic stem cell research). Appallingly, Trustee Karabela's principled Motion was defeated, losing narrowly by a vote of 4 opposed to 3 in favour on February 15, 2022. |
Supported | |
| Motion to re-introduce the “Our Father” prayer at the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) This truly Catholic Motion, introduced by faithful HCDSB Trustee Helena Karabela, sought to re-introduce the “Our Father” prayer into the opening exercises at all Halton Catholic schools. The Motion passed on September 21, 2021 by the razor-thin margin of 5 in favour and 4 against – a shameful and outrageous display of contempt by several Catholic trustees for the very words of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in His prayer to His Father in Heaven. |

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Tim O'Brien on September 23, 2014.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Will you personally uphold and work toward the public promotion of total fidelity to the faith and moral teachings of the Catholic Church? (Current examples include the illicitness of abortion, contraception and homosexual practice) | Yes |
| Will you work to ensure that Catholic schools do not invite guest speakers who have publicly expressed positions that contradict the morality and teaching of the Church, no matter how great their achievements in politics, business, sports, science or the arts? | Yes |
| Will you work to ensure that educational materials that enter the premises of Catholic schools (e.g., library resources, curriculum texts, awareness campaigns, flyers) and all approved school activities are consistent with and do not undermine the morality and teachings of the Church? | Yes |
| Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) is an infection that is transmitted through sex. Will you therefore oppose HPV vaccination in schools because it sends the message to students, teachers and parents that obedience to Church teaching on abstinence before marriage is neither expected nor necessary? | Yes |
| Will you actively promote and defend the teaching of Catholic doctrine, the importance of prayer and a regular sacramental life? | Yes |
| Will you work against any attempt to expand the sex-ed program in the Catholic Schools which is contrary to Church teaching, such as the one which included oral sex, masturbation and homosexuality, recently offered by the Ministry? | Yes |
| Will you work to ensure that your Catholic school board enacts a policy requiring all agents and employees of the board to uphold the rights of custodial parents to direct and control the education of, and any medical treatment provided to, their dependent children attending its schools? | Yes |
| 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 but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion) | No |
