Candidate, Blaine Hyggen
Lethbridge, AB
Bio
CLC rating: Supportable
Rating Comments: When serving as a City Councillor, Blained Hyggen courageously voted on February 10, 2020 against a draconian Motion to draft a by-law that would ban what is being disingenuously labelled "conversion therapy", throughout the City of Lethbridge. In reality, "conversion therapy" is just traditional talk therapy as professionally practiced by licensed psychologists to help same-sex attracted or gender-confused patients who VOLUNTARILY come to them seeking help to recover their heterosexual potential, or to overcome sexual confusion. This propaganda term of "conversion therapy" also ensnares pastoral guidance to help those with UNWANTED same-sex attraction to live chastely in accordance with their faith. Such a totalitarian ban would effectively prevent people with unwanted homoerotic fixations and transgender delusions from receiving the therapeutic help they're seeking to overcome their unwanted condition.
On July 13, 2020, Lethbridge Council passed their anti-freedom by-law banning talk therapy and spiritual counselling, after shockingly voting against Councillor Hyggen's principled Motion to hear public consultations on the by-law. Such muzzling of public input by Council contradicts its own procedural guidelines... and democracy.
Also to his credit, Councillor Hyggen voted in favour of an amendment to the preamble of the by-law that acknowledges "freedom of conscience and religion" as being guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Blaine Hyggen on Sept. 11, 2025.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions. 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? | no response |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | no response |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | no response |
| 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? | no response |
