MHA James (Jim) Dinn
New Democratic Party, St. John’s Centre, NL
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, pro-LGBT ideology
Rating Comments: In 2023, Dinn joined with LGBTQ activists to counter-protest against parents who were demanding the removal of LGBT ideology in schools. The NDP is "officially" a pro-abortion party, as per the Leader's spokesperson. Therefore, it is presumed that all NDP candidates and MHAs must agree to vote in favour of killing preborn children whenever the issue arises. In addition, the party's constitution uses language that affirms LGBT ideology.

Here is James (Jim) Dinn's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Bill 51, an unconstitutional law to establish "no free speech zones" around schools and healthcare facilities This draconian law which violates essential human and charter rights criminalizes peaceful protest on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within a 50 metre radius of every school and healthcare facility in Newfoundland. It was passed into law during the lockdown era of 2022, in an effort to silence criticism of the Covid jab mandates. |
