Here are quotes from Brendan Maguire on various life and family issues:
Arrogantly insisting that parents have no rights in relation to their children: "I'll be damned if I'm going to stand here and listen to someone say that the parents deserve rights over their children. No they don't. They absolutely don't." [Nova Scotia Legislative session, April 8, 2026.]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Brendan Maguire on Nov. 19, 2024.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | No response |
| 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 but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion. e.g. in cases of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) | No response |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in Nova Scotia? | No response |
| Do you agree women have the right to be thoroughly informed about the serious health consequences of abortion, the development of the child in the womb and the alternatives to abortion? | No response |
| Will you protect the rights of parents to educate their children according to their faith in matters of moral principles and beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? | No response |
| Will you support legislation to protect the right of health care workers who refuse to participate in procedures which are in violation of their religious or conscientious beliefs? | No response |
| Will you oppose euthanasia and instead support measures to promote “palliative care”, the purpose of which is to alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life for terminally ill patients and those with disabilities? *Euthanasia is the direct and intentional killing of a person by action or omission, with or without that person’s consent, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons. | No response |

GREEN light means the person supports CLC principles and is rated as SUPPORTABLE -
RED light means the person is NOT SUPPORTABLE -
AMBER light means voters should be cautious about the candidate. CLC is still evaluating this individual, does not have enough data, or their record is mixed. View their quotes & voting history to help you decide.
In a rambling and incoherent display of contempt for the hundreds of thousands of parents in Nova Scotia, Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development, Brendan Maguire, heaps condemnation upon the rights of parents to direct the upbringing of their own children - unless they agree with Maguire's ideological biases.
