Platform
The Christian Heritage Party seeks to avoid a narrow platform, but rather implements the policy that "civil government is to ensure freedom and justice for a nation's citizens by upholding law and order in accordance with Biblical principles."
Some of the key goals and principles of the CHP are:
- Have the Bank of Canada, rather than Canadian citizens, pay to overhaul the economy and the infrastructure of Canada
- Eliminate income tax, and replace it with a "fair tax"
- Treat the national debt "like a mortgage"
- Having non-violent criminals pay restitution out of jail, and having dangerous offenders remain in prison until their behaviour indicates that they are no longer dangerous to society
- Definition of marriage as between one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others
- Protection of free speech
- Legislation for property rights
- Reduce waiting times for hospitals by putting cosmetic surgeries at the back of the line
- Defund abortion and make it illegal, push for adoption as a substitute
- Promoting domestic population growth, rather than immigration
- Reinstating capital punishment in Canada
- Resisting the implementation of Sharia law within Canada

Famous quotes containing the word platform:
“I have never yet spoken from a public platform about women in industry that someone has not said, “But things are far better than they used to be.” I confess to impatience with persons who are satisfied with a dangerously slow tempo of progress for half of society in an age which requires a much faster tempo than in the days that “used to be.” Let us use what might be instead of what has been as our yardstick!”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
“The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
