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:
“Across Parker Avenue from the fort is the Site of the Old Gallows, where 83 men “stood on nothin’, a-lookin’ up a rope.” The platform had a trap wide enought to “accommodate” 12 men, but half that number was the highest ever reached. On two occasions six miscreants were executed. There were several groups of five, some quartets and trios.”

“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)
“It was a favor for which to be forever silent to be shown this vision. The earth beneath had become such a flitting thing of lights and shadows as the clouds had been before. It was not merely veiled to me, but it had passed away like the phantom of a shadow, skias onar, and this new platform was gained. As I had climbed above storm and cloud, so by successive days’ journeys I might reach the region of eternal day, beyond the tapering shadow of the earth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
