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:
“... a Christian has neither more nor less rights in our association than an atheist. When our platform becomes too narrow for people of all creeds and of no creeds, I myself cannot stand upon it.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“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–?)
“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.”
