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 rather a strange objection to talking from the back platform of a train.... It changes too often. It moves around and shifts its ground too often. I like a platform that stays put.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“I marched in with the men afoot; a gallant show they made as they marched up High Street to the depot. Lucy and Mother Webb remained several hours until we left. I saw them watching me as I stood on the platform at the rear of the last car as long as they could see me. Their eyes swam. I kept my emotion under control enough not to melt into tears.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“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)
