Ottawa Sun Questions and answers.
OTAWA SUN: What are the 3 most important issues facing your Riding and where do you stand on these issues?
David MacDonald answers:
1) CHEO infant screening programs: We are enthusiastic about any program that will increase the health of the baby. Unfortunately, screening is not always used for the health of the baby. 80% of children screened during pregnancy and found with Down syndrome in Canada are later aborted. OHIP pays for the test AND the abortion. Screening used in this way is eugenics, which is unethical. The Council of Canadians with Disabilities www.ccdonline.ca condemns the screening and subsequent abortion of babies with Down syndrome. This is unacceptable and it exposes a flaw in our Ontario medical system, which funds unconscionable harm on an unborn child simply because she has a disability. A baby should have the same rights the day before she is born as the day after she is born. How can we condemn selective abortion of girls in China when we practice selective abortion of babies with Down syndrome in Canada?

2) CHEO increased funding of the Eating Disorder Clinic: High school girls are under tremendous pressure by teen magazines that show anorexic models. Many people are helped by groups such as Bulimics Anonymous. Peer help groups often can support much more effectively than an expensive clinical environment. We believe that policies that strengthen the family will improve eating disorders which are often aggravated by broken homes. Psychologists have found that teenagers that are not practicing chastity have a much higher rate of self destructive behavior like cutting, bulimia, anorexia, unhealthy sex relationships. Girls today are pressured to expose so much skin that they are driven to lose more and more weight. An environment at school that encourages chastity and modesty of dress will help. Some say chastity is not realistic; 20 years ago people thought recycling was unrealistic, not smoking on an airplane was unrealistic. When society is in pain it changes.
3) Break-ins in Alta Vista: We need to strengthen police services. One of the defining elements of our age is that we rarely know our neighbours. We do not watch out for each other anymore. We need to foster community building activities where people know each other and notice if something’s wrong. Let’s start speaking to our neighbours over the fence. We will promote community services that build neighborhoods. Also, we will introduce policies such as income splitting for a husband and wife. This will foster an environment where there will be communities where one parent can stay home if they want. Thieves rarely break into communities where there are many people at home. Having environments with a parent at home will also help the kids. Psychologists have found kids do better with a parent at home than at day care, and they don’t get sick as often.
OTTAWA SUN: What are the 3 most important issues facing Ontario and where do you stand on these issues?
David MacDonald Answers:
1) Ontario citizens are charged an annual $900 health tax, they have to pay for necessary tests such as cancer screening, and have unacceptable wait times for necessary surgery. Meanwhile, taxpayers are forced to spend over $32,000,000 per year for over 40,000 abortions, which are almost always a “choice”. This includes all expense paid abortion trips to the US which cost over $7000 each. There are long adoption waiting lists. Our aging population is drying up retirement funds, we are not replacing our population. Immigration hasn’t solved it because the average person coming to Canada is over 30 years old. We will help created a climate of adoption, shuffle health spending, cancel the $900 tax, introduce parental notification of youth before an abortion, introduce support for pregnant women, health care coverage for children in the womb, cooling periods of 48 hours before abortion. Scientists are now unanimous that life begins at conception.
2) Sex Ed is a mess. Teenagers are about as good at using condoms as they are at making their beds. A generation ago there were 20 basic STDs, now there are over 60 STD’s and 25% of girls have HPV, a precursor to cancer. The proposed vaccination is expensive, addresses only 4 of 18 HPV strains, requires 3 separate vaccines and gives false confidence. We will introduce policies that foster chastity.It is the only thing that works. There is a lot of resistance against chastity because sex sells. It sells cloths, sells products, sells health services, it sells pharmaceuticals it ultimately it sells abortion. We need to reorient our direction. We believe in revamping school curriculums, requiring all ISP’s to have parental porn control filters available on internet services, sponsor travelling teams of youth who are practicing chastity who share their experiences with chastity at schools across the province.
3) Energy: Yes to de-centralization; Private production of electricity through small water turbines, wind and solar farms and sell surplus energy to the network. Local electrical power generation where the waste heat is used for local heating and cooling. All of the above would avoid long distance transmission of electrical power with its transmissions losses. Integrated communities to reduce commuting costs (energy and time). Use of natural gas for cars. Also we would promote cycling. We think it is odd that we live in a culture where we spend 10000’s of dollars on a vehicle and then spend 1000’s of dollars on a gym membership to drive a fake bicycle and go nowhere. Why not bike to work? We will give credits to companies that foster cycling to work by giving credit for “at work” showers.
- Ontario does not give priority to elective surgery, but forces taxpayers to fund abortion, whose advocates call a "choice".
- Taxpayers are forced to pay for abortion up to full term, including all expenses paid airfare and accommdations to the U.S.A. at $7,100 each.
- Ontarians were forced to pay $900 per year health care tax because of an OHIP shortfall. Yet, taxpayers were forced to pay $32,000,000 for abortions.
- We have unacceptable wait times for surgery to restore life, yet tax dollars tangled up to fund elective surgery to end life.
- Couples fly around the world to adopt a baby while taxpayers fund 40,000 baby deaths a year here in Ontario.
- Retirement prgrams are going broke because we are not replacing our population. Yet our schools are creating an environment that encourages abortion.
- The abortion industry said "choice" would reduce child abuse, but child abuse has increased 500% since abortion was legalized.
- The abortion industry said "choice" would reduce crime. Crime is higher than ever.
- The abortion industry said that "choice" would strengthen marriages, but parents of aborted children have the highest divorse rate.
- Numerous studies have shown that most women are presured into abortion, if it was up to the mother of the aborted unborn she would almost always keep the baby.
- Schools teach teenagers not to wait until marriage. Yet according the National Post, 25% of girls between 15-25 years old have HPV, a precursor to ovarian cancer.
- The school system answer to HPV? Force taxpayers to fund a million $500 vaccines that miss 50% of HPV strains and gives girls false confidence.
- The "Condom Sense" approach to sex ed has been a complete failure. Kids are about as good at using condoms as they are at making there beds.
- And we wonder why so many parents are home schooling.
The Human Rights Commission is throwing fines at those who take a stand on morality. Scott Brockie, a Toronto printer lost over $150,000 in legal fees for simply saying that he didn't want to print material for the gay archives based on his religious beliefs. Taxpayers paid for his prosecution.
Many of the problems in our province are due to a simultaneous attack and breakdown of the family. We believe that if we support the family then many other problems will improve.
- Our crime rates will drop
- Bullying in our schools will drop
- Schools will be places children can learn achedemics, not learn how to carry knives and do drugs
- Our insurance benefits programs will rejuvenate because our population curve will stop aging.
- Our medical system will improve because people will be healthier.
- Our mental institutions won't be filled with people from broken homes.
We at the FCP believe in the family, and propose policies to support and protect the family.
Definitions and explanations of the fundamental human rights:
1. The right to life only pertains to human life: Each human being has innate worth, unique potential and inherent dignity from conception to natural death. All human beings need to be protected, by other individuals and, if necessary by government, from any threat to their life. Without life, any other right is meaningless; any other human activity or government activity is meaningless.
The family has an important and necessary role in protecting and nurturing life. This role makes the family, rather than the individual, the basic building block of our society. When families are strong and prosperous, democracy and economic enterprise flourish.
2. The right to freedom illustrates that people are not mere objects of political manipulation, but subjects and agents responsible for their own destiny.
The right to freedom makes several other subordinate rights possible: the right to association, the right to elect government representatives, freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, freedom of the media, freedom from involuntary servitude and the right to own property.
3. The right to own property, although subordinate to the above fundamental rights, makes several other rights possible: the right to free use and exchange of currency or assets, the right to free trade, the right to free enterprise, etc.
The right to own property, and the principle of reward for work performed, also create economic prosperity, by creating incentive, hope and opportunity for people to pursue their goals, express their individual capabilities and achieve their own potential.
4. Adherence of elected representatives to the protection of the above fundamental rights supersedes, in case of conflict, any obligation to represent the opinions of the majority of their constituents. Fundamental rights and questions of fundamental justice are not determined by opinion polls. read more >
