Moniquie Taylor was a candidate in the September 2026 by-election in the provincial riding of Hamilton East-Stoney Creek.

Previously, former MPP Taylor did not seek re-election in the 2025 Ontario provincial race. In a betrayal of our constitutional right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to protest, Taylor voted in favour a draconian Liberal bill to establish "No Free Speech Zones" around all Ontario abortion facilities.

The unconstitutional Bill 163, which became law, bans pro-life witness and free speech on taxpayer-owned, public sidewalks within a radius of up to 150 metres of every abortuary in Ontario. It will put peaceful, pro-life sidewalk counsellors and demonstrators in jail for 6 months, along with the possibility of a $5000 fine for the first "offense". This law will directly result in the deaths of many more preborn children who could have been saved by pro-life sidewalk counsellors, as so many thousands have been over the years.

Taylor also voted in favour of a totalitarian bill (89) that permits Children's Aid to ban Christian couples from becoming parents through adoption on the basis of their religious beliefs concerning homosexuality and transgenderism. Bill 89 also empowers the state to seize biological children from Christian homes should parents refuse to affirm the anti-scientific theory of "gender identity" in a sexually-confused child.

On June 3, 2014 she stated on her twitter account that she supports the barbaric practice of abortion as well as forcing taxpayers to pay for this medically unecessary, elective procedure which today is used primarily as a back-up birth control method.

In 2013, she voted in favour of Bill 13 which destroyed parental rights & religious freedom in Ontario schools. The tyrannical legislation forced Catholic schools to violate their religious beliefs by accepting student-led, homosexual-activist clubs, something totally undermines Catholic moral teaching. The legislation also made it mandatory for all schools to accept the dangerous philosophical ideology of "Gender Identity", which teaches children that their being male or female has nothing to do with their biological reality, and is merely a "social construct".

Jeff Beattie won the September 2026 by-election in the provincial riding of Hamilton East-Stoney Creek.

As a Hamilton City Councillor, Jeff Beattie voted in favour of an October 31, 2023 motion to censor pro-life expression in the City of Hamilton. The motion asked Staff to draft a censorship by-law to prevent the effective delivery of abortion victim photography to city residents, by requiring them to be placed inside sealed envelopes. Furthermore, the motion asked staff to investigate how to ban the display of protest signs containing abortion victim photography, on public, taxpayer-owned property, throughout the city.

The use of abortion victim photography has been an effective strategy to convert "pro-choice" Canadians to the cause of saving preborn children from death by abortion, and thus, has become a target of illiberal censors like Beattie. The Charter enshrines freedom of expression as a fundamental right for all Canadians, and does not grant any exception for abortion victim photography, nor even for people being upset by the images. Any such by-law is unconstitutional. In fact, abortion victim photography plays an important role in waking up Canadians, out of their apathy, to the holocaust of abortion which claims 100,000 children's lives annually. It is essential pro-life expression, and must not be suppressed.

Heino Doessing was a candidate in the September 2026 by-election in the provincial riding of Hamilton East-Stoney Creek.

The Ontario Liberal Pary is officially pro-abortion, as evidenced by an official statement posted on its website following the June 2022 ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court overturning the pro-abortion Roe v. Wade decision, whereby one of the party's commissions declared that "the people of Ontario should have safe and accessible reproductive health, including abortions."

The Ontario Liberal Party is also an official supporter of LGBT ideology, as evidenced by multiple statements and declarations by the leader and on its website. For instance, in June 2024, former Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie released a statement honoring and celebrating the "contributions" of so-called 2SLGBTQIA+ Ontarians. She emphasized the importance of recognizing the history of Pride as a protest movement. Crombie stated, "Love is love, not just during Pride but every day of the year." These statements reflect the Ontario Liberal Party's ongoing support for LGBT ideology.

Pascale Marchand was a candidate in the September 2026 by-election in the provincial riding of Hamilton East-Stoney Creek.

Based on official party policy statement issued June 11, 2014 declaring support for abortion and forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for elective abortions. This written policy was emailed to CLC by the Green Party of Ontario’s Policy Coordinator, Jessica Higgins. It's also notable that the Green party leader is a fierce opponent of Catholic moral teaching in Catholic schools and strongly supports the homosexual pride parade, an event which breaks the law each year by featuring naked men and mock sex acts through the streets of Toronto.
