Previously, Ms. Sharp was a candidate for this Toronto City Council ward in the October 2022 Ontario municipal elections.

Prior to that, during the June 2022 Ontario provincial election, Ms. Sharp was a candidate for the Green Party of Ontario, which is notorious for its radical pro-abortion stance. Her rating is based on that party affiliation.

Previously, Ms. Chernos Lin was a trustee and Chair of the Toronto District School Board. She did not respond to CLC's school trustee questionnaire during the 2022 election cycle.

However, Ms. Chernos Lin is a former director of the Liberal Party of Ontario, which likely means that she is pro-abortion and pro-LGBT ideology.

Previously, Anthony Furey was a candidate in the 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election, at which time he did not responded to CLC's election survey, so his views on abortion are unknown. However, as a longtime journalist we know some things about his approach to social conservative issues.

As far as we know, Furey has never been hostile to pro-lifers. In fact, he has been sympathetic to the free speech rights of pro-life Canadians. Furthermore, he has criticized the liberal media for its biased and hostile coverage of pro-life politicians, for example, when the media attacked MPP Sam Oosterhoff for attending a pro-life event.

Furthermore, Furey was respectful when he interviewed CLC's Director of Political Operations, Jack Fonseca, for the now-defunct Sun News TV, where Furey was a TV host.

Another sign that Furey may be sympathetic to the pro-life movement is the fact that True North, the news media organization where he worked prior to the 2023 mayoral by-election, has been very favourable to pro-life and pro-family views.

In particular, True North's critique of Transgender ideology has been extensive and refreshing in a media landscape that often encourages the anti-family, child-abusive gender-cult.

During the mayoral by-election race, one of Furey's key policy platforms was his commitment to ending the so-called "Safe Injection Site" boondoggle that left-leaning politicians have foisted on Toronto residents. These sites, sometimes called "heroin shooting galleries", do not attempt to rehabilitate drug abusers, but rather to provide a "safe space" where they can simply continue abusing drugs. According to Furey, this left-wing approach has led to more overdose deaths and harm to the surrounding communities, not less.

This is an indication that Furey can put common sense ahead of socialist ideologies and "progressive programs" that don't work.

Although he did respond to CLC's pro-life mayoral election questionnaire, these common-sense and free-speech affirming aspects of Furey's background and electoral platform at the time make his current candidacy in the Ward 15 Toronto City Councillor by-election stand out from most of the other candidates.
