1. Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions, and increasingly, are involved in dispensing the chemical abortion pill. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and similar “sexual health agencies" should not receive taxpayer funds through the municipality?

4. There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw, if it were ever proposed? Yes--Yessurvey not yet sent

In April 2019, Councillor McKenney, a self-professed "lesbian", revealed her pro-abortion bias when she complained against a pro-life advertisement in the Ottawa transit system, insisting that the pro-life ad "leads you to ... advocacy groups that are anti-choice and very much misleading and have no place on our public transit system," and that it threatens to “reverse decades of pro-choice gains.”

On September 9, 2020, Ottawa City Council passed a biased and unjust Motion - co-sponsored by Councillor McKenney - to "formally denounce" the practice of Conversion Therapy and to urge higher levels of government to ban this helpful therapeutic practice. Conversion Therapy (better described as Reparative Therapy) is a form of traditional talk therapy designed to help individuals who request assistance to overcome unwanted gender identity confusion and same-sex attraction. Ottawa City Council's high-handed condemnation of, and Councillor McKenney's militant opposition to, this beneficial therapy clearly demonstrates a totalitarian attitude that seeks to impose the LGBT agenda on everyone, and especially on children who are vulnerable to indoctrination through LGBT-pushing sex education in schools. The condemnation also presents an implicit and ominous threat to those who defend and teach key Christian principles on human sexuality, including public prayer and evangelization to call LGBT practitioners out of a sinful lifestyle. This reckless Motion passed unanimously.
