Candidate, Manuel DaSilva
| Cambridge (Ward 7), ONWard 7
CLC rating: Pro-LGBT ideology,
Light Rating
Rating Comments: As a Catholic school trustee in the WCDSB, Da Silva undermined the Catholic faith, in total violation of his fiduciary (and spiritual) obligations.
At an April 14, 2025 WCDSB meeting, he was part of a delegation of former trustees, including Brian Schmalz, Bill Conway and Wendy Price, who spoke AGAINST a motion to ban all political symbols, including the transgender & homosexual Pride flag.
Collectively, the delegation promoted "LGBT inclusion" in Catholic schools and represented active dissent from Catholic moral teaching (which condemns the sex acts and lifestyles represented by that controversial flag).

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Manuel DaSilva on 2022.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| 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? | survey not yet sent |
| 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? | survey not yet sent |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | survey not yet sent |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | survey not yet sent |
