CHP TALKS

My guest this week is Joel Salatin, a writer, speaker and successful farmer. His family farm in Swoope, Virginia (Polyface Farms) provides meaningful work for 22 employees; the farm also provides healthy, nutritious beef, pork and chicken to over 5,000 families, 10 restaurants, and 5 retail outlets. All this without using agricultural chemicals. They also sell forestry products. Joel's passion and expertise is in the field of regenerative agriculture. For more info and resources on this topic, visit https://polyfacefarms.com I also highly recommend you watch the documentary about Joel and his successful farming philosophy and techniques, The Lunatic Farmer here: https://www.angel.com/watch/the-lunatic-farmer 

My guest this week is Katie Pasitney, who's been on our program before. She is the official spokesperson for Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, BC. My wife and I were onsite with Katie last week to see the situation for ourselves; we were so impressed with Universal Ostrich Farms and the hundreds of volunteers and supporters who have come together in community to stop the unreasonable slaughter of the ostriches. As most of you know, the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) wants to cull, kill and eliminate the farm's 399 healthy ostriches. They refuse to test the birds or even to allow them to be tested (or counted). Dozens of RCMP are on the property and an unknown number of CFIA agents are also on the property and have taken on themselves the responsibility of caring for these unique birds since they are preventing the owners from accessing, feeding or looking after their own birds. The Supreme Court of Canada has not yet determined whether they will hear the case, in spite of international concerns being raised at the highest levels.

My guest this week is Christian McCay, someone we've known for some years and who—on October 18 in Abbotsford BC—was elected to serve as the next Leader of the Christian Heritage Party of BC (CHP-BC), the provincial wing of CHP Canada. Recorded on the front lawn of the BC Legislature in Victoria, we discuss Mr. McCay's background and previous experience in seeking to restore biblical morality at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. I look forward to the growth and impact of CHP-BC in the days ahead with Christian McCay at the helm!

My guest this week is Greg Hill, co-founder of Free to Fly, an organization dedicated to restoring and defending personal freedom, particularly as it pertains to air travel. Their newsletter goes out over 35,000 airline professionals and passengers. Today we discuss the ominous approach of a digital ID in the UK, Canada and the world. Learn more about Greg and Free to Fly at https://www.freetofly.ca 

My guest this week is Michael Clark, head of the Christian Impact Network and a repeat guest on CHP Talks. In July, Michael was touring Alberta and motivating Christians to step forward as candidates for municipal and school board offices in the 2025 Municipal Election. That election will take place on Monday, October 20 and Michael has returned to do yet another Alberta tour, encouraging the candidates who have stepped forward and calling on citizens to volunteer and help some of these candidates get elected. Details of where Michael is holding meetings and how to get involved can be found at https://christianimpactnetwork.com 

My guest this week is Pastor Derek Reimer of Calgary. Derek feeds and ministers to the homeless in Calgary but was arrested for peacefully presenting biblical truth at a “Drag Queen Story Hour.” He was arrested again for attempting to discuss—with a library manager—the use of a public library for these types of events. He served 105 days behind bars and has now served 9 months of a 12-month sentence under house arrest. He is not allowed to pastor at his church and his regular work as a drywaller has been limited by restrictions imposed by his probation officer. This has seriously reduced his family's income. You can learn more about Derek and his ministry at: https://mission7ministries.comYou can help support Derek and his family during this time when he is not able to work by contacting him at: derek@mission7ministries.com 

My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. We discuss the $30 Billion of taxpayer-funded corporate welfare doled out to large multinational corporations like Honda, Volkswagen, Stellantis and Northvolt for major capital expansion projects that—if they were sound investments—would be able to find money without putting taxpayers deeper in debt. Many of these projects, like plants producing batteries for electric vehicles, represent ideological virtue-signalling more than serious models for sustainable energy and transportation. We also chat about Prime Minister Carney's serious misuse of the word ‘voluntary' in regard to the Liberals firearms ‘buyback' boondoggle. Learn more about these issues and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation at: https://www.taxpayer.com 

My guest this week is Ted Kuntz, President of Vaccine Choice Canada (https://vaccinechoicecanada.com). Ted had a leading role in exposing government lies and misinformation during the Covid years but he's also been challenging the pharmaceutical industry's control of medical funding and protocols for many years prior to Covid—ever since his son was injured and ultimately died as a result of a vaccine injury. We discuss the myths around the ‘safety and efficacy' of all vaccines and the current scare tactics being used to get parents to vaccinate their children for measles.

My guest this week is Pastor Steve Bainbridge, lead pastor at The Mill Christian Fellowship in Mississauga, Ontario. His church will be the location of the Maple Abolition Conference Sept. 18 to 20. Numerous speakers—including Laura Klassen (Choice42)—will be addressing the issue of ending abortion in Canada. Pastor Matthew Trewhella will also be speaking on the topic of the responsibility of “lesser magistrates” to confront evil in high places. We encourage all our viewers and listeners within driving distance to consider attending and participating in this important discussion. Learn more and register (free) at: https://www.mapleabolition.ca/en 

My guest this week is John Sikkema, Director of Law and Policy at ARPA (Association for Reformed Political Action). We discuss the recent decision by Andrea Horwath, Mayor of Hamilton, to remove ARPA's billboard. The billboard carried the message: Let Kids Be.ca / Stop Medical Transitions for Minors. It is one of the visuals ARPA is using to educate and inform the public of their Let Kids Be campaign. ARPA is hosting a Let Kids Be! Rally and March in Toronto, September 27. Details can be found at https://www.letkidsbe.ca and at https://arpacanada.ca ARPA will be challenging the decision in court. It is similar to the Hamilton decision to disallow the CHP's bus shelter ad—“Woman: An Adult Female”. Learn more about the CHP's court challenge at: https://www.chp.ca/gender 

My guest this week is Salena Zito, veteran political reporter, currently writing for the Washington Examiner. She is the author of Butler: The untold story of the near assassination of Donald Trump and the fight for America's heartland.

She has a lot to say about the Hand of God, what happened that day and its impact on US politics. Salena has more than 20 years of award-winning experience in print and broadcast journalism. Her columns have been syndicated in more than 200 newspapers nationwide.

We discuss the CTF's recent exposé of the 1,831 “managers, producers and supervisors” at the CBC with salaries over $100,000 (annual cost to taxpayers=$240 million). We also chat about the looming requirement for 20% of all vehicles sold in Canada to be “zero-emission” by 2026 (100% by 2035) and what that will mean for the average Canadian family. I also mention the email survey that the CTF recently sent out to subscribers…a great opportunity to express your views as a taxpayer!

Guest host Beth St Denis interviews Jay Palko, a former Essex CHP candidate and a passionate advocate for protecting children from the corruption happening in our public school systems.Beth and Jay, both outspoken Christians, have been at the forefront of raising awareness about the alarming issues within their local school board. Together, they delve into the specific tactics used by these boards, shining a light on how their actions threaten the innocence of children.This episode explores the government's role in sanctioning the destruction of childhood through policies that jeopardize the moral integrity and safety of students.

My guest this week is Jim Enos, Ontario President for the CHP and President of the Hamilton-Wentworth Family Action Council. Jim and the CHP are headed back to court to defend freedom of speech regarding gender and family issues—specifically the right to proclaim the biological reality and dictionary definition that a woman is an adult female.

His podcast pulls in opinions and observational insights from a wide variety of guests. As he joins me today, he shares bits of his life journey through an early hockey career and into the role of podcaster, grappling along the way with issues of faith and politics.

My guest this week is Dr. John Redekop, author, professor and outspoken advocate for Christian values in public policy and social structures. We speak about the importance of a proper education that not only passes on knowledge but also supports parents and provides traditional moral guidance for young people as they navigate current trends. Dr. Redekop speaks directly about SOGI-123, the BC curriculum that has pushed LGBT+ ideology on schoolchildren . . . and the urgency and importance of speaking up and holding politicians accountable for the decisions they make that affect young lives.Learn more about Dr. Redekop and read many of his insightful articles at: https://johnhredekop.caOr write to him at: jhredekop@shaw.ca 

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.Learn more about the CFFO at: https://www.christianfarmers.org 

My guest this week is long-time friend Harold Jonker of Jonker Trucking. Harold drove the lead truck into Ottawa in the 2022 Truckers Freedom Convoy and had up to 12 trucks involved over the course of the event. Until last week, Harold was facing charges related to his participation; but last week, a court in Ottawa ruled that he was innocent of all charges. In this episode, Harold gives thanks to God for the victory and for helping him through this difficult season.  It was a real pleasure to hear how he and his family faced the unknown, trusting in the Lord for the outcome and the strength to carry on . . . in spite of the false and vindictive attempts of the government to punish him and other truckers for their legal protest of unjust regulations. 

My guest this week is Katie Pasitney, spokesperson for Universal Ostrich Farms in Edgewood, BC and daughter of Karen Esperson, owner of the unique ostrich research farm. Katie tells us about their ongoing fight with the CFIA (Canadian Food Inspection Agency) that wants to cull, kill, depopulate and eliminate their 400 healthy ostriches. The ostriches have already survived an attack of Avian Flu and offer promising scientific opportunities to develop alternative methods of fighting Bird Flu without resorting to mRNA vaccines or massive culls. The CFIA has already killed over 8.7 million farm birds in BC and seem intent on killing these ostriches but refuse to test them for the flu. Hundreds of supporters have visited the farm and want to protect this unique herd of animals.Learn more or contribute to legal costs at: https://saveourostriches.comMr. Lloyd Manchester, of the Kelowna Citizens Safety Association, has written some excellent open letters, one to the Prime Minister and one to the BC Leader of the Opposition.

My guest this week is my good friend, Mr. Ron Gray, former National Leader of CHP Canada. We discuss the recent federal election, the shocking reversal of public opinion during the campaign, the sad state of journalism in Canada and some of the less-known but very concerning details of our new Prime Minister's holdings in Brookfield Asset Management. 

My guest this week is Barry Neufeld—a battle-scarred veteran of the culture wars—who has been dragged through the biased and misguided BC Human Rights Tribunal for the past seven years for making the accurate statement that the gender ideology being forced on children in BC public schools is a form of child abuse. Barry is still facing another hearing on May 21 but he continues to stand strong. In this episode, Barry also speaks about his amazing encounter with a troubled young drama teacher—Justin Trudeau—long before he entered politics. To help Barry with legal costs of his battle against state-sanctioned child abuse, cheques can be mailed to:       The Rights and Freedoms Fundraising Society         PO Box 21004         Chilliwack, BC   V2P 8A9E-transfers can be sent to:         donatebarryneufeld@rightsandfreedoms.orgText messages can be sent to:         604-798-9425Websites:          https://BarryNeufeld.com         https://RightsandFreedoms.org

Porn and limiting access for children. 2.SOGI and the need to ban it in schools. 3.The transitioning of minors and the need to end that nationwide. 4.MAiD—the need to stop killing the elderly and instead provide proper palliative care.Find David's CHP webpage here: https://www.chp.ca/david-schaafsma 

My guest this week is Kari Simpson, a longtime friend and a fearless advocate for truth and justice. Kari explains the implications of BC Premier David Eby's dictatorial Bill 7, that would give emergency powers to the Premier and Cabinet and deny opportunity for legislative debate. Kari expounds on the general tendency of current federal and provincial governments to want more power and fewer restraints. And then she tells us what to do about all this: sign petitions, talk to your MLAs and demand they vote against Bill 7. A new website is going up soon (not live yet as of April 1): killbill7.comIt will have information, brochures and petitions for BC residents. You can reach Kari Simpson by email at: savecanada123@gmail.comFor more about the many issues Kari is active on visit Culture Guard: http://www.cultureguard.com 

My guest this week is the Rev. Nathanael (Nate) Wright, Senior Pastor at Crossroads Bible Church in Ingersoll, Ontario and Canadian Director of the Ezra Institute. We discuss “cultural apologetics”, the challenge of bridging the gap between secular worldviews and Christian culture and the importance of finding tools for communicating effectively by asking questions and defining terms. Pastor Nate gives the biblical / historical context of the Ezra Institute based on the prophet Ezra's laying the cultural and moral foundation for the rebuilding of the ancient walls of Jerusalem. Pastor Nate will be the keynote speaker at the AGM of the Sarnia—Lambton—Bkejwanong EDA in Sarnia, Friday May the 2nd. To learn more about the Ezra Institute, visit: https://www.ezrainstitute.comTo purchase tickets to the AGM Dinner ($40 / plate), contact:Ed Banninga: 519 542 3076  orCurtis Bryce: sarnia-lambton-bkejwanong-chp@slicc.ca / 519 384 5457

Jacob serves on the Oxford EDA and is excited about representing the CHP platform of Life! Family! and Freedom! Jacob tells us how he heard about the CHP and why he wants to run in 2025. We discuss the CHP's Fair Tax policy, the importance of protecting innocent human life, Jacob's daily work as a forklift driver and his recent mission trip with his wife, Jenna, to South America. We also talk about how important it is for more Canadians—young and old—to step up to the plate and offer themselves as CHP candidates so that more voters have a real prolife choice on the ballot.

My guest this week is Lloyd Leugner, a Canadian veteran, patriot and freedom fighter. Lloyd served 15 years in the Canadian Army, including 3 peacekeeping missions. In 2012, he received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and in 2018 he received the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers in honour of his work helping veterans who suffer from PTSD. In this episode, we discuss the Trump tariffs, the pathetic angry posturing of Canada's mainstream political leaders, the reality of Canada's fentanyl problems and the money laundering connected with drugs, casinos, the CCP and foreign interference in Canadian politics. For an in-depth study of the fentanyl / money-laundering / casinos / real estate / CCP / foreign influence connections, check out Sam Cooper's book, Wilful Blindness:  https://www.amazon.ca/Wilful-Blindness-network-tycoons-infiltrated/dp/0888903014 

My guest this week is Brandon Pringle, a Canadian patriot who lives in Alberta. We discuss the need to defend and maintain free speech and the historical benefit we have had from our proximity to the USA . . . especially in relation to their First Amendment protection of free speech. Brandon explains the need for church leaders and individual Christians to stand up, to speak the truth and to be a prophetic witness to our surrounding secular society.To reach Brandon or to request info by phone, call: 1-844-73JESUS.For videos from the Such A Time conference, visit: https://suchatime.ca  

My guest this week is Dr. Charles Hoffe, a man who has been—for the past 3 years—the victim of misguided and malicious charges by the BC College of Physicians and Surgeons, the BC Interior Health Authority and the BC Ministry of Health. Despite his exemplary record as a family doctor and ER doctor, he has been denied hospital privileges and threatened for speaking out about the dangers of the experimental mRNA vaccines. Earlier in February of this year, the College dropped the misconduct charges against him because of the mountain of evidence provided by 8 expert witnesses. Dr. Hoffe gives glory to God for answered prayers but warns our viewers and listeners that the assaults on free speech and medical integrity continue, especially with BC's HPOA (Health Professions and Occupations Act), formerly Bill 36, which puts every medical professional under the thumb of government.To learn more Dr. Hoffe's work and challenges and to contribute to his legal defence costs, visit: https://drhoffe.ca 

My guest this week is Jim Karahalios, Leader of the New Blue Party of Ontario. We discuss Doug Ford's snap election and the need for prolife, profamily, profreedom Ontarians to think outside the box in this election and not give a rubber stamp to the failed liberal policies of Doug Ford's PC Party. We discuss the need for debt and deficit reduction, the New Blue's efforts to promote and protect parental rights and to stop the ‘woke' agenda in public schools. We also touch on the collapse of democratic, grass-roots procedures within the PC internal organization itself.To learn more about Jim and Belinda Karahalios and the New Blue team, visit: https://www.newblueontario.com 

My guest this week is the Hon. Brian Peckford, former Premier of Newfoundland and the last living First Minister who was a signer of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We discuss the positive impact of the Trump tariff threats on the words and actions of the Prime Minister and Premiers across the country who now are talking about border security, controlling drug cartels and eliminating barriers to inter-provincial trade. Read Brian Peckford's blog for timely analysis of current events:  https://peckford42.wordpress.com  

My guest this week is Derek Sloan, Leader of the Ontario Party, currently seeking candidates to run in the snap election called by Premier Doug Ford and his PCs. We discuss the failed policies of Doug Ford, particularly his disappointing flip-flop on the disturbing gender ideology still being pushed in Ontario public schools. We also touch on the US tariffs expected to negatively impact the Ontario and Canadian economies in the days ahead. As the pro-life leader of a socially and economically-conservative party, Derek asks the good citizens of Ontario to consider putting their names on the ballot and helping him to bring common sense and moral integrity back to Ontario. Visit the Ontario Party website at: http://www.ontarioparty.caTo contact the Ontario Party regarding candidacy, email Randy Hillier at: info@randyhillier.com

My guest this week is James Pew, the publisher of the Woke Watch Canada substack. Today we're talking about the persecution of Christians—not in Iran, or China or Russia but in Canada!

My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. She explains that though Parliament is down, Trudeau is still PM and he and his Cabinet colleagues can continue to spend money. Unless they change their behaviour, carbon taxes will still go up along with MP salaries on April Fool's Day. Follow Kris and the work of the CTF at: https://www.taxpayer.com 

My guest this week is Dr. Chris Milburn, a Nova-Scotia-based family and Emergency Room physician who has been a guest on our show before. Dr. Milburn recently wrote an article in the Epoch Times warning about the growing trend of awarding placements in medical schools based on race or other minority status rather than on competence and academic scores. He and his wife, Dr. Julie Curwin also published a more detailed article on this topic, “Race to the Bottom” on their Pairodocs Substack.To read Dr. Milburn's and Dr. Curwin's informative articles in full, visit: https://pairodocs.substack.comVisit their Free Speech in Medicine website at: https://www.freespeechinmedicine.comContact Dr. Milburn directly at:christophermilburn@protonmail.com 

This week, I give a short talk on the lay of the land politically: what we're up against as 2025 comes through the door. I talk about why it's important not to just sit back as Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives form a majority government (as they appear likely to do), but to offer voters a real opportunity in as many districts as possible to vote for a candidate and a party that are 100% pro-life, 100% pro-traditional family values and 100% committed to defending freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience and freedom from skyrocketing debt and taxes. I also call on good members of the public to step forward as CHP candidates. One or two CHP Members of Parliament could make a huge difference in Ottawa . . . but to get there, we need as many candidates as possible challenging the status quo. To join CHP, visit: https://www.chp.ca and hit the “Join” button.To contact George Zekveld at our National Office and ask for a Candidate Application Package, email: nationaloffice@chp.ca

My guest this week is Tom Harris, Executive Director of the International Climate Science Coalition-Canada and an expert on climate science. He runs circles around the CO2-bashers who have spent the last several decades promoting the ridiculous idea that carbon dioxide is causing a climate catastrophe. We discuss a new book which Tom has had a part in producing—Energy and Climate at a Glance—that will put facts and figures at your fingertips in the ongoing battle for sanity and energy independence. The book can be ordered at the ICSC-Canada website for $22.To order the book or to learn more about this issue, visit:https://www.icsc-canada.com 

My guest this week is my good friend, Mr. Ron Gray, who was National Leader of CHP Canada for 13 years, between 1995 and 2008. We discuss the globalist agenda and Ron's personal journey from unbelieving journalist to God-honouring advocate of biblical morality and responsible citizenship. In this episode, Ron connects the dots for us of world events, personal faith, the fulfilment of biblical prophecy and our responsibility to use our voices to make a difference both in speaking to our neighbours and to our God. 

My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. She exposes extravagant federal government waste in many departments, including millions of dollars spent on podcasts that nobody listens to, raises and bonuses awarded to bureaucrats in failing departments and agencies, ‘sex toys' tours in foreign countries and billions in welfare handed out to large multinational corporations. We touch on the self-serving attempt to extend the timing of the next election so that dozens of MPs will qualify for their lavish pensions even if their constituents vote them out.Follow Kris and the work of the CTF at: https://www.taxpayer.com 

My guest this week is Dr. Kent Hovind, sometimes known as Dr. Dino. He's been a high-school science and math teacher and now teaches the science of creationism to believers and skeptics alike. He's a passionate Christian and links rejection of the biblical creation story to the degrading policies being promoted by so many politicians today. Dr. Hovind has participated in hundreds of creation / evolution debates and welcomes discussion with other scientists who still support undirected macro-evolution as the source of all our wonderful and diverse species.Find links to Dr. Hovind's teachings at: https://www.drdino.com 

My guest this week is Jeff Gunnarson, National President of Campaign Life Coalition. We discuss Justin Trudeau's egregious attempt to destroy Canada's Crisis Pregnancy Centres by taking away their charitable status—UNLESS they publicly list the services they DON'T provide . . . like abortion. These institutions are not taxpayer-funded, in most cases are run by volunteers and supported by charitable giving so that they can assist pregnant women and young moms as they navigate a challenging time in their lives. Mr. Trudeau's attack on them is mean-spirited and needs to be stopped.To sign CLC's petition on this issue, visit:https://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/petition/id/93To learn more about Campaign Life, visit:https://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/home/For some of the best up-to-the-minute reporting on pro-life news, visit:https://www.lifesitenews.com/canada
