Paul Kalyniuk (Selkirk—Interlake)

Kalyniuk was a bus driver for Winnipeg Transit. [1] He wrote a letter to the Winnipeg Free Press during the 1993 federal election, supporting the Christian Heritage Party and suggesting that party leader Heather Stilwell be including in the federal party leaders' debate. [2] In 1997, he received 363 votes (0.94%) to finish fifth against Reform Party candidate Howard Hilstrom.

In 1999, Kalyniuk complained that his tax dollars went toward services he disapproved of, including abortion, gender-affirming surgery, and NATO's military actions in Kosovo. [3] Two years later, he criticized efforts to promote judicial lenience for Robert Latimer, a Saskatchewan man who was found guilty of murdering his severely handicapped daughter in what some described as a mercy killing.

The party's stated principle is that "the purpose of civil government is to ensure security, freedom, and justice for all its citizens from conception till natural death, by upholding just laws".
