Bio

Ken Cheveldayoff
Caution
CLC rating: Pro-parental rights; Educable on abortion
Rating Comments: In November 2017, after stating that he would do everything in his power to protect the baby in the womb, Mr. Cheveldeyoff clarified his position stating that in the case of sexual assault, the person should have the choice to have an abortion. At a Nov. 3, 2011 all-candidates meeting he stated that he is "a pro-life supporter but their are many other issues". He also congratulated the pro-life leaders present "for the work you have done".

In 2014, Cheveldeyoff attended a gay pride flag raising ceremony "to celebrate the city's sexually diverse community". Nevertheless, to his credit, in October 2023, Cheveldeyoff voted in favour of a wonderful 'Parents Bill of Rights' law that will require schools to obtain parental consent before their children can use opposite sex names or opposite sex pronouns at school. The bill, which was voted into law, also included other valuable protections against LGBT and sexual grooming in the classroom, which has become rampant over the past decade.

Caution
Bill 137 — The Education (Parents’ Bill of Rights) Amendment Act, 2023
In a groundbreaking victory for parental rights and child protection in Canada, the Saskatchewan provincial government passed its Parents’ Bill of Rights, ensuring that parental authority is respected, family values are prioritized over politically-correct / state-approved values, and students are better protected from falling prey to LGBT grooming and woke ideological indoctination. Premier Scott Moe even invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to shield the pro-family legislation from the whims of unelected, activist judges who might try to label it “transphobic”. Bill 137 passed by a huge vote margin of 40 - 12 on October 20, 2023.

Question Response
Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? no response
Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? (note: a surgical or medical intervention, designed to prevent the death of the mother but but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion. e.g. in cases of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) no response
Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in Saskatchewan? no response
Do you agree women have the right to be thoroughly informed about the serious health consequences of abortion, the development of the child in the womb and the alternatives to abortion? no response
Will you support the rights of parents to withdraw their children from school classes which offend their moral principles or beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? no response
Euthanasia is the deliberate killing of a person by action or omission, with or without that person's consent, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons. Will you oppose euthanasia and support measures to promote 'palliative care', the purpose of which is to alleviate pain and enhance quality of life for terminally ill patients? no response
Will you support legislation to protect the right of health care workers who refuse to participate in procedures which are in violation of their religious or conscientious beliefs? no response
