CLC rating: Pro-LGBT ideology, Unknown on abortion
Rating Comments: Has not yet responded to CLC’s 2022 election survey, therefore, the candidate’s views on abortion are not known. However, in 2019 he celebrated homosexual and transgender political power in agreeing to fly the LGBT Pride flag over Summerside City Hall. Mayor Basil was even critical of another City Council for refusing to fly the controversial symbol, casting aspersions on them as "close-minded" by saying that he and his Summerville Council were "very open-minded".

|---|---|---|
| Flying the controversial gay pride flag over City Hall, despite the fact it contradicts the values and religious beliefs of many citizens who also deserve to be represented by elected officials Many people of faith - Christians, Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, and others, have deeply held religious beliefs about marriage and human sexuality. It is disrepectful to the citizenry for elected officials who have an obligation to represent all constituents, to take one side of a controversial moral issue. |

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Basil Stewart on Oct 28, 2022.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions. 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? | no response |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | no response |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | no response |
| 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? | no response |
