| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Bill 200, 2nd reading, to establish NO FREE SPEECH ZONES on public property This draconian private members bill by MLA Nahanni Fontaine (NDP) sought to outlaw peaceful, pro-life expression on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within a radious of up to 150 metres around all of Manitoba's abortion facilities. Fortunately, this unconstitutional and totalitarian bill was defeated by a vote of 11 Yeas to 32 Nays on Dec. 6, 2018. |

| Bill 207, 2nd reading, to create No Free Speech "BUFFER ZONES" on public property This blatantly pro-abortion, private member's bill, introduced by NDP MLA Nahanni Fontaine, was a more extreme sequel to her failed 2018 bill that sought to outlaw peaceful, pro-life expression on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within a radious of up to 150 metres around all of Manitoba's abortion mills. In her 2021 version, MLA Fontaine included trying to ban peaceful, pro-life witness even around schools. Fortunately, this unconstitutional and totalitarian bill was defeated at 2nd Reading by a vote of 30 Nays over 20 Yeas on Oct. 14, 2021. |
