Candidate, Keith Benn
New Blue Party, Lambton-Kent-Middlesex, ON
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-life
Rating Comments: Keith gave perfect pro-life answers in his response to CLC's questionnaire in anticipation of the by-election in the provincial riding of Lambton-Kent-Middlesex in 2024.
In the 2022 Ontario Provincial Election, Keith ran in the riding of Sarnia-Lambton and gave mostly good answers to CLC's election survey at the time, but did not answer a key question pertaining to abortion. For this reason, we have deemed him to be 'educable', but not pro-life, during that election cycle.

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Keith Benn on Jan. 9, 2024.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | Yes |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? If yes, please explain. *A surgical or medical intervention, designed to prevent the death of the mother (e.g. In the case of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion. |
No |
| Would you support measures to delist medically unnecessary, elective abortions from the list of insured services covered by OHIP? | Yes |
| 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? | Yes |
| Would you vote in favor of repealing the Ontario "bubble zone" censorship law? This unconstitutional law criminalizes peaceful pro-life expression, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within 50 metres (or more) of any abortion facility. | Yes |
| Will you protect parental rights in education by working to ensure that traditionally principled parents are given advance notice of, and the ability to withdraw their children from, classroom lessons and presentations dealing with abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and transgenderism? | Yes |
| Would you support efforts to repeal the age-inappropriate, graphic, sex-ed curriculum which is currently being taught throughout Ontario schools? | Yes |
| If elected, will you vote to reject laws that would expand euthanasia and assisted-suicide and instead, promote palliative care, the purpose of which is to alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life until natural death for terminally ill patients, and for those with disabilities? *Euthanasia is the direct and intentional killing of a person by action or omission, with or without the consent of that person, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons. |
Yes |
| 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? | Yes |
