Christian Heritage Party
candidate Joslin running
in election for fourth time
Susan Hundertmark
Citing the "moral corrup-
tion of the Liberal party" as
one of his biggest issues for
the federal election, Dave
Joslin is running a fourth
time in Huron -Bruce for the
Christian Heritage Party
(CHP).
Joslin decries incumbent
Liberal MP Paul Steckle's
defence of his government's
involvement in the sponsor-
ship scandal.
"Steckle defends this saying
these were mistakes. Giving
$850 million to 500 -plus com-
panies to buy influence is not
a mistake - it's theft and I'm
very, very upset about it,"
says Joslin.
"I really think we need to
get rid of the Liberals and it
bothers me that Paul defends
the record of his government.
He's got to go too," he says.
Joslin, a fitter welder who
lives in Grey ward in Huron
East, is again running for the
CHP because of a "desire to
live out my faith."
And, he says that English
common law is based on a
Christian belief system.
Therefore, he's against any
move to further regulate gun
use, especially the recent
Liberal party promise to ban
handguns in Canada.
He says the government
promised during gun registry
that there would be no inten-
tion of banning hand guns.
"The vast majority of mur-
ders are not committed by
guns at all. I believe in
the old saw, 'Guns don't
kill people; people kill
people," he says.
Joslin adds it's impor-
tant that handgun own-
ers be allowed to keep
their "private property"
to defend themselves,
especially in rural
areas.
"Drugs are spreading
our way with Huron
County taking in the
meth that's being pro-
duced in Perth County.
With drugs will come
violence and other
problems and we need
to be able to defend our-
selves with response
time of the police being
about 50 minutes out
here," he says.
Joslin says he's also con-
cerned about the way
Canada's judges are influenc-
ing the law.
"The next biggest issue is
judicial activism where
judges think they are the
ones to make and break the
laws. The Supreme Court
said that even though sexual
orientation is not in the
Charter (of Rights) that it is
to be read into it. If so, why
do we have members of par-
liament to create the laws?"
he asks.
Another concern of Joslin is
the concentration of power in
the Prime Minister's office
arid the 3,000 appointments
made by the PMO.
"The Senate is supposed to
be a place of sober second

thought, not a bunch of
trained seals," he says.
Joslin criticizes the lack of
spending on the Canadian
military, which he says is in
"a shambles."
And, he's against the
Liberal government's plan for
a national daycare system,
prefering the CHP's family
friendly tax which would give
$1,200 a year to families with
children under the age of 18
to be spent on whatever form
of childcare - including stay-
at-home parents.
"Polls show 70 per cent of
women would prefer to stay
at home with their children
but are forced into the work-
force by ruinous taxation. The
family friendly tax would free
up 1.5 million jobs in the
workplace," he says.
