The FCP started with an almost
instant
success, when the party had the least experience. With the help of pro-life
organizations and individual pro-life people across Ontario, many
voters were moved to helping
our candidates with the hope of finally achieving progress at a
time when abortion in Canada was being de-criminalized. At the
time, many
people were already frustrated with their inability to affect
government through the traditional means of voting, lobbying, letter writing, petitions and demonstrations.
However,
that success did not make the FCP an established party with the media and
the party was ignored at the very moment it had the most impact.
The
big parties reacted to the success of the FCP by coordinating a
defense through their members and contacts within family
organizations and the media.
Since
then the Ontario situation continued to deteriorate both
for the family as an institution and with respect to moral issues, such as divorce
rate, Children Services, support of homosexual marriage, etc.
However,
through the determination of FCP members, the FCP has continued to
run candidates in every election and most by-elections.
Because
of the "political vacuum" created by the major
parties, which have followed the politically correct winds, the
field of opportunity for the FCP has continued to grow.
The FCP
currently represents the only alternative for people on the
moral side of the culture war.
How does the FCP hope to become
a substantial party?
The following are the
steps to success of the FCP:
1.
Trusting that our vision of life and family is the
right one1.
2.
Representing truth, honesty, true compassion and consistency
in our policies.
3.
Supporting a fair electoral
system for a better democracy.
4.
Motivating decent people to vote
again and believe that we can effect change.
Why
a third party?
Because
the two main parties have abandoned any positive philosophy, but
are only seeking to "win" and be in power for the sake
of its rewards.
Because
the NDP is based on a Marxist philosophy
that is falling apart and is funded by unions that do not defend
the poor, the jobless, the oppressed, but is waging an outdated
class war.
Because
we recognize that a healthy economy based on family values can be human-friendly and
environment friendly.
Thus
we envision our party to replace the NDP in Ontario as the third
party, as a step towards becoming a regular partner in future
majority government coalitions.
