Conservative incumbent Myron Thompson, running for his fifth term as MP in the House of Commons, has called for government that would represent “good Christian” values and make it a priority to stop abortion in Canada. According to the Banff Crag and Canyon’s January 17 edition (story not available on-line), Thompson made the statements to a small group of supporters in Canmore on January 11.

Crag reporter Alyson McAndrews referred to the statements as “slip-ups that perhaps illustrate the true nature of his social conservative beliefs.”

UPDATE: Aidan Henderson, campaign manager to Myron Thompson, has contacted Digital Banff claiming that the article in the Crag was inaccurate and Thompson was quoted out of context. See follow-up article.
