“Pay equity” – a high sounding phrase, but what does it mean? Many think it means pay equality, but it does not. Canadian law already requires equal pay for equal work. “Pay equity” goes beyond that. It means equal pay for work of equal value. Pay equity has become the central item on the feminist agenda for 1980’s. In the U.S., the [...]
Although Bill C-114 died when the Mulroney government prorogued parliament in September, the following critique is highly relevant as the federal government intends to introduce legislation to curb pornography. The critique is written by Katherine de Jong, a law professor at the university of Western Ontario; Michael Dwyer, a seminarian at St. Peter’s, London; J.K. MacKenzie, Q. C., President of Christians Against [...]
The recent appointment of Dalton Camp, and the news that he (un-elected by anyone other than Brian Mulroney) will sit in the cabinet and act as an advisor on government policy has outraged many staunch Progressive Conservatives, including not a few MPs. It is an understatement to say that Dalton Camp is neither universally loved, nor trusted in conservative circles. Far from [...]
For a few days it looked as if Reggie Chartrand’s battle to force the Quebec law enforcement authorities to act against doctors who perform abortions illegally in their offices had achieved a major success. On Tuesday, September 9, Judge Roger Savard, in a preliminary hearing of charges laid by Mr. Chartrand, ordered Dr. Yvan Machabee to appear before the Criminal Court, at [...]
A pilgrimage is defined as a journey to a sacred spot for religious reasons. Figuratively speaking, pilgrimages have been in existence “since Adam was a boy.” Muslims travel to Mecca. Buddhists go to Lumbini, where Buddha was born, Sikhs visit various “gurdward” or temples and Christians visit shrines in many places and countries. I have been on pilgrimages to Jerusalem, Rome, Lourdes [...]
An important decision has been made by the Federal government in granting an exemption from union dues on religious grounds. An employee of Revenue Canada has successfully applied for and received an exemption from the payment of dues to his union because of his strong objection to his union’s position on the abortion issue. The Revenue Canada employee, a member of the [...]
Joe Borowski, Canada’s long-time pro-life activist, has been warned that his refusal to pay a $50 fine (for trespass at the Morgentaler clinic in Toronto last November) will result in a warrant for committal to prison. Mr. Borowski pleaded guilty to trespass and informed the court last April that he would not pay a fine. He requested that the prison sentence be [...]
The recent election of Bill Vander Zalm as Premier of British Columbia and its coverage in the daily newspapers makes for an interesting exercise in a study of media bias. The attitude of the press is shown not merely by what is said, but what is stressed, and what is omitted. The B.C. newspapers obviously had a greater interest in the election, [...]
Across Canada Socreds for Life, a newly formed pro-life lobby group within the Social Credit Party in British Columbia, was well received by delegates at the recent leadership convention at whistler. The group, consisting of 15 Party supporters and delegates and organized by Campaign Life B.C., was present at the convention handing out flyers and buttons, and speaking to delegates. The flyer, [...]
Workers in a Gatineau medical-refuse disposal plant for incineration have found the partly decomposed body of a baby. Evidence showed that the infant at birth would have weighed 1200 grams – just over two pounds. Traced through a hospital bracelet, it was discovered to have been a stillborn child sent with “other hospital waste such as amputated limbs, organs, old bandages and [...]
I take letters to the editor seriously. Particularly ones like the letter printed this month from AIDS Calgary, accusing me of misinforming and deliberately misleading readers to promote “bigotry” and “ignorance.” In the April editorial I referred to AIDS as a homosexual disease, and I believe I was right to do so. Since the AIDS virus was first identified – and named [...]
“The thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.” I can’t remember who wrote those words but they are part of a poem I learned in school more than 60 years ago. I recalled them recently when reading a historical novel by Ken Follett entitled Wings of Eagles. It is a story of the rescue of two American businessmen who had been imprisoned [...]
St. John’s Newfoundland Elizabeth House, a home for unwed mothers in St. John’s, was opened in 1980 when a two-story house was donated to the local Right to Life Association by the Sisters of Mercy. The facility has accommodated about 20 expectant mothers every year since it’s opening. They are limited to five mothers at a time by local housing by-laws. [...]
As we all know, laws, and amendments to laws are made by the politicians; and politicians are influenced by you – the voter! All of us who are 18 or over should be aware of our individual power to influence our Members of Parliament. At the last Pro-Life Policy Conference there was a seminar on “Political Lobbying Do’s and Don’ts” by Sue [...]
