Judge Rosalie Abella in Viewpoint, a supplement to the Canadian Jewish News, January 4, 1990 entitled “Jews in Canada: Looking to the future,” lamented the trend of Jews “who seek more and more to be the same as everybody else.” Except for the Jewsish Orthodox, writes Judge Abella, “many Jews in Canada…conclude that the best way to integrate (into Canadian Society) is [...]
Current leadership races in all parties seem to be flagging. There is a dearth of capable candidates, whether for the Ontario Conservatives, the federal NDP or the federal Liberals. The only thing they seem to have in common is being pro-abortion though it is good to see three pro-life candidates in the Liberal leadership race with Tom Wappel, MP for Scarborough Centre, [...]
From December 7 to 10, 1989, Campaign Life Coalition held its annual strategy conference at Ste. Anne de Beaupre, just east of Quebec City. Just over 90 people were in attendance from all but two Canadian provinces, from Prince Edward Island to British Columbia. Quebec’s two dozen delegates were a first for this new affiliate, which bodes well for the pro-life battle [...]

The Bill had its Second Reading in the House of Lords in March 1989. The Glover Report During the debate Lord Henley, saying that he spoke for the [...]
The army is the latest branch of government found to be promoting the killing of the unborn. After politicians, the civil service (Ministry of Health), the judiciary, prosecutors and the police, the army, too, is involved in aiding and abetting abortions. A Canadian Forces base near Chicoutimi, Quebec, “helped” 39 out of 40 pregnant soldiers to get abortions over a four-year period, [...]
August 7, 1989. A Quebecois baby whose future has been the country’s front-page story for two weeks is about to perish in a nameless abortuary because his mother does not want him. Chantal Daigle has her baby killed at 23 weeks. But on the same day, across the country in Nelson, B.C., surrounded by his family and dreaming of the future, Jacob [...]
Once more a Canadian Episcopal gathering has prepared the ground for acrimony and dissent within the Catholic Church. It seems that whenever it prepares for an International Synod in Rome, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) becomes a forum for criticisms of The Holy See and the source of unwanted promises and demands which the Church at large cannot and will [...]
AT HOME Wrapping and trashing pornography For the week of October 29 to November 5, White Ribbons Against Pornography (WRAP) hung in the store windows and from the trees in the farming community of Wyoming, Ontario. The ribbons were the most visible aspect of a campaign for public decency organized by a mother of four, Femmy Anjema, and others. Canadians who would [...]
As of December 15 three pro-lifers are in jail in Canada. On January 13, 1990 James Hanlon will complete his six-month sentence in the Chilliwack, B.C. detention centre for protesting the killing of unborn babies at Vancouver Everywoman’s Health Clinic. In B.C., and nowhere else, pro-life prisoners of conscience are refused time off for good behavior. In Ontario two prisoners of conscience [...]
In her after-dinner speech to over three hundred people who attended the Human Life International Strategy Week-end (November 10-12), pro-life author Betty Steele quoted from a statement Pope John Paul II made to HLI International President, Fr. Paul Marx (OSB): “You are doing the most important work on earth.” This compliment, which Fr. Marx deserves for his tireless work fighting for the [...]
Since any begetting or production of a human being is wrong outside of marriage, we shall discuss here in vitro fertilization (IVF) only of the egg of a woman by the sperm of her husband. When the egg is fertilized in a dish by a doctor adding the husband’s sperm to it, it is said to take place in vitro, which is [...]
As we saw in our last article, food and water are being routinely withheld from seriously ill patients – not all of them terminally ill – in Canadian hospitals. Is this right? Can withdrawing nutrition (or failing to initiate it) ever be justified? There are two major schools of thought on this matter, and two minor ones. To take the major ones [...]
It is utterly impossible for this group of homosexuals to get AIDS. The program they follow doesn’t require billions of dollars from poor taxpayers. These homosexuals don’t have to shy away from giving blood. These homosexuals don’t die from AIDS. You’d think all the politicians, government flunkies, movie stars, social workers and media personnel would be running to see how they do [...]
In 1985 the federal government set up a Court Challenges Program which was intended to help “disadvantaged” groups and individuals to bring court challenges under the Charter of Rights. A fund of nine million dollars was provided for this purpose. Left wing perspective Since the Department of Justice wanted to be at arms’ length from the groups or individuals challenging federal laws, [...]
