Parliament has passed a bill which will gag politically active groups such as Campaign Life Coalition. Under the Tories’ election reform bill, only political parties and candidates will have the freedom to do partisan advertising during election campaigns. Other groups or individuals will be allowed to spend no more than $1,000 on advertising which identifies or promotes particular parties or candidates. That [...]
One hallmark of a repressive regime is the many ways it chooses to stifle dissent. The Berlin Wall has fallen; the Soviet Union has dissolved. But, in 1993, in Ontario, repression flourishes under the New Democratric Party. If Attorney- General Marion Boyd wins her case in court, fundamental freedoms of speech and assembly in Ontario will be withdrawn. At named locations across [...]
“If you make people think they’re thinking, they’ll love you, but if you really make them think, they’ll hate you.” Watch out Canada! B.C.’s Kim Campbell is running on her record and “charisma without substance” is becoming a haunting reminder of her past. Described as the “Darling of the media,” and “the Madonna of Canadian politics,” she grabbed headlines as, one by [...]
Earlier this year I took an unprecedented step for me and joined a political party. I chose the Liberal Party for two reasons. First, the party policies generally fit more comfortable with my own views than do those of the two other major parties. Secondly, I know the woman who was seeking nomination in my riding. I knew I could support her [...]

He says the economy is dominating the debate among the leadership [...]
Toronto – According to one of the world’s top geneticists, the mass-marketing of the abortion pill in North America has the potential of killing more human beings than the combined efforts of Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. Speaking at a well-attended, April 13 press conference in Toronto’s downtown Holiday Inn, French-born geneticist Jerome Lejeune warned reporters of a “chemical warfare” which [...]
Injunction would set “unprecedented restriction” The Ontario government wants to make it illegal to counsel women or peacefully protest abortion in cities across the province. Attorney general Marion Boyd plans to seek a court order restricting pro-life activity, the government announced April 19. “I am seeking this injunction to ensure that women have access to legal health care services in this province,” [...]
The painful truth In early February, Saskatoon Alliance for Life printed a tabloid called Unmasking Planned Parenthood to be inserted into the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. The insert was instigated in response to Planned Parenthood’s application for provincial funding. The pro-abortion reaction ranged from hate mail and threatening phone calls to breaking alliance for Life’s windows and persuading the Star-Phoenix not to distribute the [...]
Queen’s Park, Ont. We’ve appealed to people in Ontario to reject abortion on the grounds of its cruelty to the preborn, its unfairness ane its innate wickedness. Maybe we’re going about it all wrong. A group of us decided to go around to Gerber (Canada), the baby food company, and test our suspicions. When we told the CEO’s secretary that we had [...]
Reflecting on her many years as a volunteer, Isabel Graham, a Toronto mother and grandmother, laughingly says, “People used to feel sorry for me because I was a professional social worker without a job, but they didn’t realize I was constantly using my professional skills in the community.” Isabel has used her professional credentials for over twenty years to strengthen family values.

The most significant long-term political contradiction facing the feminist elite in North America is that the feminist agenda has never been shown to represent the interests of the majority of women. And women know this. Although 90 per cent of women tell pollsters that achieving equality is important for them, only one-third of women are willing to call themselves “feminists.” Why? Let’s [...]
Women speaking medical help to get pregnant should beware, cautioned Dr. Patricia Baird at a recent Women’s Health Awareness Breakfast held at Royal York Hotel in Toronto. As head of the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies (RCNRT), she said their extensive research has “overwhelmingly” shown that “reproductive technologies and treatments are becoming disseminated as services, without good evidence as to whether [...]

Our scope will include first-run movies as well as those available on video-cassette. In a short write-up, the reviewers will not only [...]
Queen Kim The Progressive Conservatives (an oxymoron in he class of “safe sex” and “politically correct”) are killing me. Draft one of this column talked of a June coronation for Defense Minister Avril Phaedra (“B.S.”) Kim Campbell. It seemed ol’ Bare Shoulders would go unchallenged as Michael Wilson, Don Mazankowski, Barbara McDougall and Perin Beatty all dropped like flies, thereby changing Tory [...]

He charges that their effect, possibly their main purpose, is to destroy families. Furthermore, he says, they resort to brainwashing, mental abuse, and possibly even physical abuse. He is demanding a moratorium on their funding until [...]
