Due to recent federal cutbacks, an organization dedicated to bringing abortion to all corners of the earth will have to operate on a much smaller budget. On April 4, pro-family Canadians happily woke up to the news that the International Planned Parenthood Federation had lost its annual $8 million federal grant which it had used to promote abortion and contraception in Third [...]
Pro-family delegates effectively block contentious language rendering Beijing conference virtually impotent. At the conclusion of the New York Preparatory Committee meeting held March 15- April 7 in preparation for the UN Fourth World Conference on Women, the Draft Platform for Action is heavily bracketed. Square brackets around words in the text mean that there is no agreement of consensus; the bracketed sections [...]
A law which would allow Oregon doctors to administer lethal doses to end the lives of terminally ill patients remains on hold. Last November, this law, which would have been the first of its kind in North America, was narrowly approved by Oregon voters. However concerned citizens, including National Right to Life, have challenged the law as unconstitutional, claiming that that it [...]
The World Summit on Social Development, held in Copenhagen in March, was supposed to offer solutions to poverty, unemployment and social disintegration. Instead, the conference was hijacked by the population controllers who use every UN form to perpetuate their over-population myth. Leading the assault on people on this occasion was the official Canadian delegation, which attempted to force underdeveloped countries to implement [...]
The Canadians went to Copenhagen and told the starving children in underdeveloped countries: “Take the Pill, then we fund clean-water systems for you to swallow it.” What a disgrace. UN bureaucrats are alarmed that the richer nations like Canada are cutting back on their foreign-aid dollars. So they propose a levy on international transactions. Just sit back and think about the kind [...]
Queen’s Park Ont. Bob Rae has his sights set on destroying the Catholicity that remains in the Separate School system and most Ontario Catholics are sound asleep and totally unaware of the bomb ticking in their midst. A deal made ten years ago by a then-Liberal/NDP coalition government to ensure passage of a bill to give more equitable funding to Separate Schools [...]
In Alberta, the Committee to End Tax-Funded Abortions is working to stop the Alberta government from forcing its taxpayers to pay for abortions. Meanwhile, in Ontario, Henry Morgentaler is trying to convince the provincial NDP government to give him more money due to an increase in demand at his Ottawa clinic. This year alone, Canadian governments will pay out $30 million of [...]
NDP aftershocks will still be felt long after the party has faded into oblivion. As the deadline for the Ontario provincial elections draw nearer, the chill winds of change are blowing through Queen’s Park. The NDP is working furiously to provide itself a legacy so that when it is long gone as a political power in this province it will not be [...]
Floundering at the polls and desperate to enact popular legislation, the NDP has released its Royal Commission Report on Learning. The Interim’s education specialist takes a look at the underlying agenda of what could be Ontario’s last experience with Rae-inspired dogma Enough time has passed now for the Royal Commission Report on Learning to have had a chance to filter through the [...]
Attempts to settle the Ontario government’s suit against the pro-life movement have failed and the case will now go to trial. In August 1994, Justice George Adams issued a temporary injunction which placed restrictions on pro-life activities in front of 18 locations across the province. The Attorney General’s office, representing the abortion industry, has decided it is not pleased with Justice Adams’ [...]
Federal Health Minister’s crackdown on private health facilities leaves abortion clinics untouched. Early in January, two kinds of scandal concerning abortion clinics came to public attention. Federal Health Minister Diane Marleau announced that she was cracking down on private clinics which charge “facility fees”; they might be the beginning of a two-tier health system, she said, in which the well-off can get [...]
After decades of irresponsible governments frittering away billions of dollars, Canada has become one of the Western World’s most heavily indebted countries. Now we must begin paying for our fiscal sins and Finance Minister Paul Martin’s budget will be the first in a long run of penitential belt-tighteners. The days of government largesse are gone. Current wisdom says that government cuts will [...]
Abortion, Conscience and Democracy by Mark MacGuigan, 1994, Hounslow Press 165 pp, $16.95 Mark MacGuigan, Judge and Canadian Minister of Justice during the last years of the Trudeau era, has written a dandy compendium for Catholics seeking to assert their pro-life standing while publicly going along with relaxed abortion laws. In his recently published Abortion, Conscience & Democracy (Hounslow Press), MacGuigan sets [...]
Queen’s Park Ont. Yes! Somebody stole our car! It was the most annoying and frightening thing that has happened to me since Bob Rae got elected. They say a Republican is a Democrat who’s been mugged. Well I felt the same way when I discovered our ’93 Honda was missing. I was frantic! I was angry! I had almost persuaded to champion [...]
The American pro-life movement is hailing the Republican landslide in the November elections as a tremendous victory. For the first time since the fifties, the Republicans now control both House of Congress. I think that any serious look at the Republican Party platform will reveal that pro-lifers have nothing to cheer about. What the Republicans intend to do will dramatically increase the [...]
