Sonny Bono’s election to the House of Congress was only one of the many surprises of the wild November 8 U.S. mid-term elections. Another was the landslide victory by the pro-life candidates who dominated Congressional Senate and Gubernatorial votes which all but wiped out any gains the Democrats had previously made. Just two years ago it looked like Americans had given President [...]
Bob Rae has been listening to the gambling fraternity and the mob for too long now, may be in over his head. Rae couldn’t even control a little flea-bit of a Toronto charity casino that went belly-up a few months ago. How is he going to look after the big boys when they yawn in his face about complaints that they’re dealing [...]
When we close the book starting from the beginning, it is certain that the pro-life movement will have its place as one of the most noble responses in the history of mankind. It will be seen as a true grassroots movement of men and women who continued to make one simple statement – “Abortion kills babies.” We all know what abortion does [...]
I read a write-up in the paper recently about elderly people in Holland who are now wearing buttons saying: ‘Please don’t kill me’. I expect that we pro-lifers may soon be parading up and down in front of hospitals with signs reading: ‘Euthanasia kills old people’ and ‘Please don’t kill my granny’ and ‘Don’t drink that orange juice, mother, it ain’t what [...]
Ottawa. A pretty downtown section of Ottawa will never be the same – Henry Morgentaler has moved into the neighbourhood. Bank and Sparks Streets, a popular Ottawa tourist spot replete with boutiques, restaurants and cafes, now has its own Morgentaler franchise. On October 13, in a move which surprised few, Morgentaler and the government of Ontario announced the site of his new [...]
However unintentionally, it has given the impression that the law enforcement arm of the Government can be used to enforce a partisan political purpose” (Steven Owen, Globe & Mail, August 25, 1988). “The rule of law in a democracy requires the public’s ongoing consent and confidence in order to survive. Any widespread unease with the essential fairness of our justice system can [...]
I got a call from Premier Don Pennell last week. I barely had recovered from celebrating the upset victory of the Family Coalition Party in the recent Ontario election that reduced the NDP to enough members to play a game of chess. I offered my congratulations to Don and reminded him that I supported him dutifully (and every other off-the-wall pro-life initiative [...]
A mother of five whose children were attending Catholic schools in Toronto told me this true story at a recent meeting of school officials. A teacher in the gifted program one day had the grade eight class sit in a circle on the floor and had them pass a small rock from hand to hand, telling the rock how they felt. They [...]
Twenty-five years after the criminal act of abortion was given a government stamp of legality by then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Justice Minister John Turner, the Liberals met in Ottawa at their biennial Convention. A number of pro-life Liberals became delegates for the mid-May convention in order to remind fellow Liberals of the country’s 25 year legacy of abortion. These same [...]
I thought I should have a meeting with an NDP member because I had written so many horrible things about them and possibly I didn’t understand their position on killing off the unborn, the handicapped (like Sue Rodriguez) and any old people who golfed over 120. (Their score not their age). I was able to obtain a meeting with “Shamus McGroarty,” a [...]
George Mammoliti, the Ontario New Democrat MPP who ed the opposition to Bill 167, the NDP’s attempt to legislate same-sex benefits, has received hundreds of phone calls and countless pieces of hate-mail over his stance. Many of the comments have been racially charged, calling him a “wop” and telling him to “go back to Italy.” “I think I’ve been called every name [...]
Recently, I was trapped in an elevator at the Ontario legislature with Marion Boyd and a posse of NDPers. I barely survived with my sanity. (At least I think I did, editor). The occasion was a buck and doe celebrating the surprise marriage of MPP Shelley Martel (she of the lie detector test) and rabid hockey player and part-time cabinet minister, Howie [...]
The United Nations’ agenda is promoting the early creation of a New World Order which many legal and political analysts fear means a One World Government, under the authority of the UN. Before this idea is dismissed as alarmist it would be wise to not that, under various UN treaties and covenants, Canada’s rights as a nation, and parents rights under Canadian [...]
The Clinton Health Plan sounds like a good idea. But to many pro-lifers in the U.S. the plan is a fine idea twisted to meet the ideological world-view of its framers. Many of its problems are hidden from the general public, say experts from the pro-life side, through the Health Care Plan’s sheer immensity and complexity, and because of a wish on [...]
Despite strong objections from local pro-lifers, the provincial NDP member from Durham York has been admitted to the St. Joseph Council of the Knights of Columbus. In his screening interview, Larry O’Connor claimed he was “pro-life” but that “he had to go along with (the pro-abortion stance of) the party.” O’Connor also supports the controversial legislation which would give benefits to same-sex [...]
