“Prime Minister of Canada Edward VanWoudenberg said today…” Why not? Why not this remarkable gentlemen as the future leader of our country? Ed VanWoudenberg is from British Columbia and is one of the founders as well as the present leader of the newly formed federal Christian Heritage Party. I had the privilege of interviewing him recently in Toronto on his cross-country tour [...]
How Ontario Liberals have helped to undermine the family since 1985 Election Campaign. April 3, 1985 Peterson tells student he favours existing law (outlawing clinics.) but “is concerned that there is not enough access.” Liberals support OHIP payments for abortions and, if elected, would pay for travel costs, if there is no hospital within 300 KM (186 miles) of women’s homes. April [...]
Private citizens in Ontario and Quebec are seeking to have the abortion law enforced, and they are receiving markedly different reactions from the courts in those attempt. In Quebec, the courts have backed pro-life activist Reggie Chartrand in his attempt to prosecute privately a Montreal abortionist. At the same time, in Ontario, a Supreme Court judge has sided with Ontario’s Attorney-General Ian [...]
Prolifers may see little reason for optimism in the recent report on abortion in Ontario made by Dr. Marion Powell for the provincial government. In fact, however, by showing just how normally bankrupt the so called “pro-choice” position has become, the doctor will probably alienate far more people in her position than she will gain. The Powell report, reported and discussed elsewhere [...]
On January 29, 1987, Murray Elston, Health Minister of Ontario, tabled in the Ontario Legislature the report he had been expecting since last July. Authored by Dr. Marion Powell, the report is the answer to the government’s desire to open “clinics” for abortion and contraceptive counseling throughout Ontario and thus to “resolve” the Morgentaler issue. The Powell proposals boil down to four [...]
On January 15, 1987 Secretary of State David Crombie (PC, Toronto Rosedale) refused REAL Women a sustaining grant for operations of an office and office staff. The Tories have spent millions ($11 million in the past year alone) on annual subsidies to women’s groups, many controlled by pro-abortionist and pro-lesbian feminists. But they cannot find money [...]
It was truly ironic. During the Christmas season we celebrate the birth of a special Child, and many of us are blessed by having time to spend with family and friends. Just then, the nation’s newspapers covered the fight of the Alberta couple to save the life of their grandchild. As we all know, they lost that battle [...]

A veterinarian and veterinary surgeon, Gus Mitges was born in Greece and came to Canada at an early age. He grew up in Guelph, Ontario, where he completed his education at the University of Guelph.

The Law Reform Commission of Canada has issued a recently-completed paper on “Options for Abortion Policy Reform.” This study is the first step in a programme which will also include issues such as embryo experimentation, infanticide, genetic screening and in-vitro fertilization. It is expected that, by the winter of 1987, the Commission will issue “a report containing specific law [...]
The media blitz surrounding the Ontario legislative debate on Bill 7 (an amendment to the Ontario Human Rights Code naming “sexual orientation” as a prohibited ground of discrimination) last November and December downplayed the genuine concern of those opposed to the legislation that it would jeopardize such organizations as Big Brothers, and the rights of schools to refuse employment to [...]
All I wanted for Christmas was a licence plate. My own personalized licence plate. One that said “PRO-LYF.” I figured since the car was used for pro-life business 90 per cent of the time anyway it might as well say so. I also figured out that since Ontario will only let you use six letters in your licence plate that [...]
Much ink is being spilled in the provincial and national press about fewer abortions in Alberta. Headline seekers such as Henry Morgentaler have come to town (Calgary), officiously offering “help” to resolve the problem. Actually, there is no problem. Alberta Health Minister Mary Moore is merely enforcing the prohibition against extra-billing, refusing to allow exceptions for abortionists. He is [...]

The 120,676 petitioners request that the law concerning abortion be respected according to article 251 of the Criminal Code. They also ask that illegal abortion clinics [...]
