Part one of two parts "I ask you now to welcome a man who knows all about the warfare in our present society and who depends on Divine Power to overcome the enemies of life, Congressman Henry Hyde." Thank you Dr. Brown for the extravagant (but I enjoyed it) introduction. Every once in awhile someone reads that introduction, that biographical material, and [...]
On 29 February 1984 Pierre Trudeau resigned as leader of the Liberal Party. Newspapers, having expected the decision for some time, at once published their assessment of the career of the man who, except for nine months in 1980, has been Prime Minister of Canada since April 1968.Most recognized that Pierre Trudeau's role had been a major one. First place was given [...]
It was an historic election with many significant developments for the pro-life cause. For the first time since the present abortion law came into effect in 1969, to be publicly pro-life was a political asset for candidates. Indeed, to be seen as not being pro-life was politically damaging. In some ridings the pro-life vote was the deciding factor. John Oostrom (PC Willowdale) [...]
Ever since Henry Morgentaler announced in the fall of 1982 that he intended to open an abortuary in Ontario, he stated on many occasions that "no jury will convict me." However, on July 20th, when he held his press conference following the decision of Mr. Justice Parker of the denial of the motion that the abortion law was unconstitutional, Morgentaler altered his [...]
The election is over. The Liberals have been defeated. For the first time since 1896 the Conservatives have emerged from being a regional party to a truly National party with a bilingual leader and the return of Quebec to its fold. The New Democrats held their own, staying almost unchanged in number of seats, but with a shift of strength from the [...]
With the election campaign in full swing, I am heartily sick of the slogans, "women's issues," and "gender gap." Unfortunately, they are the kind of buzz-words which will stay with us for a long time. The two slogans are, of course, intertwined, and I'm surprised that no-one -male or female - has protested the insult implicit in the slogans. First, the term [...]
It is very difficult to imagine what one isn't! But I am going to try just for a few moments. Act I - The Atheist I am an atheist and in the coming election I want to vote for what is best for Canada. I'm not emotionally attached to any of the three parties so, in practice, I am reduced to looking [...]
Abraham Lincoln, a great American president, had a simple but profound formula for government in a free society. "...government of the people, by the people, for the people." All freedom-loving Canadians concur with Lincoln. It is a formula that works. But it must be won and kept with determination, sacrifice, and eternal vigilance. How do we rate as a free nation? All [...]
Ed Broadbent - NDP Ed Broadbent has supported abortion on demand throughout his political career. Henry Morgentaler has defied Canadian law for at least 12 years with his unauthorized and illegal clinics. In the House of Commons Ed Broadbent has consistently supported motions or declarations favouring Henry Morgentaler and he has opposed government measures to uphold Canadian law against the Montreal abortionist.

Joe Borowski, on his way to Australia for pro-life meetings, stopped into Vancouver on Friday August 3, long enough to stage a protest in front of Iona Campagnolo's North Vancouver campaign headquarters. The protest attracted 95 pro-lifers handing out leaflets to passers-by and to hear Mr. Borowski's speech. Iona Campagnolo had been scheduled to be at her office all afternoon, but when [...]
There is no issue in this or any other election which is more important than that of the protection of all human life. Any candidate, of whatever party, who is not ready to defend the 'personhood' and the right to life of any one, of any age (from conception to natural death) of any race, of any condition, is much too dangerous [...]
Many people are concerned that governments should not be selected on the basis of one issue only. Editors, journalists and media commentators in general are drilling into people's heads that they must not submit to "pressure groups" or "special interest" faction in supporting a candidate for political office. While there is some truth in this position, it is only a partial one. [...]
Although I am the founder of the NDP in Thompson, Manitoba, and a former cabinet minister in the Manitoba NDP government under Ed Schreyer, today I feel nothing but contempt for Mr. Broadbent and his Party's policies. Their agenda is rife with anti-family, anti-life proposals, e.g. decriminalization of illegal drugs, legalized prostitution and, worst of all, a declared open-season for the killing [...]
