Toronto mayor’s race heats up
TORONTO – Barbara Hall is trying to regain the mayor’s throne, a position she lost in 1997 when Toronto was merged into one supercity. Hall is a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual radical and is supported by Kevin Bourassa and Joe Varnell, a homosexual couple lobbying for same-sex marriage rights. They helped stage a cross-country Feb. 14 publicity stunt wherein homosexuals applied for marriage licences at their local city halls. Her chief opponents are former Rogers head honcho John Tory, socialist city councillor David Miller and former MP John Nunziata, who is pro-life and pro-family.
Anglican priest quits over gay unions
VANCOUVER – Rev. Timothy Cooke, pastor of St. Martin’s Church, has officially quit his position over Bishop Michael Ingham’s decision to sanction homosexual unions. Cooke is on his way to a posting in Switzerland. “I resigned not so much because I would have to perform the same-sex union as much as the bishop and the synod are presuming to sit in judgement over scripture and Christian tradition, and also to unilaterally overthrow the consensus of the global Anglican communion,” said Cooke. St. Martin’s is one of eight parishes in the New Westminster Diocese protesting the decision to bless homosexual unions by withholding funds to the synod.
No jail time for killer mom
BRAMPTON, Ont. – A 15-year-old girl who stabbed her newborn baby 31 times with scissors has pleaded guilty to infanticide. She will undergo therapy, be propagandized on “sexuality and contraception” and perform 100 hours of community service. She was charged with murder after she killed the child immediately after giving birth on the bathroom floor of her parents’ house last year. The Crown asked for only a 30-day sentence, but Justice Steven Clarke accepted the plea to a the lesser charge.
Misconduct charges dropped against Christian MD
BARRIE, Ont. – Dr. Stephen Dawson, a Toronto physician with a family practice in Barrie, had misconduct charges dropped against him after refusing to prescribe birth control pills to unmarried women. Dawson said it violated his conscience to encourage premarital sex. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario threatened to remove his licence, but withdrew misconduct charges after reaching an agreement in which Dawson will advise his patients on this matter in advance by way of a notice on his office wall.
Taxpayers to cover prison sex-changes
OTTAWA – Justice Carolyn Layden-Stevenson of the Federal Court of Canada ordered Canada’s federal prison system (funded by taxpayers) to pay for sex-change operations for so-called “trans-sexual” inmates who request such procedures. Justice Layden-Stevenson said if medical opinion finds it necessary, it is an essential service as required under the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. She based her decision on the prevailing view in Canada that a patient can be “diagnosed” with “gender dysphoria,” the “medical” term for persons who believe they are the wrong sex.
Morgentaler vows more abortions
WINNIPEG – Not happy with the number of abortions he and his “facilities” are already committing, Henry Morgentaler has issued a vow to expand his “services” in Manitoba – and plans to take legal action against the province for its failures to do so. Canada’s abortion king claims Manitoba has violated the Canada Health Act, as well as the “spirit” of the 1988 Supreme Court decision, so he must step into the breach. There is speculation that his plans include the opening of a second abortuary in Manitoba. The already-existing one in Winnipeg was founded in 1988 and charges $500 for an abortion. Morgentaler was full of his usual bluster and blarney, bellowing that it was “hard to understand how a pro-choice NDP party has been manoeuvered into imposing ‘suffering and victimization’ of women by a small anti-choice faction in its midst.” The provincial health ministry said it had nothing new to say on the matter.
