Regarding Peter McKay....
The uproar surrounding Peter McKay's alleged comment about ex-girlfriend Belinda Stronach would almost be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic. Today in the Winnipeg Sun, someone wrote in with the dire prediction that Mr. McKay's remark will "cost the Tories the Women's vote".
Exactly how this guy came up with this conclusion, I'm sure we'll never know! The vast majority of intelligent women see the Conservatives as the answer to Canada's problems of fiscal mismanagement and social disarray. This is just another example of Liberal desperation and floundering. They have absolutely no leg to stand on regarding ANY relevant issues, therefore they must make noise wherever and whenever they can.
At least the Conservatives cannot be accused of "dithering", like a certain EX-prime minister was a master of. They are not afraid to "call it like it is", and are taking a no-nonsense approach to governing our country.
As for Belinda being referred to as a dog, "If it walks like a duck, and acts like a duck...."

So the Court Challenges Programme has had its' funding cut....
This has been a controversial programme since its' inception. Court Challenges is a programme founded in 1973 under the Trudeau Liberals that has given millions of dollars to exclusively leftist special interest groups to make legal challenges to existing laws. While the CCP was originally billed as a funding source for dealing with language rights, the Court Challenges program quickly became a vehicle for activist organizations furthering social engineering goals.
Lifesite news reports that the Canadian Union of Public Employees is contributing funds to a campaign to “save” the controversial Court Challenges Programme. CUPE, which is Canada’s largest union, has consistently supported activist groups pushing for pro-homosexual and pro-abortion issues, using mandatory worker’s dues for funding.
Family News in Focus reported in 2004 that "while pro-life and traditional family groups were denied funding under the CCP, organizations challenging family autonomy through radical interpretation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms were consistently subsidized by the organization."
In 1993 the CCP was shielded from Access to Information legislation under the Liberals, effectively preventing an accurate accounting of where taxpayers’ money goes. The Court Challenges program was reorganized as a not-for-profit organization, completely independent of the government. Since then, the organization has not had to announce its funding grants or the criteria for its decisions. In its current form, the Court Challenges program is not subject to Access to Information laws or to Parliamentary review, great cause for concern, according to Justice Minister Vic Toews.
The two main beneficiaries of CCP funding--the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund and the homosexual activist group EGALE--are two of the most powerful lobby groups in the country. These are hardly representative of "the disadvantaged and vulnerable" that the Court Challenges Programme was intended to support.
The bottom line is that it is the taxpayer's money, yours and mine, that has been used for this programme. Bravo to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Treasury Board Secretary John Baird for standing up for ALL Canadians and finally eliminating the Court Challenges Programme. Please contact the above, and THANK them, let them know they are doing the right thing, and that they have the support of the majority of REAL Canadians!

Bravo for South Dakota!
Strong pro-life support is at work in South Dakota, as reported at www.lifesite.net. The following is an excerpt of their article, because, hey, they said it first and best, and why should I try to re-word it??
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. October 11, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – South Dakota’s prohibition on abortion, passed overwhelmingly in the state legislature and signed into law by Governor Mike Rounds, awaits a public referendum set for November 7th. In the meantime, the law – called by Rounds “a direct challenge” to Roe vs. Wade – is being supported by a strongly pro-woman campaign that points to the psychological and physical damage done to women by abortion.
Complaining that the pro-life supporters’ emphasis on the harm abortion does to women has disconcerted their strategy, Planned Parenthood of Minnesota and North and South Dakota is worried that the referendum is going to backfire.
Talking about the psychological and physical harms of abortion, “adds an element we're not accustomed to” Planned Parenthood president and chief executive Sarah Stoesz told the Los Angeles Times. “It's a different line of debate. And that is something we struggle with politically.”
So the pro-aborts aren't accustomed to addressing the "psychological and physical harms of abortion".... hmmm...maybe because it would cut into their profits too much if women actually knew the TRUTH!!!!
This victory is EXACTLY why it is so important to be ACTIVELY pro-life. It is NOT enough to be pro-life in values and beliefs. We are called to action! There is a quote, and I can't remember by whom (somebody help me out here) that says "All it takes for evil to flourish is a few good men to do nothing" - or something to that effect. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a paid membership to your local Right to Life group.
You may think it doesn't matter, but don't forget: numbers are everything to politicians and the media - it is much more impressive to say "we have a membership of 5000 who hold the same beliefs" than to go and say "well, we have 300 people belonging to our organization..." Who would you think has more clout? The time to act is NOW! If you do not have a membership in your local Life group (contact your local pro-life organization or CPC to find out where to sign up!) please get one! It is only because there are a large number of active pro-life people ACCOUNTED for in places like South Dakota that pro-life legislation can be passed!
Thanks, and God Bless....

Abortion-breast cancer link: important information....
This weekend I was very fortunate to attend a pro-life conference hosted by Campaign Life Coalition. The speakers were informative and engaging, particularly Dr. Clem Persaud, who spoke on the abortion-breast cancer link.
Dr. Persaud's research shows that every week, 429 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Canada, and of these 429, 102 women will die. 1 out of 9 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. If these numbers are correct, we should be doing everything in our power to lower all possible risks, particularly if the risks are within our control.
It is easy to understand the link between abortion and breast cancer, if one just takes a moment to logically think about it. As soon as a woman becomes pregnant, her body starts to change; estrogen levels rise dramatically. The cells in her breasts begin to multiply, due to the increase of estrogen. With a regular, uninterrupted pregnancy, the cycle of cell growth is naturally completed with the birth of the baby and the production of milk. When a pregnancy is UNNATURALLY ended through abortion, the cells that began to grow in anticipation of milk production multiply out of control - they go "haywire", hence, they have a much higher chance of becoming cancerous. There is, in fact, an increased risk of up to 30% for breast cancer after abortion.
The reason that miscarriages do not increase risk of breast cancer is because if a pregnancy is NATURALLY ended, the estrogen level is generally not high enough to either sustain the pregnancy or cause the same cellular changes to the breast.
Maybe this is over-simplified, but I find that when I explain it like this, most people understand, and can see how abortion does in fact increase a woman's risk of breast cancer.
A couple of great sources to check out: www.abortionbreastcancer.com, and www.abortionfacts.com for more information. Perhaps once more people see the link between abortion and breast cancer, organizations like the Canadian Cancer Society will be willing to publicize this as a very real risk.

Life Chain - great chance to witness!
Yesterday (Sunday, October 1st) was the Life Chain, held across Canada and the U.S. Here in Winnipeg, Campaign Life Coalition held the chain outside the Women's Pavilion Hospital, where some 3400 abortions are done each year. We had approximately 85 people in attendance; I thought a lot more could have come out, considering how beautiful a day it was...
People driving by were overwhelmingly supportive; many waved and honked in support. Only 4 dissenters - one was a young female, perhaps in her very early 20's, screamed "**** you!" at us as the car she was in raced by. How sad. So many "pro-choice" people preach tolerance, yet do not tolerate opposing views, and do everything to silence what they don't agree with.
Hundreds of thousands of women have been exploited by abortion, and millions of babies slaughtered, but we're not allowed to say anything, because "it's none of our business"!
It is great to see the positive changes coming about in the U.S.regarding the abortion laws; pray that our politicians will wake up and listen to the growing majority of people in Canada who respect Life and are working to put an end to the senselessness of abortion.
