(A4e2b3a) Canadian terrorist enablers

The Canadian Government is Canada's most powerful terrorism enabler. The federal government pays provincial governments to pay abortionists with tax dollars and has threatened provinces with financial loss should they refuse to do so. This puts the Canadian Federal Government close to the line, if not over the line which divides terrorists from their enablers. ******* CARAL, CIDA, LEAF, and NAC are 4 Canadian national anti life organizations. The first of the following articles is by Stephen Gray and tells how various Canadian anti life organizations are infiltrating and corrupting Canadian Catholic institutions. ******************************************************************************************************************** As of this date, 07-09-18, this folder contains 8 items. ******* item 1 THE UNDERMINING OF FAITH AND MORALS FROM WITHIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ******* item 2 THE NOT-SO-GREAT CANADIAN DIVIDE ******* item 3 SUPREME COURT OF CANADA VERSUS SURREY SCHOOL BOARD DECISION ******* item 4 IT'S TIME CANADA JOINED THE WAR ON TERROR ******* item 5 THE SAD SAGA OF BILL WHATCOTT ******* item 6 CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY AND EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH ******* item 7 WHAT THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY ISN'T TELLING ******* item 8 CANADIAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH ******************************************************************************************************** ******* item 1 THE UNDERMINING OF FAITH AND MORALS FROM WITHIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ******* From: "D.Fernandes" ******* To: "Frank Wagner" and "Janice McCabe" ******* Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 12:34:41 -0800 ******* For your info. ******* Deanna ******* -----Original Message----- ******* From: Stephen Gray [mailto:[email protected]] ******* The Undermining of Faith and Morals From Within The Catholic Church ******* By Stephen Gray ******* "One of the most ominous symptoms of decay in the Church today is the increasing acceptance of modern amoralism" ******* Dietrich von Hildebrand, writng in his book: "Trojan Horse In The City Of God." ******* For years people in the Catholic church have been writing letters and protesting abortion and homosexuality only to see their efforts undermined by other Catholics within the church. Some Catholics have even been persecuted and criticized by trade unions and special interest groups for standing up for their Catholic faith. The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops(CCCB) worked with some of these groups and unions. More on this later in the article. ******** The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace(CCODP) sometimes called Development and Peace solicits funds from the Catholic faithful and some of this money has been handed over to other organizations. One wonders how those unsuspecting Catholics feel about some of their "Share Lent" money being shared with radical groups. ******* Catholic Insight magazine, June 2001 issue, page 26, stated the following regarding CCODP: "On the heels of the revelation of its $135,000 donation to the World March of Women-2000 event last year, comes the news of a Catholic Development and Peace donation of $140,000 to the People�s Summit of the Americas held in Quebec City...." One wonders if there are other groups out there who have received money from Development and Peace. Perhaps it�s time this organization has had to detail where all its money has gone over the last number of years. ******* Regarding The World March of Women: Catholic Insight, June 2000 issue had this to say: "...the Canadian organizers were the the usual proponents of abortion, lesbianism and other feminist demands..." The National Post of May 15, 2000, stated: " The Canadian Women�s March Committee...includes abortion activist groups such as the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League." The Interim newspaper May 2000 issue had the headline on page 2: "March coordinator says pro-life groups not welcome." ******* The Catholic Womens League (CWL) which is supposed to uphold the teachings of the church made a submission to a government commmittee on so-called "same sex marriage" that undermines Catholic teaching. Life site news of April 16, 2003, stated that: "CWL National President Marie Cameron, who in her own presentation before the committee demanded the legal recognition of homosexual civil unions." Still the leadership of the CWL is no stranger to controversy. B.C. Report magazine of Aug. 26, 1996 had an article headlined, "No friend of Catholicism." The subject of the article was Hedy Fry who was "the federal minister responsible for the status of women" at the time and had been invited by the "CWL�s national executive" to address their convention. ******* The article went on to say: "Dr. Fry,... is a noted champion of pro-abortion and homosexual-rights policies, both of which explicitly contradict basic church doctrine." ******* Ms. Fry is also a supporter of same sex marriage and was on the committee hearing submissions on this insane proposal. One wonders if there is a virus out there eating brain cells. Why else would supposedly intelligent politicians be discussing such nonsense?! ******* In the annual report of the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women (CACSW), (1989-1990), its new president Glenda Sims had this to say: "the federal government, among others, has acknowledged that sexual orientation should be read into the general open-ended language of section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms..." and of course a judge did "read in" this a few years later. One is reminded of that old saying: Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. ******* Didn�t the politicians blame the judges for "reading in" sexual orientation? Yet Ms. Sims tells us "the federal government... acknowledged" it should be read in. Obviously there was discussion around this and it eventually came to fruition in the courts. This report goes on to say: "abortion is a health issue." One wonders when people began thinking pregnancy was a disease? A CWL member is listed as belonging and being a council member in this CACSW annual report. ******* Less anyone thinks this undermining of Catholic teaching is a recent phenomenon it is worth checking out the book " Behind The Mitre" by Tony Clarke. Mr Clarke was "social policy adviser for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops [CCCB] for 21 years." He was eventually dismissed. ******* We are told in his book page 101, how a "Social Solidarity project" was formed and "endorsed in principle... by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Canadian Labour Congress, the Confederation of Canadian Unions,... the National Action Committee on the Status of Women,..." and others. Which raises the question, why would the CCCB be endorsing or working with pro-abortion organizations like the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) or the National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC)? ******* The B.C. Catholic of Dec. 15, 1996 had the headline, "CCCB secretary defends NAC donation." The article says, "The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops gladly donated $2000..." to NAC for a "March against Poverty." Interestingly enough this march was also "co-sponsored by the Canadian Labour Congress." Trade unions have been financial supporters of NAC and many other groups over the years with their memberships compulsory union dues. In fact, the National Post of June 7, 1999, stated: "NAC expects to receive $741,692 in revenue next year, of which $642,892 is in the form of government and labour union grants as well as from direct mail campaigns..." ******* I headed an organization called Save the Union Movement and published a newsletter for 11 years, exposing the misuse of trade union time and money. The connections between the CCCB, trade unions and special interest groups a few years ago was quite common according to Mr. Clarke in his book "Behind The Mitre." In fact, the CCCB put out a pamphlet called "Supporting Labour Unions." On Feb. 22, 1994, I wrote the CCCB (at the time their Chairman was Bishop Faber MacDonald). I explained how trade unions were funding abortion clinics, homosexuality and other special interest groups and asked the CCCB to put out a pastoral letter informing Catholic union members about the misuse of their union dues. The CCCB would not do it, even though some Catholic union members had been persecuted for standing up for their faith and for speaking out against union support of abortion and homosexuality. Some had even spent their own money fighting the unions on these issues. ******* I had also written the CCCB as far back as 1992 when Archbishop Gervais was President, and was told: "The issue you raise is, of course, of great importance to Canadian society, and it will be given attention." The letter was signed by Msgr. James Weisgerber, General Secretary. I am still waiting for this "attention" from the CCCB. ******* I had also written Bishop Remi De Roo, and in a letter dated Jan.7, 1992, from his executive assistant these words were written: "Bishop Remi De Roo has asked me to acknowledge receipt of your Dec. 30th letter." 1992 was the year Bishop De Roo was addressing his union and special interest friends in Action Canada Network (see his quote later on in this article). Perhaps asking him to speak out was to near the mark as he was involved with these groups I was exposing. ******* I had also written Archbishop Ambrozic of Toronto, who wrote me on Sept. 16, 1992, and said: "I received the information you had sent me and apologize for my failure to acknowledge it. One reason for this failure is my inability to see clearly what can be done about it all and whether your prescription is the correct way to go about it." ******* I had also had a meeting in 1992 with Archbishop Exner of Vancouver and informed him about the trade unions involvement in abortion and homosexuality; I also had correspondence with him over a period of time. In one of my letters I informed Archbishop Exner that the B.C Federation of Labour had said that, "Public funds should not be used to finance private education or private institutions." Archbishop Exner in a letter to me of Nov. 14, 1992 said he "raised the concerns of the Save the Union Movement at the most recent Ecumenical Bishops meeting on October 19, 1992." The Archbishop wrote me on October 30,1993, and referred me to a Mr. Farrell who was Executive Director of Catholic Charities Central Office. I did meet with Mr. Farrell on Dec. 1, 1993. On Feb. 21, 1994, I had a phone call from Mr. Farrell saying that Archbishop Exner had written Archbishop Faber MacDonald of the CCCB with the concerns I had raised. All that was ever asked of all these Bishops was a pastoral letter informing Catholic union members of the misuse of their union dues or to speak out. Yet none of these Bishops would do it. Yet as I mentioned earlier, the CCCB has no problem putting out a pamphlet in support of unions but would not speak out when these same unions were involved in immoral activities. One wonders why? If the Bishops had had the courage to speak out and taken action and mobilized the Catholic faithful in 1992, would we have had the problems that we have today.... problems such as unions like the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW) interfering in Catholic education with the Marc Hall case, and unions objecting to a Catholicity clause at a Catholic school in B.C. ******* We can also see the undermining of Catholic beliefs in the affiliation of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) with the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC). (The affiliation was reported in the communist newspaper The People�s Voice April 1996 issue.) In fact the present Boss of the CLC, Ken Georgetti, sent out a letter soliciting funds for abortion clinics when he was president of the B.C. Federation of Labour (BCFL). He stated in this letter that "in a short time, funds have been raised to pay the down payment on the $237,000 medical clinic." He goes on to say: "the Executive Council urges all affiliates to send donations, consider loans or monthly pledges." The B.C. Coalition for Abortion Clinics stated in a brochure that " the B.C. Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress, along with other labour organizations have long supported women�s right to choice on abortion, free standing abortion clinics and medicare coverage for abortion." The Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics (OCAC) has also received money from trade unions. It is stated in the book, Social Movements, Social Change, The Politics and Practice of Organizing that "at various labour conventions in 1982 and 1983, OCAC activists were involved in garnering support for choice." This book also states that "many unions have contributed financial and material support to OCAC." Abortionist Henry Morgentaler, that great supporter of "freedom of choice" has also had his share of compulsory union dues. The book, The Charter of Rights and the Legalization of Politics in Canada, page 301, states that "... the Ontario Federation of Labour has donated thousands of dollars to the Morgentaler defence..." OECTA is also a member of the Ontario Federation of Labour. This makes catholic union members brothers and sisters in solidarity with abortionists, and of course their affiliation fees will help pay for the special interest groups funded by the CLC. ******* The radical feminists also boast about the power they have in trade unions. The book, Union Sisters states: "We have pushed unions to be more responsive to the needs and concerns of women; to fight on issues they have traditionally shied away from - issues like...support of lesbian and gay rights and abortion..." ******* B.C. Report magazine of April 10, 2000, page18, gives an example of these radical feminists in action. A group called "Collectif Autnome Feministe" were protesting in front of Cathedral of Mary Queen of the World in Montreal. They were protesting, "about the church�s anti-abortion , anti-sex-education, anti-homosexuality tendencies." The article goes on to say a number of people "entered the church. They spray painted �Religion a trap for fools� on the facade and �No Gods, no masters� on the altar itself. Condoms and underwear were strewn everywhere....Soiled tampons were stuck to paintings. The missal and two altar cloths were taken; hundreds of hymn books were shredded." The article also states, "The police will not say whether the vandalism within the church was connected to the protest by the Collectif..." ******* There is an old hymn called "Onward Christian soldiers marching off to war;" make no mistake, war is being waged in Canada today on Catholics and other Christians. Our schools, our beliefs, our churches are under attack and many of our Catholic and Christian leaders have fled the battlefield. This war is financed by our own tax dollars, our own compulsory union dues, some of our own church donations and some of our leaders are co-operating with the enemy. The weapons being used are the courts, so called human rights commissions, trade union bureaucracies controlled by special interests, and political parties with no principles. ******* One party the NDP has been the recipients of millions of dollars over the years in compulsory union dues; this is the socialists captive financial support base in this war. This is also the party that helped start the war on traditional family life. It led the charge for abortion and homosexuality and has been joined by most of the other political parties. ******* According to Statistics Canada, 1991 census, over 80% of the people in Canada claim Christian affiliation. If this is true, the time has come to get out of our pews and into our marching shoes. Nobody attacks our Jewish brethren with impunity. Why should we surrender to this virulent minority who are attacking all that we hold dear? Though it would appear some are not prepared to fight. ******* In fact, in a letter dated April 7, 1994 to Archbishop Exner of Vancouver, Bishop MacDonald stated, "Organizations like the Save the Union Movement May Well play into the Hands of Forces in Society that Favour Laissez-Faire Capitalism." He also says in this letter, "It needs to be stressed that every union measure supporting abortion or other activities offensive to Catholics was the result of a democratic vote of the membership." (the underlining was in the quote.) He goes on to say that Save the Union Movement "would in fact end up assisting the enemies of free trade unionism." Union dues are compulsory, as is membership, so "free trade unionism" is a misnomer. Also how can you have compulsory democracy? Bishop MacDonald also stated in his letter, "When this whole issue came up in 1985, the Social Affairs Commission of the Ontario Bishops debated it. At that time, the labour union advisers to the Commission advised against a frontal attack on the offensive resolutions..." The Bishops are supposed to be teachers of faith and morals yet they defer to "labour union advisers." All that was ever asked of the CCCB was to write a pastoral letter about unions supporting abortion and homosexuality. The question needs to be asked of the CCCB: just who is playing into "the hands of forces in society" by not speaking out when members of the Catholic faith are attacked for living up to their faith? Was it because the CCCB had already been a part of these union and special interest group projects? Were they already compromised and perhaps were now afraid to criticize trade unions and some of these special interest groups? Which makes one wonder, does solidarity come before morality? ******* Perhaps some in these coalitions would also point out the role of the CCCB in their "Social Solidarity project." For as Mr. Clarke writes on page 102, of "Behind The Mitre," "the Social Solidarity project provided a unique opportunity to forge links between progressive social movements in Quebec and the rest of Canada." The quote below by Bishop Remi De Roo shows that he was in favour of "developing alliances." ******* " it is only by developing alliances between people�s organizations and building a broad based social movement in this country that we have any chance of effectively replacing the corporate agenda with our own dynamic people�s agenda." ******* Bishop Remi De Roo quoted in Accent magazine March 1992. PEI, Union of Public Sector Employees. ******* Note: The bishop was speaking at an event sponsored by Action Canada Network (ACN) and the Canadian Labour Congress. ACN was a coalition of unions and special interest groups headed up by Tony Clarke. Mr. Clarke was chair of the ACN while he was still working for the CCCB. Many of these groups were pro-abortion and supporters of the lesbian and homosexual lifestyle. ******* Mr. Clarke states in the preface of his book: "As co-director of the social affairs department of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops from the late seventies to the early nineties, I was responsible for working with a team of bishops and staff in developing a plan of action for taking moral leadership [emphasis added] on national economic and social policy issues." Oh really? One would have thought only the Bishops would be in charge of "moral leadership." Instead Catholics had 21 years of Mr. Clarke helping with "moral leadership." ******* Mr. Clarke goes on to write in his book on page 102: "the Social Solidarity project helped to lay the groundwork for the building of a broad-based social movement..." The World March of Women consisted of some of these so-called "broad based social movements" including NAC and the CLC; this twosome pops up all the time. The March was also supported by the CWL. This was done by the CWL "without consulting its members."(Catholic Insight, page 7, June 2000 issue.) And of course the CWL never consulted its members when it made its submission to the committee on so called, "same sex marriage" but "demanded the legal recognition of homosexual civil unions" as stated earlier in this article. ******* Mr. Clarke has this to say on page 194 of his book regarding a "prophetic alliance," "the active participation of Development and Peace would be essential, not only because it has a relatively strong network of Catholic activists and significant resources for campaign activities, but for the key role it could play in forging active links with partners in Central and Latin America." Development and Peace obviously has "significant resources" when as mentioned earlier they contributed $135,000 and $140,000 to the World March of Women and The Peoples Summit of the Americas respectively. In fact Development and Peace had a Total Revenue of $23,870,755 for 2001-2002; this information comes from their own publication. ******* Mr. Clarke is now director of an organization called the Polaris Institute and his organization is a participating member of the Solidarity Network (www.solidaritynetwork.ca) as is Development and Peace. Other notable member organizations are: Canadian Religious Conference, National Action Committee on the Status of Women (NAC) and the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) - it seems you can�t have one without the other- a whole bunch of unions and other special interest groups, some of whom also receive government grants. It reads like a "whose-who" of the social and political left. Many of the groups listed are the same ones that were members of the ACN of which Mr. Clarke was chair. ******* The website states, "Our National Solidarity Assemblies and workshops bring together equality-seeking groups including public and private sector unions and Aboriginal/First Nations, anti-poverty, anti-racist, cultural, environmental, faith, farming, health, immigrant and refugee, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, peace, seniors and pensioners, students, women, and youth organizations." I wonder how many people out there know they are being counted as members. The website also states: "organizations are asked to commit monthly or annual financial contributions to the Solidarity Network..." Which raises the question: how much money, if any, has Development and Peace given to this Solidarity Network? Does the CCCB know, and does it condone Development and Peace associating and working with pro-abortion and pro-homosexual organizations? ******* "For thirty years pro-life activists have battled one government after another while a politically - correct Bishops� Conference remained silent. As for individual bishops, with very few exceptions they haven�t so much as dared question, let alone oppose, pro-abortion or pro-sodomite Catholic politicians and deny them Catholic institutional support." ******* Father Alphonse de Valk, writing in Catholic Insight magazine November 2000. ******* To the above quote by Father de Valk I would add trade unions and their special interest group allies. The Bishops haven�t dared question or oppose them either. In fact the CCCB gave them "institutional support." Could this be a case of "Solidarity Forever?" An editorial in Catholic New Times of October 5, 2003. had this to say about the CCCB statement on marriage: "The bishops' statement does not repeat Vatican language like 'homosexual practices are sins gravely contrary to chastity,'" the editorial goes on to say about homosexual relationships; 'Might this not be a road to holiness?' We have now reached a critical stage in this country where religious people are under constant attack and their beliefs trashed from within and without. The undermining of society and the anti-social agenda has also been achieved in big part by trade unions using compulsory union dues and special interest groups using our tax dollars; some of these groups also receive union funding. Their networks are extensive and their connections are interwoven. ******* Catholic politicians and other politicians seem to be afraid to stand up for what is right and put an end to this perversion of the system. Though there are a few exceptions among the politicians. ******* The question has to be asked: were some of our religious leaders and their organizations duped into consorting with some of these groups, giving some of them money and giving them legitimacy by taking part in their "Social Solidarity project"? Or were they in fact, in Lenin�s words, "useful idiots." Meanwhile, people who stood up for their faith got very little support, if any, from the CCCB and were hung out to dry as the saying goes. I myself spent 11 years and thousands of dollars of my own money fighting and exposing these injustices. Then I realised it was futile to ask the CCCB to take a stand for they were part of the problem. Answers are needed and perhaps even an inquiry on this undermining of faith and morals in the Catholic Church in Canada. ******* Stephen Gray ******* Nov. 15, 2003. ******* [email protected] website http://www.geocities.com/graysinfo ******* Some Info on the Author: Stephen Gray is a writer and researcher on various topics. He published a newsletter for 11 years exposing the misuse of trade union time and money. ************************************************************************************************************************* ******* item 2 THE NOT-SO-GREAT CANADIAN DIVIDE by John-Henry Westen ******* From: LifeSiteNews.com Special Report via "Robert Jason" ******* Thursday, 23 Dec 2004 ******* The smug self-righteous attitude Canadian liberals present to the United States, looking with disdain - and in some cases veritable hatred - at President George W. Bush and his supporters has raised the ire of Bill O'Reilly and many other US citizens. However, there remains a large minority, if not a small but silent majority, of Canadians who are not so far left of California that they'd drown in the PC Ocean. ******* Last Tuesday night I was a guest on Fox News' O'Reilly Factor to discuss the fact that Canada has become a 'haven for sexual predators of children'. Two weeks ago I was discussing with international anti-trafficking organizations why Canada has one of the worst reputations in the world in terms of leaving openings for the exploitive sex trade industry. ******* Despite the haughtiness, the nasty underbelly of the loss of morality in Canada has begun to show. ******* My last eight years of working as the editor of LifeSiteNews.com, the Canadian conservative online daily news service, has been a veritable daily catalogue of the ongoing moral collapse in Canada. ******* O'Reilly wanted to discus the fact that NAMBLA, the North American Boy Love Association, has two offshoots in Canada known as the Free Spirit organization and the Montreal Ganymede Collectif, both of which are housed in Montreal, Quebec. ******* NAMBLA and its Canadian counterparts, argue that men who desire to have sexual intercourse with young boys are nothing more than a group discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. That logic finds support in Canada where the term 'sexual orientation' and rights flowing from the concept have dismantled the traditional definition of marriage, have led to Christian mayors being fined for failing to proclaim Gay Pride Day, to a newspaper being fined for publishing a paid ad containing citations of biblical verses against homosexuality, a Christian printer fined and laden with huge legal costs for refusing to print material for a gay group and have led to a teacher being suspended for writing letters to the editor against homosexuality outside of school time. ******* CANADA A HAVEN FOR SEXUAL PREDATORS ******* Canada is singled out as a 'haven for sexual predators of children" in international reports. The Committee to End Child Prostitution, Pornography and Trafficking (ECPAT) slams Canada for having one of the youngest ages of consent for sex at 14 and for the country's lax child pornography laws. ******* Detective Peter Jupp a high-tech crimes police detective in our nation's capital has said, "That's the sick thing about consent laws in this country, it's considered illegal child pornography if the person in the picture is under 18, but it's legal for a 14-year-old-girl to go out and have sex with a 50-year-old man." In Canada you have to be 18 to buy cigarettes. ******* In Canada homosexual pedophiles get away with only a slap on the wrist as do child pornographers. ******* In a famous 1997 case, Maple Leaf Gardens employee Gordon Stuckless received a jail term of two years less a day for 24 counts of sexual abuse on boys aged 11 to 15. The first victim who testified against Stuckless, after years of psyching himself up for the ordeal, jumped off a bridge to his death just after the negligible sentence was announced. ******* In Canada you can get a longer jail sentence for torturing a dog than for raping a child. ******* CANADIAN CULTURE AND FREEDOM BEING "NICED" TO DEATH ******* Apart from the catalogue of moral disaster which could fill thousands of pages, the reasons for the rapid decline are to some extent due to silencing of the people and also lack of moral leadership. Another factor is that Canadians are so "nice" and often not willing to rock the boat about problems. Politicians, activists and wayward church leaders get almost everything they demand bacause most who know the truth are silent and afraid of offending. ******* Our Canadian culture and freedom are being "niced" to death by those who should be acting to stop the decline. ******* NO MAJOR CONSERVATIVE MEDIA ******* A large segment of Canadian society, perhaps just under half the population, is totally silenced by the oppressive socialist government and the lack of any major conservative media. ******* All our major broadcasters try to outdo each other shooting further and further from the left, especially when it comes to moral issues. The worst offender is our tax-payer supported national broadcaster CBC which, rather than representing Canadians broadly, presents some of the most biased coverage on its national television and radio networks. ******* We have no Fox News in Canada, although our media commissars tell us we will have access to it next year. Dr. Laura Schlessinger was kicked off the airwaves here for offending gay activists. ******* GOVERNMENT SILENCES OPPOSITION ******* In terms of politics, the power wielded by the Prime Minister�s Office forces politicians to vote the party line even on something as conscience-laden as same sex marriage. Unfortunately these politicians sadly go along and place party, careers and perks, ahead of conscience and the good of the nation. Despite promises of a free vote, half the Liberal caucus must support the bill to legalize same-sex marriage or face expulsion from cabinet or secretarial positions. Opposition bills on traditional marriage are not even afforded votes in the House of Commons but are deemed non-votable by Liberal-led committees. ******* The government officially silences opposition even outside the parties. During the last election when Calgary Bishop Fred Henry dared to speak out and tell those in his churches that the Prime Minister who claims to be a faithful Catholic is, because of his support for abortion and same-sex marriage, not a faithful Catholic, the Canadian equivalent of the IRS showed up to threaten him with the loss of his charitable tax status. Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and the Catholic Bishops conference were similarly warned. ******* LACK OF MORAL LEADERSHIP ******* One last reason why we are in such a mess here is the lack of moral leadership of the caliber found in the United States. We do not have here a Billy Graham, a Jerry Fallwell, a Chuck Colson or any equivalent of the late Cardinal O'Connor or some of the very outspoken U.S. Catholic bishops that were heard during the recent election. ******* The moral chasm between Canada and the US has widened under President Bush. The moral influence of a national leader on the citizenry has been recognized for centuries. Evangelists of old knew well that a country would soon follow its King to faith in Christ, therefore great effort was made to bring leaders to faith. The growing divergence in moral values between our neighboring countries seems to bolster the position. Everyone recognizes in President Bush a heartfelt Christianity which he practices without shame and which helps mold his policy decisions for the betterment of the US. In Canada, Prime Minister Paul Martin is a lapsed Catholic who, by his own admission, readily casts aside his faith when policy decisions which conflict with that faith are concerned. ******* However, with the enforcement of same-sex marriage on Canada by our unelected judges I have begun to see hope. Finally we are hearing some of the shepherds begin to speak out. Their voices must become much louder, and many more need to make themselves heard, and often. We need to defeat the Canadian loathing to be anything but politically correct. We need to have a conservative party in Canada that will stomach more than fiscal-conservatives and give voice to the millions of Canadians who still care for traditional values and know that they are key to a safe, and prosperous society. ******* John-Henry Westen, (BA, MA) lives near Ottawa Ontario with his wife and six children.

Gay activists will take maximum advantage of this ruling to promote their agenda in publicly funded schools. B.C. Parents & Teachers for Life will be putting out an Action Alert in the New Year and we do hope that all will respond to let the courts and our government know that the decision of an elected school board, should be respected. ******* Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and Peace in the New Year. ******* Deanna ******* Catholic Civil Rights League ******* 301-46 St. Clair Ave. East, Toronto, ON M4T 1M9 ******* 416-466-8244, Fax: 416-466-0091, [email protected], http://ccrl.ca ******* Supreme Court of Canada Trumps Views of Trustees in Assessing the Use of Gay-Positive Materials for 5 and 6 year old Children ******* The Catholic Civil Rights League is disheartened with today's decision of the Supreme Court of Canada to quash a resolution of the publicly elected Surrey School Board, which originally declined the use of three gay-positive children's books to be included as part of the family life curriculum for 5 and 6 year old students. ******* While purporting to recognize the multiplicity of religious and moral views held by families, the majority decision effectively trumps expectations of tolerance and equal respect to which religious parents expect from the publicly funded school system. ******* Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin compared the exposure to different family relationships, including homosexual partners, to choices students would be exposed to each day in food and clothes. The majority decision held that the school board's decision was unreasonable by allowing religious views of many parents to influence trustees to "trump" the need to show equal respect for values of other members of the community. ******* However, this reasoning fails to recognize that the allowance of such materials likewise offends others in a pluralistic society, who have reason to expect that their views will not be trumped by the promotion of gay parenting relationships by gay activist educators as normative. ******* While the decision acknowledges that faith beliefs can inform the highest morality, and that religious views cannot be excluded from the public square, a public school board's ability to act on such beliefs will be limited. The Court's decision places the rights of parents to be the primary educators of their children in jeopardy, especially in moral matters. ******* In the words of the dissenting voice of Mr. Justice Charles Gonthier: "It is not constitutionally mandated that five- and six- year old children be exposed to educational resource materials which portray parents in same-sex relationships." Many parents wish to teach "the subtle, but essential ... distinction between what may exist on the one hand, and conduct which may not be morally right on the other". ******* The Catholic Civil Rights League intervened in this appeal together with the Archdiocese of Vancouver, the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, and the Canadian Alliance for Social Justice and Family Values Association. ----------------------------------------------------------- Catholic Civil Rights League assists in creating conditions within which Catholic teachings can be better understood, cooperates with other organizations in defending civil rights in Canada, and opposes defamation and discrimination against Catholics on the basis of their beliefs.

Count on the fact these charitable arms were funneling money back to the terrorist arms, who were attacking and murdering innocent people. It was a ruse, and most other civilized countries like the U.S., Britain and Israel knew it. ******* Canadian governments evidently thought they knew better, and didn't stop the growth patterns of these terrorist groups for years. This provided ample time for the terrorists to recruit new members, and lay the groundwork for the establishment of new cells in Canada. ******* Yes, Ottawa finally banned some (but not all) of these groups and froze their assets. But by that point, it was too late. Canada had already become a safe haven for terrorists. ******* It got so bad that the U.S. Library of Congress issued a report last year stating: "Canada has played a significant role as a base for both transnational criminal activity and terrorist activity." This was thanks to our immense welfare rolls, coddling of criminals and especially our lax immigration and refugee policy. ******* It's easy for would-be terrorists to gain entry into Canada, and even citizenship, since we don't have intensive background checks or detain refugee claimants with suspect records. ******* State subsidies ******* Once these folks get in, they can collect welfare and other state subsidies to fund their anti-western, anti-democratic, and anti-Judeo-Christian campaigns. ******* Many of them cross the Canada-U.S. border, carrying everything from illicit drugs to illegal weapons. And if the terrorists ever get caught -- and many simply disappear once in this country without a trace -- they know they probably won't have to serve much jail time. ******* Ahmed Ressam is one well-documented example of a terrorist living in Canada. He's an Algerian who came here on a fake French passport in 1994. He requested political asylum and hid from the authorities for years. He lived in a Montreal apartment building that was identified as the home of an al-Qaida cell. He's just been sentenced in the U.S. for his attempted terrorist attack on the Los Angeles International Airport in 1999. ******* Do you really think we are safe from terrorism because you live in Canada? Think again. ******* We can't ignore the impact of a terrorist attack or suicide bombing because we don't live in Madrid or Tel Aviv. If there's one thing that terrorist attacks like 9/11 in New York and 7/7 in London have taught us, it's that every city in the western world, including Toronto, is a potential target. ******* There are ways for Canada to contribute to the war on terrorism. We must work hand-in-hand with the U.S. to establish tougher border security and join the missile defence shield. ******* We must have stricter immigration and especially refugee laws and background checks. We must have an active military presence in the fight against terrorism, and against totalitarian regimes that support terrorists. ******* One thing is for certain. If Canada doesn't help bring down terrorism, then the terrorists will eventually bring us down. ******* And we do not want that on our conscience. ******* � Taube is a Toronto-based public affairs analyst and commentator.

I was working on my defense today and I remembered receiving an e-mail some months ago that the University of Calgary discriminated against the Genocide Awareness Project and prohibited them from showing their displays on campus. If anyone has information on this occurrence I would be very grateful if they would share it with me. I am certain this evidence will be useful to my defense. Seeing as the time is drawing near for my trial I would like to ask for prayers on my behalf and for the little babies who are slaughtered directly and indirectly by Planned Parenthood. ******* Sincerely Bill Whatcott, Executive Director Christian Truth Activists ******************************************************************************** ******* item 6 CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY AND EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH ******* The following articles shed light on the society's involvement in embryonic stem cell research. ******* www.lifesite.net/ldn/2005/apr/05042512.html ******* www.religioustolerance.org/res_stem7.htm ******* http://www.cmaj.ca/cgi/content/full/166/8/1077 ******* http://www.cbc.ca/story/news/national/2002/03/04/stemcells020304.html ******* http://www.mult-sclerosis.org/news/Mar2002/CanadaAllowsEmbryoStemCellResearch.html ******************************************************************************* ******* item 7 WHAT THE CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY ISN'T TELLING CBC's Wendy Mesley could be killing Canadian women ******* From: Maurice Vellacott, MP Saskatoon-Wanuskewin via his Assistant 1 via Robert A. Jason ******* Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2006 ******* OTTAWA – “If the Canadian Cancer Society is not telling Canadians the truth about the birth control pill’s link to breast cancer, what else is the Canadian Cancer Society withholding?�? asked MP Maurice Vellacott, commenting on CBC reporter Wendy Mesley’s documentary, “Chasing the Cancer Answer�? which aired recently on CBC’s Marketplace. ******* Pathologist Dr. Samuel Epstein, a professor at the University of Chicago and author of the book, Cancer-Gate: How to win the losing cancer war, told Mesley that Canada is in a cancer epidemic and the Canadian cancer establishment is not informing Canadians about the vast body of information on the avoidable causes of cancer. ******* When asked about the birth control pill, Dr. Epstein told Mesley, “The pill is the largest unregulated human trial that’s ever been conducted.�? The World Health Organization issued a press release in July 2005 stating that the birth control pill is carcinogenic and slightly increases the risk of cervical, liver and breast cancer. When questioned why this updated warning was not passed on to Canadian women, Barbara Wylie of the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) told Mesley, “I’ll have our folks take a look at it, Wendy.�? ******* “In the interests of women, I hope the Canadian Cancer Society will also take a look at another risk factor for breast cancer, and a preventable one at that,�? Vellacott said. “Induced abortion.�? Since 1957, evidence linking induced abortion to breast cancer has been observed in over 40 studies worldwide. ******* A 1996 meta-analysis conducted by Dr. Joel Brind, professor of endocrinology at Baruch College, City University of New York, established abortion as a significant independent risk factor for developing breast cancer. (See www.abortionbreastcancer.com, www.abortionbreastcancer.ca, and www.bcpinstitute.org; also see Dr. Brind’s Dec. 2005 critical review of all the recent studies over the last 9 years at http://www.jpands.org/vol10no4/brind.pdf; to reach Dr. Joel Brind, email: [email protected] or phone: (732) 356-0770.) ******* “In the interests of women’s health, I have previously corresponded with the Canadian Cancer Society on this issue, but they refused to take a serious look at the relationship between abortion and breast cancer as I requested,�? Vellacott said. ******* The Canadian Cancer Society’s website claims that scientific evidence does not support the relationship between abortion and breast cancer. ******* “There is not only strong epidemiological evidence to support the link, but also a very plausible biological basis for it as well, according to Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School,�? said Vellacott. “It has to do with the natural maturation process of breast cells during pregnancy,�? Vellacott explained. “When a woman becomes pregnant, changes occur in the breast tissue cells in preparation for lactation—the cells multiply rapidly and become susceptible to cancer due to the large amounts of estrogen present during early pregnancy. But as the pregnancy is allowed to continue past 32 weeks, the cells undergo another change which causes them to mature into milk-producing cells resistant to cancer. So when a pregnancy is abruptly terminated during an induced abortion, the maturation process is halted and the immature cells remain in the cancer-vulnerable state.�? (Contact Angela Lanfranchi, MD FACS at [email protected] or (845) 452-0797 for a detailed explanation of this process.) ******* According to the Canadian Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian women and an average of 102 Canadian women will die of breast cancer every week. According to the Breast Cancer Society of Canada, “The cause of breast cancer is unknown and cannot be prevented.�? ******* According to Dr. Epstein, we are waiting until people get cancer, then we try to treat it. In 2006, cancer drugs will be the fastest growing class of pharmaceuticals in the world, exceeding $37 billion in sales. ******* Vellacott asks, “Why will the Canadian Cancer Society not take an objective look at what the research says about the link between abortion and breast cancer if they’re serious about prevention?�? Dr. Epstein accuses the cancer establishment of “damage control�? (screening, diagnosis, treatment) rather than prevention. Vellacott notes that pharmaceutical companies don’t make money by preventing cancer. ******* The Canadian Cancer Society spends only 10% of its budget on cancer prevention, according to the Marketplace Documentary. Vellacott asks, “I wonder how much money the Canadian Cancer Society is receiving from pharmaceutical companies? I hope that the cancer establishment does not let interests other than women’s health dictate its business.�? ******* For additional comment from Maurice Vellacott call 613-992-1966 or 613-297-2249 ************************************************************************************************************ ******* item 8 ******* CANADIAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION SUPPORTS EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH - By John-Henry Westen?******* TORONTO, August 23, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An official response from the Canadian Diabetes Association indicates the funding organization is in complete support of using human embryos in destructive research. ?******* The Canadian Diabetes Association is the country's foremost organization disseminating information to Canadians on the disease. Its mission is to "promote the health of Canadians through diabetes research, education, service and advocacy." The Association distributes government funding to researchers ?******* A reply to a query by LifeSiteNews.com elicited an emailed response from "Susan" at the Canadian Diabetes Association Contact Centre who said that the Association "does not currently fund embryonic stem cell research" as of 2004-5.?******* "All stem cell work funded by the Association is with cells derived from non-embryonic tissues." Susan specified the promise shown by transplant research using pancreatic islet cells as an example of adult stem cell research in diabetes. This treatment involves, however, replacing a patient's islet cells with differentiated donor cells, not stem cells. ?******* Susan went on to write that while the Association "recognizes the need to be respectful of the varying perspectives held by the Canadian public on this sensitive issue," it supports the "Canadian government's direction" on the use of embryos in research. ?******* Canadian legislation, passed in 2004, was vigorously opposed by pro-life groups, ethics experts and numerous researchers because it allowed the use of live human beings at the embryonic stage for experimental research which ended their lives as well as failing to effectively prohibit human cloning for research. ?******* Susan writes that the Diabetes Association will follow the guidelines laid out by the legislation. "Any future embryonic or stem cell related research applications to the Association will be required to meet the requirements of the Act Respecting Assisted Human Reproduction and Related Research."?******* A similar response was made in March 2002 by the Canadian Cancer Society which said it would support the then-new guidelines from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the federal funding agency which permitted experimentation on human embryonic children.?******* The Cancer Society stated at the time, "The Canadian Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) fully support, and will implement, the human embryonic stem cell research guidelines announced today by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research at a media conference in Ottawa."?******* In 2005 the Canadian Cancer Society granted $611,000 to fund Dr. Juan Carlos Z��iga-Pfl�cker of the University of Toronto to attempt to produce white blood cells from embryonic stem cells.?******* To contact the Canadian Diabetes Association with concerns:?Canadian Diabetes Association, 1400-522 University AVE, Toronto ON M5G 2R5, 416 363-3373, 1-800-226-8464, [email protected]?******* See LifeSiteNews.com's list of Canadian Charities that support embryonic stem cell research. ******************************************************************************************************** *******************************************************************************
