March For Life. Ottawa. 2012

Check out SoCon or Bust for coverage:

While some media sources dispute the turnout numbers, arguing whether it was 19,500 or just 10,000, what is obvious to all - the March for Life has become the largest annual protest in the capital. Like it or not, the abortion debate goes on:

Asked about a motion put forward by one of his backbench MPs to examine the issue, using science, of when life begins, Harper said he would not vote for the motion and he was disappointed it was even discussed in the House of Commons.

Heaven forbid our MPs debate something as insignificant as when life begins.

Despite all this, a crowd of 15,000 or more, and organizers do claim more, paraded from Parliament Hill through the streets of Ottawa.

These were normal people, young and old, from all walks of life who just wanted to make sure their voices were heard.

Unfortunately in too much of our media, the only time the voices of pro-lifers are heard is when there is an attempt to use them.

Here in New Brunswick, the March for life is this Thursday.

Government Schools Are A Cancer

Allan Hunsperger, a controversial Wildrose candidate in the past election, sure knew what he was talking about when he said that Christian educators can't partner with public education because public education is godless.

Dalton McGuinty and his caucus are fast-tracking this so-called "anti-bullying legislation" in the Ontario Legislature in order to have these policies put into place in all public and Catholic schools as of September, 2012, just a few short months from now. Similar legislation will be enacted in Alberta following the recent re-election of the Progressive Conservatives, and either has been or will be enacted in every province and territory of Canada in the very near future.

This is not anti-bullying legislation so much as it's an effort to silence those who do not affirm or celebrate homosexual behaviour. The wording of the legislation is extremely clear, those who adhere to biblical truth will be silenced, and mark our words, the Bible itself will inevitably be banned or reworded to reflect the humanistic faith of those who have been strongly pushing this agenda.

Christian parent, what fellowship hath light with darkness? Where in the Word of God will you find support, either direct or implied, for sending your children to be taught of those who despise Him and His Word? Are diplomas and degrees more important to you than the truths of God's Word?

We exhort you, remove your children from public schools and educate them at home or send them to a Christian school. Public schools are nothing more than indoctrination camps, teaching a false gospel, this legislation is proof positive of that.

There's more on that on the Christian Governance website. Judge for yourself if Allan Hunsperger was right.

Defending Life On Campus

Starting a pro-life group on campus despite the opposition from the "student union" - Shane Westin, vice president of the UNB Students for Life shares his experience at the Sussex Area Right to Life fundraiser. Again, please excuse the shaky picture.

Prolife Letter Writing Campaign

As the Parliament is about to begin debating Motion 312 (the one that challenges the current definition of a human being,) Letters4Life has launched a campaign to send 100,000 pro-life letters to the Prime Minister, voicing our opposition to abortion.

In Canada we have a law (Section 223 of the Criminal Code) stating that the unborn are not human beings until they have proceeded entirely from the mother's womb. This means that even if the little toe of the baby remains in the birth canal, it is still not considered a human being and can be killed with no consequences whatsoever.

MP Stephen Woodworth has proposed Motion 312, to open the discussion about the humanity of the unborn. This would mean a possible reconsideration of this outdated law that was first enacted 400 years ago in British common law. Please support this motion to recognize children in the womb as human beings! Write your letter(s) today.

In Canada alone, 100,000 unborn children are aborted every year. Around the world, one child is killed every three seconds.

Please take a few minutes to write your letter for life.

Courageous Manhood: A Titanic Virtue

From the Titanic 2012 conference website:

One of the most well-known phrases associated with the sinking of the Titanic is "Women and Children First."

COURAGEOUS MEN stepped aside to certain death in order to allow women and children onto the lifeboats first. This event powerfully represents the principle of Biblical manhood for all the world to see.

This was a testimony to the fact that a person's beliefs and worldview matter - and a testimony to the cultural implications of Christianity.

Did you know that the Japanese Ambassador at the time wrote to the American President and told him that if the Titanic had been a Japanese ship, the outcome would have been very different? Why? Because, in that culture, men were most important, followed by children, and lastly women.

Yes, Christian faith and the Christian religion have unique real-world implications for justice and mercy and the glory of God - and for COURAGEOUS MANHOOD.

---

The Courageous Manhood Titanic 2012 conference and banquet is ChristianGovernance's second annual Biblical worldview event. The banquet is also a fundraiser for ChristianGovernance.

ChristianGovernance is a teaching and training ministry in Biblical worldview and apologetics.

The theme of this year's Biblical worldview banquet is COURAGEOUS MANHOOD. That is why we are highlighting the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

Those who have a bias against traditional Judeo-Christian values, can compare the actions of the crew and the passengers of the Titanic with what took place 100 years later, on board of the Costa Concordia. And judge for themselves if those social changes that they tout as progress, have really made our society any better - or if the result is just the opposite.

Human Achievement Hour

"Earth hour" is a scam. Instead of sitting in the darkness - let's celebrate light and human achievement.

Invasion Of Our Homes And Schools

Bad news from coast to coast. As if Ontario with what they portray as "anti-bullying" measures, Quebec with its mandatory "world religions" course or BC, with it's "corren agreement" weren't bad enough, we have similar developments from Newfoundland, Manitoba and even... Alberta. The latter is willing to offer no exemptions even to homeschoolers:

EDMONTON, Alberta, February 23, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Under Alberta’s new Education Act, homeschoolers and faith-based schools will not be permitted to teach that homosexual acts are sinful as part of their academic program, says the spokesperson for Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk.

“Whatever the nature of schooling – homeschool, private school, Catholic school – we do not tolerate disrespect for differences,” Donna McColl, Lukaszuk’s assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening.

“You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction,” she added.

Reacting to the remarks, Paul Faris of the Home School Legal Defence Association said the Ministry of Education is “clearly signaling that they are in fact planning to violate the private conversations families have in their own homes.”

Yes, there's still hope that Alison Redford's government won't be around for much longer. Still, the trend is alarming - to say the least:

February 24, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The great English writer G.K. Chesterton once wrote: “The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.”

But if what Chesterton says is true, then Canada fails the test, because the Canadian family is no longer free.
...
The only difference between the totalitarianism of other regimes and the totalitarianism being imposed by the Canadian provinces is that the Canadian breed of totalitarianism is couched in the Orwellian doublespeak of “tolerance,” “multiculturalism,” and “diversity.” But simply because the language is new and more soothing does not make the reality any less frightening.

And, by the way, in less than 2 months, Canada will celebrate 30th anniversary of The Charter. You know, the one that replaced the old Bill of Rights, with the stated objective to better protect our rights and freedoms. Well, now we can see for ourselves how much of a success it was...

Happy Diamond Jubilee Your Majesty!

H/t Graham J Sproule @ Canadian Conservatives

P.S. Check out this picture. Yes, I'm talking about Canada's $20 bill, issued in 1935. It's probably obvious whose portrait this is. But who could have thought back then, (about 2 years or so prior to her uncle's abdication) that this 9 year-old princess would inherit the throne and become one of the longest reigning monarchs?...

Happy diamond jubilee Your Majesty! And many more :)

Canada: Our Home And UN Land

Check out this article by Brian Lilley:

Earlier this week Canada kicked out a Rwandan man accused of helping instigate the genocide in his homeland almost 20 years ago, but if were up to the mandarins at the United Nations, Leon Mugesera would still be on Canadian soil.

Despite being found inadmissible to Canada in 1995 by a Liberal cabinet minister, deemed inadmissible by the Supreme Court in 2005 and having lost all of his appeals, the UN stepped in to protect the accused war criminal.

The international body wanted its decisions to supersede Canadian law and courts, and have their people determine when and if we could boot him back to Kigali.

I think most Canadians would find it ridiculous that the UN, the body that told its peacekeepers to stand by and let the Rwandan genocide happen, would intervene to protect a man accused of instigating the mass slaughter.

This isn't the first time the UN has tried to take control of Canadian decision-making.

Interestingly enough, all those who cry foul about Harper allegedly "selling out Canada to the US", tend to turn a blind eye at all the "progressive" politicians who want to cede Canadian sovereignty to the UN and the UN-run international bodies, such as the IPCC.
