New Brunswick: less births, more deaths

The culture of death is taking its toll on New Brunswick. With 87 fewer births but 124 more deaths, natural growth hit all-time low, plunging below 300. The proportion of children, teenagers and young adults continues to fall. The median age in the province reached 40.8 years (2 years older than the national average). Every third New Brunswicker is now over 50.

The plans to stimulate population growth through immigration failed miserably. While the province did attract 1387 immigrants (the highest immigration level in 25 years), this wasn't enough to offset the inter-provincial migration which cost New Brunswick 3,788 residents, among them - 230 earlier immigrants. Overall, as of July 1, 2006, New Brunswick population was estimated at 749,168 or 2,313 less than a year before.

There was however one thing the report didn't mention. Not a word was said about some 1000 unborn New Brunswickers that were sacrificed to a bloodthirsty idol named "women's right to choose". The report didn't warn that unless we stand up for fetal rights, deaths will soon outnumber births. Declining population was cited as nothing but a negative economic factor, one that will make it more difficult for the province's economy to reach the national average by 2026. Some expert on "self-sufficiency" would probably recommend spending more money on social housing and language training so more refugees could be brought in.

Well, I have a better solution. Bring in the culture of life! Teach our kids the sanctity of life instead of the supremacy of one's desires. Introduce our youth to Psychology and Socionics; teach them how to build a successful family, not how to have some dubious "fun" with fewest consequences. Make families a priority, not special interest groups...

And finally - use the not-withstanding clause to kick the Morguentaller's out of Fredericton. Ditto if the courts rule that New Brunswick must pay for abortions on demand. We have the tool, let's use it! The non-withstanding clause is nothing but a break pedal for our justice system so let's slam the breaks before the runaway truck of judicial activism runs over yet another hundreds and thousands of innocent babies.
