Canadian Election 2004 Buzz - June 29

* See LifeSite's Election 2001 Analysis. Notable is that many things said then can once again be said of the 2004 election. The Conservative (Reform, Alliance) Party strategists' repeated strategy of running away from the social issues has hurt them badly again and again and....

* All the pro-life Conservative MPs were re-elected and additional pro-life Conservative candidates were elected. Numbers on this are not yet finalized but the propaganda that being pro-life, pro-family is a handicap was trashed yet again by reality.

* All but two of the outspokenly pro-life Liberals were re-elected, with huge margins. Being openly pro-life and pro-family with the voters and opposed to their leader's totalitarian policy did not hurt them the slightest at the polls. Many of the Conservative candidates, the same as many of the failed predecessor Reform/Alliance candidates, once again ran away from telling the public their positions on life and family. Hence, voters were easily manipulated, again, to believe false charges of "a hidden agenda".

* Pro-Life Liberal MP Yanko Peric was defeated by pro-life Conservative Gary Goodyear in the Cambridge riding. Pro-life Liberal MP John O'Reilly was defeated by CPC Candidate Barry Devolin who was rated as "not pro-life".

* The replacement candidate for retired pro-life Conservative Elsie Wayne was defeated by a pro-life Liberal.

* 123 CPC candidates did not complete the CLC questionnaire by election day. Most were refusing to do so. Social conservative voters were dismayed. 45 of the 106 Ontario CPC candidates did not return the questionnaire. This left pro-life leaders without anything useful to give social conservative voters as a compelling reason to switch parties and support certain CPC candidates.

* Solidly pro-life former Tory MP Rob Nicholson made a comeback win in Niagara Falls.

* Catholic Liberal MP Dennis Mills has strongly avoided addressing the life and family issues in recent years and during this election. Had he publicly taken a position in favour of life and family he would undoubtedly have gained the support and extra votes required to defeat NDP leader Jack Layton.
