TORONTO, Mar 29 (Lifesitenews.com)  A little more than a week after the Toronto Sun carried a libelous propaganda piece against Human Life International the Toronto Star has followed suit. Veteran pro-abortion hate propagandist Michelle Landsberg attacked HLI again using information culled from the violent pro-abortion group Anti-Racist-Action.  Like her counterpart Michele Mandel at the Sun, Landsberg has taken to new lows to exploit the occasion of the April 7-11 conference to continue attempts to vilify the pro-life movement.  Landsberg and others of her ilk have raged against the pro-life/family Catholic group attempting to create a climate of hatred against both […]

PONTIAC, Michigan, Mar 29 (Lifesitenews.com)  On Friday, after 2 days of deliberation, the jury in the murder trial of Jack Kevorkian found him guilty of second degree murder and delivery of a controlled substance in his televised lethal injection of Thomas Youk. Kevorkian is appealing the ruling. The murder charge normally carries a minimum sentence of 10-25 years and the other charge up to seven years, but Kevorkian’s lawyer David Gorosh, said he would ask the judge forego a prison term. Sentencing is scheduled for April 14.  Strangely, the jury cleared Dr. Death on charges of first degree murder in […]

OTTAWA, Mar 29 (Lifesitenews.com)  Politicians in Ottawa are once again blaming the courts for their dirty work. The Globe and Mail reported today that in an interview with Finance Minster Paul Martin, Martin said that since the government chose not to appeal the pro-homosexual Rosenberg Ontario Court decision, benefits from the Income Tax Act and the Canada Pension Plan would be open to cohabitating practicing homosexuals. The government plans to advance the pro-homosexual agenda piecemeal rather than in an omnibus bill so as to avert strong public reaction. An unnamed senior in the finance department informed the paper that legislation […]

OTTAWA, Mar 26 (Lifesitenews.com) – Secretary of State for the Status of Women, Hedy Fry was quoted in the country’s leading homosexual newspaper Xtra! yesterday as saying that Canada is the foremost supporter of homosexuality at the UN. The dubious status was revealed as Fry was attempting to explain to radical feminists from the National Action Committee on the Status of Women why “sexual orientation” was left out of the UN Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against women. Despite the best efforts of the Canadian delegation to insert the term “sexual orientation”  into the UN document, the “vast majority […]

NEW YORK, Mar 26 (Lifesitenews.com) – Despite the request for involvement by pro-family politicians into the selection process for Canadian delegates to the UN, the process remains closed. Reform party family critic Eric Lowther lamented on Tuesday that the whole Cairo +5 agenda is one which is “hidden from the democratic process.” Pro-life sources at the Cairo +5 PrepCom this week reported that one of the advisers to the Canadian delegation is Carol Vlassoff, senior specialist of the “Population and Reproductive Health Policy Branch” of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA). Known abortion advocates were selected as observers on the […]

PONTIAC, Michigan, Mar 26 (Lifesitenews.com) – After giving his closing arguments yesterday euthanasia activist Jack Kevorkian resigned as his own lawyer today. Meanwhile the jury resumed its deliberations this morning. Diane Coleman, founder of Not Dead Yet, told reporters that a decision in Kevorkian’s favour would be “devastating.” “It would mean open season for (Kevorkian) and others. Jack is the symbol on the front edge on euthanasia,” she said. Euthanasia proponents were also present at the trial. Faye Girsh, president of the Hemlock Society, a “right-to-die” group, reminisced fondly about the Kevorkian snuff video saying “It’s the first time we […]

ARUSHA, Tanzania, Mar 26 (Lifesitenews.com) – A February report in the Tanzania Daily News noted that Canada has begun a massive developmental aid program in Tanzania. However, simultaneous reports of Tanzania accepting the setup of the abortion behemoth Marie Stopes International in the country with Canadian help has left pro-life international experts very suspicious. Following revelations of US foreign aid policy being tied to mandatory population control measures it would be no surprise that Canadian foreign policy reflects the same directives. Next to reports of Canadian investment in Tanzania’s gas plants and other industry, the Daily News revealed that Canada […]

TORONTO, Mar 25 (Lifesitenews.com) – Toronto Sun columnist Michael Coren came to the defense of Human Life International which was attacked last week by Sun writer Michele Mandel. Coren points out that HLI’s detractors are using “ugly propaganda,” and demonstrates the falsehoods of their libelous rhetoric. Coren points out that claims of anti-Semitism are given the lie by the long list of prominent Jewish men and women who signed a letter of support for Human Life International. He details the violent and extremist pro-abortion demonstration at the last HLI conference in Montreal.  “There is video evidence,” says Coren, “of (pro-abortion) […]

OTTAWA, Mar 25 (Lifesitenews.com) – The Globe and Mail reported this morning that Prime Minister Jean Chretien is set to announce today in Winnipeg that Canada is going to offer debt relief to Third World Countries but the relief will be tied to “human rights.” Canadian pro-life leaders warn that tying Third World debt relief to “human rights” could force abortion, contraception and sterilization on these countries since the provision of these “services” are considered by the Canadian liberal elite to be “basic human rights.” Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition, told LifeSite, “When we first learned of […]

MONTREAL, Mar 25 (Lifesitenews.com) – A woman who underwent hormonal and surgical treatment to portray herself as a man won a court battle to change her sex on her birth certificate to male.  Quebec Superior Court decided to allow the changes with an announcement expected later this week. The Canadian Press reported that the woman who refers to herself as Daniel Aranoff is waiting for “the official papers that will allow him (sic) to change his (sic) passport, driver’s licence, medicare card and other documents that identify him (sic) as female.” What CP failed to mention is that the transvestite […]
