Pro-Democracy Group calls for Justice to Apply Equally to Theft by Gay Parliamentarian

CALGARY, May 10, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Citizens Centre for Freedom and Democracy (CCFD) is asking that justice be carried out even when the alleged criminal is a media-celebrated Member of Parliament.  Referring to homosexual activist NDP MP Svend Robingson, CCFD noted in an email last week, “It’s now almost a month since Svend Robinson stole a valuable diamond ring from a Vancouver-area auction. This should disturb us. The case for prosecution was open and shut weeks ago. Why have no charges have been laid? Is there one Criminal Code for MPs and another for the rest of us?”  CCFD encouraged supporters to “ask B.C. Attorney General Geoff Plant what the hold-up is (along with B.C.‘s premier, deputy premier and solicitor general).  To partake in the justice campaign visit:  https://www.citizenscentre.com/action-svend1.html   Columnist Herman Gooden of the London Free Press pointed out the injustice in the Robinson caper.  CCFD proposed the title “Two-Teared Justice” for Gooden’s column.  “The light-fingered self-outing two weeks ago of NDP wunderkind, Svend Robinson, was typically flamboyant,” wrote Gooden. “Quite true to his usual form, the large-egoed MP decided not to just turn himself over to the police and be done with it. Instead, Robinson held a national news conference, the upshot of which led every newscast that evening and plastered his weeping face on every front page the next day, allowing all Canadians to wince along with the Member of Parliament for Burnaby, B.C. and feel his pain.”  See Gooden’s complete column in today’s LifeSite Special Report:  https://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2004/may/040510a.html
