The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition of Ontario has grave concerns with the wording of Senator Sharon Carstairs Bill S-2, the Medical Decisions Facilitations Act. The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition of Ontario has been formed in order to prepare a well-informed, broadly-based network supporting measures that will create an effective social barrier to euthanasia and assisted suicide. One of our goals is to preserve and enforce legal prohibitions and ethical guidelines prohibiting “mercy killing.” President, Barrie deVeber M.D. FRCP(C) is Professor Emeritus in Pediatrics/Oncology at the University of Western Ontario in London and the President of the deVeber Institute in Toronto.

Bill Changing Numerous Statutes Sneaked Through Without Debate TORONTO, Oct 28 (LSN.ca) – The Ontario government passed its legislation giving practicing homosexuals the same rights as common-law spouses yesterday after ramming it through the legislature only two days after it was introduced. Pro-family groups across the country reacted with horror as “the Tories completely sold out social conservatives,” to cite Peter Stock of the Canadian Family Action Coalition. Not only was public debate avoided by the hastened passage of the bill, but accountability to the Ontario public was abandoned when this revolutionary law was passed without a recorded vote. THE […]

LEGISLATION When Parliament is prorogued the legislative slate is wiped clean so the government and individual MPs are re-introducing bills that they want to pursue from the last session. The government re-introduced its bill to amend the Elections Act, which includes spending limits for third parties. This agenda is commonly referred to as a “gag law” by critics because it limits the extent to which people can broadcast their support for and opposition to political candidates. Since anti-family groups tend to be far more politically”sophisticated” as well as more favoured (note Revenue Canada’s recent treatment of pro-life groups), such a […]

Letter-Writing Points of Consideration To follow are potential reasons why concerned citizens should write their local provincial MLA/MPP/MNA, their federal MP, as well as Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, House Leader Don Boudria (Minister responsible for the Canada Elections Act, which lays out the mandate for Elections Canada), and Jean-Pierre Kingsley, Chief Electoral Officer of Elections Canada to express their objection to Elections Canada’s involvement with the National Election for the Rights of Youth (to take place on November 19, 1999). Parents should also write their local school board and express their objection to this vote being held in our schools: […]

Potent drug receives revolutionary exemption from usual doctors’ risk assessment TORONTO, Sept 22 (LSN) – LifeSite has learned that the controversial early abortion drug PREVEN, the so-called “emergency contraceptive”, was put on the Canadian market as of last Friday September 17.  Furthermore, plans are underway to have the drugs available over the counter in short order.

Promotional material notes that Roberts plans “an aggressive national promotion campaign” […]

OTTAWA, Sept 14 (LSN) – The Canadian branch of the United Nations Children’s Fund and Elections Canada have released the ten rights to be voted on by Canadian youth under 18 in a mock national election to be held November 19. As LifeSite warned in July, the rights would likely promote the often anti-family ideals of the United Nations, especially the criminalization of corporal punishment. The newly released rights “candidates” proved LifeSite’s warnings accurate. Subsumed under the right of “Education”, the first right listed of ten, it specifies that “the discipline used in our schools must not go against our […]
