Ideological purity test to receive funding for interns

January 9, 2018 by Andrea Mrozek 4 Comments

Discussed the government’s requirement of an ideological purity test (I support “reproductive rights”) in order for small business and not-for-profits to receive funding for summer interns with John Oakley on AM 640 yesterday. Very pleased he took the issue on. Less pleased with my meandering replies here but the gist is this: The Charter is intended to protect conscience rights, not transgress them. And while the Liberals want to stick it to anti-abortion groups, they are in effect creating a chill for all charities who will not check that nebulous box saying they support “reproductive rights.” Many a church or NGO hired interns to help with basic stuff for low-income Canadians–things like summer camps for kids who couldn’t otherwise go, etc. Also, just as a side note, “reproductive rights” needs to be very much challenged as a term, something the media rarely does.

    I am glad more groups and individuals are becoming aware of the totalitarian way Trudeau is using to shut down the Pro Life voice in our so called democracy..
    I hope you have the fortitude and idealism to keep the fight for Life on the front burner.

      As it becomes clear that this is about suppressing freedom of thought, less about abortion, I am more motivated to take it on, not less. I will never let government compel me to put a “workers of the world unite” sign in my grocery store window. Not now, not ever and not if it means I get to make new friends in prison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIwQBsPZdh0
