Totalitarian Trudeau
Re: PM’s love of dictatorships showing again. Fr. Raymond de Souza, Jan. 19
Justin Trudeau is determined to blaze a trail for the Liberal Party by making Canada the Abortion Capital of the World and he is doing by wilfully distorting the objectives of Canada’s Charter of Rights.
His demand that charitable institutions agree to the government’s pro- abortion policies before receiving gov- ernment assistance is, to put it mildly, treasonous, as it violates our constitutional freedoms of conscience and belief. If we don’t as a freedom loving group oppose this hideous pro- abortion demand we could very well be living in the near future where our loyalty to Canada and all that it implies will be subject to our submitting to Justin’s Orwellian demands.

They say the apple never falls far from the tree, but in Justin Trudeau’s case, he’s ignoring his father’s wisdom.
In 1967, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, then Canada’s justice minister, introduced legislation which, among other things, decriminalized homosexuality. The famous utterance, “there’s no place for the state in the bedrooms of the nation,” then came to life. Pierre Trudeau didn’t come up with the line himself — It was part of an editorial in the Globe and Mail — but he made it his own.
Shortly thereafter, when Pierre Trudeau introduced his Divorce Reform Legislation, he refused to allow a free vote in Parliament, on the grounds that he didn’t believe MPs should impose their moral, religious and ethical convictions on the country. This very progressive thinking was widely hailed as correct and proper. Put another way, Canadians believed t he role of t he church, sin and morality was our own to define.
We now have the younger Trudeau holding a summer jobs creation program hostage because, as Father Raymond de Souza so eloquently described it, the Trudeau government feels there’s a need for “ideological displays.” I somehow doubt his father would consider this progressive, moral or ethical.
