    As the only nation in the world with absolutely no protection for the pre-born, Canada murdered almost 100,000 children in 2009 ...a national disaster.

  • Frum’s indictment boils down to two familiar charges: Trudeau mishandled the October Crisis and generally inflamed serparatism; he mismanaged the economy and left his successors a deficit problem.
  • he tripled spending through the 1970s
  • Trudeau was crazy for economic intervention, Frum tells us, as evidenced by his nutty wage-and-price controls.

      Other experts, however, document that Trudeau reacted contrary to the advice of the RCMP who had been monitoring the FLQ who felt their control did not require the national sledge-hammer approach we got in the War Measures Act's total disregard of Canadians' liberties. gfp (2011-09-30)
  • his Liberals never actually blocked any takeovers
  • it wasn’t the economy, but rather the nation itself on which, Frum asserts, Trudeau “inflicted his greatest harm.”
  • he shamefully failed to understand what the Second World War was all about
  • National Energy Program was a spectacularly bad idea
  • an astute reminder that Trudeau’s lasting allure must be understood in light of his “uninspiring” predecessors at 24 Sussex Dr.

    Frum's indictment in this article boils down to two familiar charges: 1. Trudeau mishandled the October Crisis in 1970 involving the FLQ, allowed government circumvention of habeus corpus with the War Measures Act and generally inflamed separatism; 2. he mis-managed the economy and left his successors a major deficit problem. However, the article contains no mention of Mr. Trudeau's unremitting attack on Biblical principles and the traditional family such as his: 1. destruction of families by permitting no-fault divorce, 2. laying the groundwork for unrestricted murder of pre-born children via even partial-birth abortions, and 3. setting us on the road to special rights for homosexuals including the legal right to adopt children and engage in same-sex marriage. Oh my! What the secular-humanist, Catholic, Pierre Trudeau, will have to answer to God for is scary!

  • Morality has no chance facing off against the Charter
  • “The underlying premise — namely that all human beings are possessed of dignity in virtue of a special relationship to a God — is incapable of being used as a basis of public policy proven in the context of a democratic, multicultural and multi-faith society that must cleave to the strictures of public reason in ethical deliberation.”
  • It is to Trudeau and his Charter of Rights that we owe the almost complete transformation of Canada over three decades.

  • The battle over euthanasia will be lost for precisely the same reasons the battles were lost over abortion and over same sex marriage; namely Catholics and social conservatives fail to understand their adversary and where and how the battle is fought.
  • I call this the “majority myth.”
  • Polls once showed an overwhelming majority of Canadians opposed same-sex marriage. Same with abortion.
  • the legal battle over same-sex marriage existed because the Charter existed, no other reason.
  • Section 15, the Equality Rights section of the Charter, is the trigger that allowed Canadian courts to launch such a radical re-ordering of society. In fact, the Charter is a blueprint for constant social re-engineering by the courts, and it is invidious for that reason. It is the antithesis of democratic self-government.
  • This kind of “heavenly deception” (a technique pioneered by the Moonies) is not only dishonest, it is on loan from the very totalitarian impulses that Canadians  should naturally oppose.
  • You may be sure that judges are not about to relinquish that power. The unavoidable reality is that Canada is now governed not by elected MPs but by appointed judges. And they are almost invariably liberal in their ideology.
  • Such judges see nothing wrong with courts legislating a liberal agenda that is (legislatively speaking) unpopular.
  • Any campaign that ignores this is simply delusional.
  • Alas, the Charter is not subject to referendum. If 90 per cent of Canadians had voted against gay marriage, it would have made no difference because so-called “fundamental rights” are not subject to voter preference.
  • What almost everyone avoided in the same-sex marriage campaign was the only viable solution. It’s a solution that exists in the Charter itself — Section 33, the “notwithstanding” clause.
  • the Liberal Party has promised never to invoke s. 33. And Harper’s Conservatives have never done so. Thus was the battle lost.
