EuthanasiaRulingSupremeCourt

Since October's hearing on the issue of euthanasia and doctor assisted suicide the Supreme Court of Canada has been working towards announcing their ruling. No official date has been set for the announcement but many observers are getting the sense that it is coming close. Their ruling could fling wide the doors to this issue across Canada. We are praying that will not happen.

Please join us in keeping our Supreme Court Justices in prayer as they work towards this landmark ruling.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BY MP MAURICE VELLACOTT, JANUARY 8TH, 2015

No legal “duty to refer” for euthanasia or assisted suicide anywhere in the world

OTTAWA – In anticipation of the possible striking down of Canada’s laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide (pending the Supreme Court’s decision in the Carter case), and given the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario’s (CPSO’s) draft policy “Professional Obligations and Human Rights” i which, if passed, would require Ontario physicians to make referrals for controversial medical procedures regardless of their conscientious/religious convictions, Member of Parliament Maurice Vellacott today issued the following statement:

I am deeply concerned about the assault on the fundamental freedoms of Ontario’s doctors should CPSO’s policy forcing doctors to make referrals for morally objectionable “treatments” pass. If the Supreme Court of Canada strikes down Canada’s current laws on euthanasia or assisted suicide, then CPSO’s policy would mean Ontario’s physicians would have a “duty to refer” patients for treatments intended to kill the patient....click here to read entire release.

RodBruinoogeAnnouncement

MP Rod Bruinooge, who has become a wonderful friend to MY Canada and a significant leader in the pro-life movement over his years of service to as a Parliamentarian, announced this week that he will not be seeking re-election in 2015.

Mr. Bruinooge broke onto the national pro-life scene when he openly denounced the decision to give abortion activist Dr. Henry Mortgentaler the Order of Canada, the highest honour for a Canadian civilian. In 2010 Mr. Bruinooge went on to table Roxanne's Law, named after a Roxanne Fernando who had been murdered by her boyfriend because she refused to abort their child. If passed the law would have granted more protection to pregnant women. Mr. Bruinooge has also served faithfully as the chair of the Parliamentary Pro-Life Caucus.

He will be missed.

In honour of his hard work we are praying that many arise to fill the void he is leaving.

Please take a moment to e-mail Mr. Bruinooge to thank him and honour him for his service to Canadians. He has been one of Canada's best in this season.

Mr. Bruinooge's Contact Information:

E-mail: rod@bruinooge.com, rod.bruinooge@parl.gc.ca
Phone: (204) 984-6787 / (613) 995-7517

JOIN US IN THE FIGHT AGAINST E-BOLA IN WEST AFRICA:

From Faytene Grasseschi

It was my deep honour to spend some of my beginning years in Christian work in the back woods of West Africa, Liberia. The land, the people, and what God was doing there were all absolutely beautiful. Never in my life have I ever encountered a people who in the midst of profound struggle with things such as war, terror, hunger, disease and more had such joyful determination to overcome. I quickly fell in love with this nation and it's people. ... click here to read more ...
