Five CRTL Board members had an amicable first meeting with our new MP, Connie Cody, at her office. Already having read our letter, she was prepared to speak to our concern and readily shared that she and the Conservative Party of Canada are of the same mind as we in opposing the expansion of MAiD for persons whose sole underlying condition is mental illness. By introducing Private Member’s Bill C-218, MP Tamara Jansen is championing this stance on behalf of the CPCs. In personal recognition of the huge need for supportive services for all, including veterans, addicts and the mentally ill, Connie spoke of her own involvement in posing a plan several years ago: a [...]

For many years Cambridge Right to Life has designated the month of May as “Respect Life Month”. Although our mandate is respect for “all life” at “all” times we choose the month of May to highlight a number of special events that would normally take place such as; our Coffee and Dessert Evening, Mini Life Chains and participation in the National March for Life in Ottawa. Click on our events in the top menu for details of each of these events.

Cambridge Right to Life typically meets with a government representative close to the anniversary of the day the Supreme Court of Canada struck down our abortion law (Jan 28, 1988). This year, we met with MP Bryan May on January 15 to discuss the government’s plans to expand MAiD for mentally ill persons. We asked that the government STOP AND DISMANTLE A PLAN TO EXPAND MAID FOR MENTAL ILLNESS —scheduled for possible implementation as early as March 17, 2024. We left his office without any reassurance that our objection to MAID’s expansion would be conveyed, by him, our local representative, to the “powers that be.” Below is our letter addressed to Mr. May. January 15, [...]

If you're travelling about town, you're sure to see one of our ads, throughout the the city. While most of our advertising is received well from the community, a complaint was filed in April of this year with the Advertising Standards Council regarding our heartbeat ad. The Complainant stated: This advertisement implies that a fetus is a child, and therefore that abortion is murder. I see this advertisement on my daily walks with my child and not only find it offends my personal sensibilities, but is blatantly fear mongering and inaccurate. I believe this ad violates the following sections: Section 1: unsupported claims, misleading claims, Section 8: Inaccurate scientific claims, And potentially, Section 11: [...]

At this time of year, CRTL hosts our Speak up For Life Event to commemorate the anniversary of the day the Supreme Court of Canada struck down our abortion law (Jan 28, 1988), which made abortion available on-demand. We typically visit the office of one of our representatives to bring forward a timely concern. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have  had to reschedule our visit; however, we have  delivered the following letter (right) to our newest Member of Provincial Parliament, Brian Riddell, on your behalf.  Please consider following up with MPP Riddell  about this concerning issue. MPP Brian Riddell Cambridge Place, Suite 409 73 Water St. N Cambridge, ON N1R 7L6 February 15, 20223 Dear [...]
