  • VIA EMAIL August 20, 2018 the Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. * Prime Minister of Canada Langevin Block 80 Welling
    VIA EMAIL August 20, 2018 The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau, P.C., M.P. * Prime Minister of Canada Langevin Block 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A2 Mr. Trudeau, A year ago, you met with Marianne Hladun and Dave Clarke. Among other items, we discussed the critical situation in Churchill, Manitoba. We discussed the need to fix the rail line, and to reinvest in the Port. At that time, you gave us your assurance, that you understood the urgency before us, that the people of Churchill could count on you to help make things right. Mr. Trudeau, a year has passed. Another hard winter is approaching quickly. The rail line is still not fixed. The community is still without necessary goods and services. Propane supplies are limited. What food is there is beyond economic reach for many. Families are making the very sad decision to leave the community – to leave their homes. While the provincial government points to the federal government, and while your government points to the current owners of the rail line, and while lawyers argue in courts, people are struggling. It is time for you to hold to your commitment to us. It is time for you to use federal government resources to fix that rail line immediately, so that goods and services can move now, so that the people of Churchill have access to the rest of our country, so that this coming winter isn’t quite as difficult. We can’t imagine this happening in a southern Canadian community. We can’t imagine why these people have been abandoned for so long.

Also, Trudeau will not likely allow anti-choice MPs to introduce their own bills/motions, or publicly advocate against abortion rights. Therefore, these MPs should not pose any threat, although they should be monitored. Likewise, Liberal MPs not on this 2014 pro-choice list may warrant monitoring to ensure they adhere to the party’s pro-choice policy.

  • Motion to Invite Papal Apology for Residential Schools Passes 269 to 10
    Motion to invite papal apology for residential schools passes 269 to 10 The motion by NDP MP Charlie Angus of the Timmins—James Bay, Ont. riding passed May 1 by a vote of 269-10. However, a House of Commons debate on a revised motion to invite Pope Francis to apologize for Indian residential schools heard no dissenting voices Apr. 26. MPs from both sides of the aisle voiced their desire for a papal apology as called for in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) Call to Action #58. Conservative MP Garnett Genuis blocked unanimous consent on a previous motion. He did not dispute the new motion with revised wording in the debate Apr. 26Photo: CCN Absent from the fray was Conservative MP Garnett Genuis, of the Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta riding, who had refused unanimous consent on a similar motion by Angus Apr. 18 that had called on the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) to invite the Pope. Genuis had objected to the previous motion out of concerns for the separation of church and state and for religious freedom in having Parliament instruct the Catholic Church on how to carry out reconciliation efforts. A spokesperson from Genuis office said he was not commenting further, as he had already said what he had to say about the issue. Genuis was among the 10 Conservative MPs who voted against the motion May 1. The new motion left out the CCCB and appealed directly to Pope Francis, inviting him to “participate” with Canadians in a journey of reconciliation by responding to the TRC Call to Action #58.
