10 Jun 2008 New Poll shows Quebec-based support for Bill C-484
Ken Epp, MP - For Immediate Release - June 10, 2008(Ottawa) - At a press conference in Ottawa today, Conservative MP Ken Epp released the results of a poll he commissioned regarding his Private Members Bill, C-484, the Unborn Victims of Crime Act. C-484 would make it a separate crime if an attacker knowingly harms or kills a fetus being carried by a pregnant woman. The online survey, conducted by Angus Reid Strategies June 4-5 in Quebec only, shows that fully 50% of Quebecers support the Bill, while 35% are opposed and 15% undecided. Among women, support is at 53%. (Full poll results are available on Mr. Epp’s web site at www.kenepp.com).06 Jun 2008 Action Item for all Canadians: Letter from Alberta Pro-Life
Note: ARPA Canada readers can also order postcards (10 cents each) from Life Canada by contacting Gudrun Schultz at [email protected] Dear Pro-life Activists and Members,I'd like to encourage you to Write A Letter to your local editor on the following issue.

Suppression of ads called "an attempt to silence the pro-life voice from public discussion"OTTAWA, May 26, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In a bizarre ruling last week, Advertising Standards Canada (ASC) rejected evidence from Statistics Canada and declared that pro-life billboards which said abortions are allowed in Canada throughout all nine months of pregnancy were "deceptive." Joanne Byfield, president of LifeCanada, the group behind the billboards, said the decision was unbelievable. "Our ads simply state the reality in Canada that there is no law restricting abortion at any stage of pregnancy. This ruling says it is 'deceptive' to tell Canadians that," she said.23 May 2008 Charity sues Planned Parenthood
