I have just returned from the annual Ottawa March for Life. I’ll publish more photos in a later post.
Estimates of how many attended vary between 20,000 (march organisers) and 4,000 (mainstream media). Estimating the numbers in a large crowd is tricky but I think the number of people on the hill was closer to 20,000 than 4,000.

The march was shorter than previous years because protesters against the march had blocked the road, so we were rerouted. Typically, those campaigning for freedom of choice quail at the prospect of anyone making a choice at odds with their choice and resort to the tactic commonly used by communists, fascists and over-sensitive bishops alike: try to suppress the free expression of the opposition. Here are the protestors being held in check by police:

The history of the federal Liberals can only be described as dishonest and fraud. They have no real allegiance to anything except for their determination to stay in power. This is proven by the success they have had in hiding the Sponsorship Scandal which was ongoing with the full knowledge of several former Liberal prime ministers including Paul Martin. The only they “god” they worship is their own ideals. Tragically most Canadians seem to be content to be taken in by their schemes.
This non-partisan embrace of the culture of death has reached its inevitable null point by means of the long lawless road re.abortion; hence the unlawful foreshortened ‘vote’ on the Second Reading:
235 ayes; 75 nays.
David, did those guys on the roof keep you in check? đŸ˜› haha
