Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights gets millions more in government funding

From the Lobbyist database for Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights 

End date of the last completed financial year: 2025-06-30

List of Government Funding
Government InstitutionFunding Received in Last Financial YearFunding Expected in Current Financial Year
Global Affairs Canada (GAC)$697,727.00Yes
Health Canada (HC)$1,316,065.00Yes
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC)$694,524.00Yes
Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)$397,796.00Yes
Women and Gender Equality (WAGE)$242,922.00Yes
This totals $3,349,034 (This is $124,939 less than what CRA reports, see below). But it does show which departments are forking out your money to them.

Employees who lobby for the organization


  • Frederique Chabot, Executive Director
  • Meghan Doherty, Co-Director Policy and Advocacy
  • Brianna Parent Long, Policy & Advocacy Officer
  • Ana Laura Zarco Fuentes, Policy & Advocacy Officer

Then there's the grants database, which is clearly not up-to-date. The first entry is for grants identified in 2024. Nothing shows for 2025.

From CRA for Fiscal period: July 01, 2024 to June 30, 2025: Government funding $3,473,973. 

CRA is my go to for the most accurate financial information for charities. 

Maybe one day we will see a pro-life charity get $3,473,973 in government funding. That. Would be. A miracle.

Dying With Dignity Canada lobbies government 139 times and counting / 2025 financial statements

Dying with Dignity Canada most recent government lobbying

Type: Consultant
Lobbyist: Tom Potter, Blackbird Strategies, Ltd.
Registration: 6 of 6 (2026-05-25 to present)
Posted: 2026-05-25

-------------------------

A couple of notes on Dying with Dignity's recently published 2025 financial statements.

DWDC has long-term investments of $8,160,832 (2025), up from $7,370,174 (2024). Imagine a charity so rich that they can afford to keep more than $8 million in long-term investments--money that clearly isn't needed to run the business. They also received $646,153 in investment income alone. Can you imagine a pro-life charity being this rich? Neither can I.

My guess is that they will use this great big juicy horde of cash to pay for their Charter challenges (British Columbia court battle and the Mental Illness Exclusion Challenge in Ontario), and when they act as intervenors in other court cases. Lots of cash to do this. 

Donations are up: $ 2,976,918 (2025), from $ 2,759,606 (2024).

(I still puzzle why anyone would donate to this pro-death group who advocate, lobby and promote killing people. Why does Dying with Dignity even exist? Is it because of power? Or money? Or are they just plain old run of the mill lunatic psychopaths?)

Advertising and promotions $1,013,241 (2025), up from $803,555 (2024). That's over one third of their donations spent on advertising and promoting and lobbying the government for the killing industry.

The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition has applied to be intervenor in the Brosseau case launched by Dying with Dignity. 

The Brosseau case is asking an Ontario court to legislate from the bench by approving medical homicide for Claire Brosseau who is living with mental illness alone. Court interventions are very expensive. We need your support.

If you can, please give a donation to help EPC.

Euthanasia: then and now

Hitler's euthanasia Program and Aktion T4:

(All emphasis added)

"The goal of the Nazi Euthanasia Program was to kill people with mental and physical disabilities. In the Nazi view, this would cleanse the “Aryan” race of people considered genetically defective and a financial burden to society. In the Nazi context, however, "euthanasia" was a euphemistic or indirect term for a clandestine murder program and Aktion T4."

(MAID: Must have a serious and incurable illness, disease, or disability. Under Canadian law, if your only medical condition is a mental illness, you are not eligible to receive MAID until March 17, 2027. However, if you have a mental illness alongside other qualifying physical conditions, you may still be assessed for eligibility.)

The UN on MAID: "Rosemary Kayess, Committee Expert and Leader of the Taskforce for Canada, said it was concerning that persons with disabilities sought access to medical assistance in dying due to unmet needs, which was a systemic failure of the State party. The disproportionate impact of these failures, which included poverty, and a lack of access to employment and services, underpinned the so-called choice for seeking medical assistance in dying as an alternative. How was this not State-sanctioned euthanasia? If choice was the trigger, why was there not also a focus on addressing the support that person needed, which would take them away from social isolation where they perceived dying as the only option they had?"

Hitler's euthanasia Program: "In the autumn of 1939, Adolf Hitler signed a secret authorization in order to protect participating physicians, medical staff, and administrators from prosecution."

(MAID: Doctors in Canada are protected from being prosecuted for providing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) through specific exemptions in the federal Criminal Code.

Hitler's euthanasia Program: "Even though physicians and institutional administrators falsified official records in every case to indicate that the victims died of natural causes, the "euthanasia" program quickly became an open secret. There was widespread public knowledge of the measure."

(MAID: the cause of death is reported as the underlying illness, disease, or disability that necessitated the procedure.)

Dear Mauricette Howlett,

You state that:

job activities respect reproductive rights, including the right to abortion, as a condition for receiving federal funding...All employers under the CSJ program are required to provide a safe and inclusive work environment that respects individual human rights as outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. When applying for funding through the CSJ program, organizations must attest that any funding under the CSJ program will not be used to undermine or restrict the exercise of rights legally protected in Canada.

As we know, and have known for many years, there is no Charter right to abortion -- abortion is not legally protected in Canada. 

This means that the young people who are prevented from accessing the summer jobs programs are being discriminated against because of their religious beliefs since it is faith based organizations and persons who are the ones not eligible for the grants because of their opposition to abortion. Even if there was a charter right to abortion, and there isn't, preventing someone from receiving the funding based on their deeply held religious beliefs would still be discrimination.

Canada supposedly prides itself in its freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief, opinion, speech, assembly and association. But only sometimes. And only when the government says so. This is wrong.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

Dear Patricia Maloney:

 

On behalf of the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario, I am responding to your email, which the Office of the Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Mark Carney, sent to her on April 22, 2026, as well as your follow-up email to Minister Hajdu of May 10, 2026. You wrote about the launch of Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) 2026 and the availability of 100,000 positions for young people.

 

In your emails, you specifically raised concerns about the 2018 policy which requires CSJ program applicants to attest that their core mandate and the job activities respect reproductive rights, including the right to abortion, as a condition for receiving federal funding. You indicated that this requirement could result in the exclusion of organizations with pro‑life beliefs and asked whether this policy would be discontinued under the current government. I appreciate your taking the time to write and convey your perspective on this matter.

 

The objective of CSJ is to create quality jobs for youth across Canada by providing them with valuable work experiences during the summer employment period so that they gain and develop skills and competencies.

 

All employers under the CSJ program are required to provide a safe and inclusive work environment that respects individual human rights as outlined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. When applying for funding through the CSJ program, organizations must attest that any funding under the CSJ program will not be used to undermine or restrict the exercise of rights legally protected in Canada.

 

In addition, all CSJ applications are assessed against 15 eligibility criteria outlined in the CSJ Applicant Guide. The CSJ Articles of Agreement outline the obligations of applicants to ensure that all funded job opportunities take place in a safe, inclusive and healthy work environment free from harassment and discrimination.

 

Employers who are approved for CSJ funding sign agreements confirming that they have understood and will comply with the rules of the program. The Department conducts a range of monitoring activities to ensure that funding is used according to the terms of the program outlined in the agreement with each employer. The provision of false and misleading information or failure to comply with the Articles of Agreement may result in revocation of funding.

 

Each year, the Department makes modifications to improve CSJ based on the feedback received from participants and stakeholders and will continue to implement as many innovative changes as possible to improve program delivery and adapt it to address the evolving needs of youth and employers across the country.

 

I hope that this information is helpful in addressing your concerns.

 

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mark Carney,

Today you announced the summer jobs program grants:

There are 100,000 jobs available.
Will your Liberal government now put an end to Justin Trudeau's discriminatory practice of excluding pro-life people from receiving these grants?
As a self-proclaimed practicing Catholic one would think that you would be happy to not exclude those who hold Christian beliefs that the child in the womb is as valuable as any other Canadian human being and that organizations who espouse pro-life beliefs are as worthy of taxpayer funded summer job opportunities as any other Canadian.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you.

The relationship between Health Canada and Dying with Dignity Canada

"It doesn’t cover every poll done by various other groups/organizations based on what I’ve seen over the years so not sure if it will seem biased?"

My latest ATIP from Health Canada regarding Dying with Dignity.

There is a Teams Meeting from Health Canada and the discussion was going to be on MAID (Page 18). On the agenda:

  • "Can/should we point to other support/service pathways (e.g. palliative care, disability or mental health supports, etc.)" (One would hope that, of course palliative care would be discussed. The word "palliative" appears only once in the document. Was it discussed? Unknown.)
  • "Seek feedback from a group called the MAID Network (reps incl. DWDC, Bridge C-14, MAID Family Network, CAMAP and ppi with first hand knowledge working with the public)" (There is no mention of getting feedback from anyone opposed to MAID. The MAID Network all support MAID.)
Page 28. Helen Long writes another letter to the Health Minister congratulating her appointment as Minister of Health. I've lost count as to how many letters she has written to Ministers. 

Page 11. Memo regarding the polling done. 
"The focus is mainly on Ipsos Reid polls commissioned by DWDC but it does cover some other polling especially where there may be contradictory views on certain issues. It doesn’t cover every poll done by various other groups/organizations based on what I’ve seen over the years so not sure if it will seem biased? (emphasis added)" (Even the bureaucrats wonder if the analysis of the polls is biased. And the analysis does cover all DWDC's polls.)
Page 51-62 Polls about MAID. Media monitoring and analysis: Out of the 12 page report, there is a total of about one and a half pages devoted to polls not as favourable to MAID as the rest of the polls (***see links below). All the rest of the polls are from DWDC.

Page 64: Email from Helen Long:
"As you know, Dying With Dignity Canada has a long history of interest in assisted dying, including advance requests. We hear continuously from people across Canada, in all walks of life, who have a lived experience related to the desire for an advance request, or who have a personal or professional interest in the issue. With the goal of helping to ensure that lived experience as well as professional expertise related to advance request is included in the process, I am providing you with a list of individuals and clinicians who are interested in being part of the consultation process. Each of them has indicated their agreement to have their name shared with Health Canada and its contractor(s) for the purposes of consulting on advance requests. Some of these Individuals are well known and may already be on your list but am sharing just in case:"
Long then includes a (redacted) list of 23 persons and 12 clinicians. I think we can assume that all of these names are supportive of MAID. Did Health Canada reach out to them? Unknown. Did Health Canada reach out to anyone who is not supportive of MAID? Unknown.

ATIP takes 502 days and yields 9 pages of information

This ATIP to Health Canada took 502 days to respond to, yielded exactly 9 pages of so-called information, from a total document count of 285 pages. 

It is hard to comprehend how it can take so long to respond to an ATIP, when you release virtually no information.

Page 2-247 and 256-285 were all redacted (i.e. all subject to solicitor-client privilege)

Page 1 Someone contacts Health Canada to ask about getting in touch with Dying with Dignity. Which is pretty funny. As I have shown many times before, DWDC has a very cozy relationship with Health Canada. The fact that someone would actually contact Health Canada to ask for an interview with DWDC tells me that the lines are definitely blurred between these two entities.

248-255 - yields some complaints from DWDC about Health Canada's survey on advance directives not being accessible outside of Canada. 

And this. Helen Long offers to give names of people to participate in the consultations:

I understand from the Minister's announcement that there will be a variety of ways to engage in the advance request consultations, including roundtables. As always, it is important to get the perspectives of those with lived experience. To that end, I wondered if you were looking for individuals who do have lived experience and might be able to contribute to this discussion? Let me know and if there is an opportunity, I would be happy to provide a list of individuals who could participate.

Does Health Canada take her up on this offer? There is no indication that they do. But if they did, that would certainly skew the results of the consultations.

Dying with Dignity raises $148,580 in one month

From Helen Long of Dying with Dignity Canada in an email. It makes me want to throw up.

Together, we raised $148,580 last month from 991 of the most compassionate people, and fully maximized the matching gift!

Compassionate? There's nothing compassionate about killing people who need love, support and probably palliative care, Helen Long. That people donate money to your poisoning lobby, who lobbies government non-stop -- there just are no words.

Priests and bishops who have spoken out against MAID

(If you know of a Priest or Bishop who has spoken out against MAID, please provide me with a link and I will update this entry to reflect that.)

Update May 6:

Archdiocese of Edmonton Hope & Dignity initiative was launched under Archbishop Richard Smith (now in Vancouver) and is strongly supported by Archbishop Stephen Hero. The poll that I referenced was part of the early planning for the initiative, rather than simply a stand-alone poll. And this: Guidelines for the Celebration of the Sacraments with Persons & Families Considering or Opting for Death by Assisted Suicide or Euthanasia

Priests for Life here and here.

Fr Mark Goring speaking from the pulpit (this seems me to be the most effective way to speak directly to Catholics).

The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) acts as the collective voice, several high-ranking Canadian clergy and individual priests have been particularly vocal in their opposition to Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Their advocacy often focuses on legal challenges, public statements, and pastoral warnings about the expansion of eligibility. [123]

Prominent Archbishops & Bishops
  • Cardinal Francis (Frank) Leo (Archbishop of Toronto): In April 2026, he wrote directly to Prime Minister Mark Carney and Members of Parliament to advocate for Bill C-218, which seeks to exclude mental illness as a sole condition for MAiD. He urged a "free vote" on the legislation, calling for a "civilization that cares for those suffering and does not eliminate them".
  • Archbishop Christian Lépine (Archbishop of Montreal): He launched a significant legal challenge in February 2024 against Quebec's end-of-life legislation. He argues that forcing Catholic palliative care centers like St. Raphael's to offer MAiD violates institutional freedom of conscience.
  • Bishop Mark Hagemoen (Bishop of Saskatoon): Along with other Saskatchewan bishops, he issued a pastoral letter titled "Dying with Hope: Living and Walking Together" in April 2025. He has publicly criticized the "romanticized accounts" of assisted suicide in mainstream culture and advocated for increased mental health resources.
  • Archbishop J. Michael Miller (Archbishop of Vancouver): He released specific guidelines as early as 2017 regarding the pastoral care of those considering MAiD, emphasizing that life is sacred from conception to natural death. [12345678]
Individual Priests & Pastoral Voices
  • Fr. Larry Holland (Archdiocese of Vancouver): He shared a personal account of being twice offered MAiD by hospital staff while recovering from a hip fracture in 2026. He spoke out against the "coercive" nature of medical staff initiating these conversations with patients who have deeply held religious objections.
  • Fr. Lynn (Vancouver): In interviews, he described the practice of medical practitioners proactively offering MAiD to vulnerable persons as "diabolical" and an attack on patient identity.
  • Fr. William Ha and Bishop Gordon (Victoria): Participated in a panel discussion at St. Andrew's Cathedral in 2026 to discuss the "cultural shift" regarding human worth and the dangers of expanding MAiD criteria.
  • Fr. Tadeusz Pacholczyk (National Catholic Bioethics Center): Though a bioethicist, he provides widely used commentary in Canada criticizing the "idolizing" of medical power and science over the sanctity of life. [123456]

Are priests and bishops educating Catholics about MAID?

An online survey conducted in Edmonton in 2023 by the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton tells us that 75.7 % of Catholics polled oppose MAID. Which means that 24.3 % either fully support MAID or are not sure what they support

Then there are polls done by Dying with Dignity Canada (Canada's poisoning lobby) in 2023. These results are even worse. They tell us that 83% of Catholics support MAID. (DWDC's repeated polls provide similar results.)

Regardless of the actual number of Catholics who support MAID, one is too many. The question we must ask ourselves is this. Are our bishops and priests educating their congregants about the reality of MAID and how Canada leads the world in killing its citizens? From the Edmonton survey and the comments from poll participants, we get these comments:

"At the same time, they [the respondents] want the Church to be firmer, clearer, and more vocal on their stance."

  • “No one opposed this vocally. And the dead received a Catholic funeral. The priest knew MAiD had been used.”
  • I feel Canadian Bishops and priests should be more outspoken on how unjust and sinful it is.”
  • “Our lack of action speaks louder than our occasional tepid objection. We’ve reached the cold mathematics at the crossroads of history and a Loving living God who is the reality of Love and Justice bound perfectly. There’s a price to pay for our active deliberate omission, our failures in duty.”
  • “The Catholic Church needs to take a strong, vocal stance against MAiD.I am surprised that it has not done more then it has. The bishops letter opposing MAiD is not enough.”
  • “The church should be solid in their commitments and many Catholics are not aware of where the Church stands. In our day there is SO MUCH 'garbage' thrown at us we sometimes get very confused and muddled.”

There is also a lot of misunderstanding about MAID from Catholics: When asked who can ask for MAiD, their answers: 

  • Anyone (mentioned at least 100 times) 
  • Pretty much anyone
  • Probably anyone. It’s another thing if they are granted help.
  • Anyone can ask. 
  • Terminally ill persons, some mental health reasons. 
  • Now? Almost anyone. 
  • Anyone 18 years old and older. 
  • The individual 
  • Almost everyone who is struggling with mental illness or medical illness
  • Anyone with a physical or mental disability that ruins their quality of life

And these troubling comments from Catholics:


Here are instances of priests and bishops who have spoken out against MAID. This is all good but is it enough? I don't think it is, if we are to believe the polls.

Liberal MPs refuse to answer Conservative constituents

In response to this letter I sent to the Liberal Party of Canada regarding my MP Mona Fortier never responding to my letters, I received this response from Arthur Mackossot back in July. (Who is this guy anyway?)

Hello,

Thank you for writing to the Liberal Party of Canada.

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide assistance; we are the administrative office of the Liberal Party of Canada. Instead, we urge you to contact your local Member of Parliament (MP) or Cabinet Minister directly.
Current Members of Parliament - Members of Parliament - House of Commons of Canada 

Thank you again for writing.

Kind regards,

This is a pretty hilarious response. I was writing to the Liberal party to ask why my MP refuses to answer my letters, and the Liberal party tells me to contact my MP. Really?

I have now written to "my" MP Mona Fortier 12 times now. I have received two responses from her. This is what a Liberal government looks like--when Liberal MPs do not share the values of their constituents, they don't respond to their letters. What a joke these clowns are.

2024-2025 the tragic reality of late-term born-alive abortions

2024/2025 late-term abortion stats released from CIHI. Late-term stillbirth abortions are up (1,219, last year was 1,192). Late-term born-alive abortions are down (129, last year was 150)

Also notice that live-birth abortions for 25-28 weeks gestation are up (14) from last year (5). Both years had six born alive babies 29+ weeks gestation. These are all babies that could actually survive the abortion if someone had cared enough to not let them die after they were born. 

For comparison purposes 2023/2024 here.

Whichever way you look at the data, one of these horrific late-term abortions is one too many.

Why does an already completed ATIP need to be re-examined?

Canada's Access to information is dysfunctional to say the least (ie I still have two outstanding ATIPs way over the pretend 30 day rule: one with Finance at 475 days old, and one with Health at 486 days old, with no end in sight for either one).

I have now encountered a new indication of just how messed up the system is. 

But first...a good thing about the system is that a person can request documents from ATIPs somebody else has already asked for: Completed Access to Information Requests. I have used this feature a number of times and usually within a couple of days I will receive the information requested. 

However recently when I requested this document, nothing was forthcoming. When I inquired why this was the case this is what I was told:

Because your request is being processed informally, it is not subject to the statutory deadlines, complaint mechanisms, or other formal requirements set out in Part 1 of the Access to Information Act. However, we will make every effort to process it as promptly as possible. 

Please note that the records responsive to your request are quite extensive, which may affect the time required to review and prepare them for release. We appreciate your patience as we work through the material, and we will provide the records to you as soon as we are able.

In response I asked this logical question:

Since the ATIP has already been completed, I don't understand why a further analysis of the info must be done? There were only 47 pages in the package. Can you please explain the delay? 

Their response:

While the records have previously been released and the volume is not large, some time is still required to properly process an informal request. This includes confirming that all information remains appropriate for disclosure, verifying that any applicable exemptions or redactions remain appropriate, and ensuring the records are accurate and complete before being shared again. 

The necessary internal and administrative steps must still be complete to ensure accuracy and consistency.

 

In addition, we are currently processing multiple informal and formal access to information requests, and we must balance and prioritize these requests accordingly to ensure all are handled fairly and appropriately.

So five weeks later and counting, it sounds like the bureaucrats are starting at the beginning of the request, all over again, why? Is it a stalling tactic? Did they make mistakes the first time? Whatever their reasoning, it is just stupid. It's like the government has come up with a new way to hinder access to information requests. Which I guess shouldn't surprise me.

Dying With Dignity Canada lobbies government 138 times and counting

Dying with Dignity, who make millions in donations every year, uses these millions to lobby the government -- 138 times to date. They do this lobbying to increase the number of people who are euthanized every year. They are in an exclusive relationship with the government, repeatedly meeting with ministers, while those ministers never meet with organizations opposed to killing people

No wonder Canada has a reputation for the most euthanasia friendly country in the world.

2023 total abortions = 101,553

2022 total abortions = 97,211

2021 total abortions = 87,485

Only the pro-deathers get to meet with ministers, why is that?

As we already know, Dying with Dignity lobbies the government pretty much non-stop. They also repeatedly meet with Ministers of government. DWDC has met with the ministers of at least three different government departments (Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), Justice and Health), sometimes multiple times with the department in question.

So I wondered. Have any of the main groups opposed to the "poisoning lobby" (thanks to Alec Primc from the Voice for the Children and Family Party of Slovenia for this apt description of euthanasia) also meet with any ministers? I checked out the Lobbyist database to see who was lobbying government against poisoning Canadians. There were five organizations. So I asked the Department of Justice:

Please provide the names of the people from the listed organizations below who have met with the Minister of Justice (and or his or her representative) regarding MAID, and the dates and details of those meetings, including who was present at these meetings. Dates from June 2016 to February 27, 2026: Association for Reformed Political Action (ARPA) Canada. EVANGELICAL FELLOWSHIP OF CANADA. Christian Reformed churches in Canada (CRCNA Canada Corporation). Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. Christian Medical and Dental Society of Canada, and any other religious organization.

The response I received:

I regret to inform you that a search of the records under the control of the Department of Justice Canada has revealed none relating to the subject of your request. 

I submitted the same ATIP to Health Canada. Although there was one meeting identified with ARPA, it was not with the Minister of Health.

So the only voices the ministers of Justice and Health listen to when it comes to killing its citizens by poisoning them, are the people who advocate for, and not those opposed to, killing people by lethal injection. That sounds awfully biased to me.

Liberal MP talks through his hat

From Pete Baklinski of Campaign Life Coalition:

Liberal MP John-Paul Danko (Hamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas) let the cat out of the bag about one of the real targets of the anti-Christian Bill C-9 that passed third reading on Wednesday:

This is what Baklinski refers to:

     Mr. Speaker, throughout this discussion this afternoon, I have been trying to understand what the Conservative objection to the combatting hate act actually is. The best I can tell is that they are asking for freedom from accountability, basically. In the bill, hate is defined as detestation or vilification. We have seen white nationalist rallies, public symbols of hate, the growth of white supremacist clubs, the diminishment of reproductive rights for women, anti-abortion hate, hate against women, hate against LGBTQ individuals, hate against trans individuals, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia—

Dear John-Paul Danko,

You talk about anti-abortion hate. There is no such thing. There is pro-choice hate however. We experience it every year at the March for Life. We also experience it every October during Life Chain where we are spat at, yelled at, given the finger to, and worse. Why don't you come out to one of these peaceful respectful pro-life events to see for yourself the hate we have to put up with? 

You also speak about "the diminishment of reproductive rights for women, anti-abortion hate, hate against women, hate against LGBTQ individuals, hate against trans individuals". Can you please explain why you think this? Because you might want to look at your government's spending on these pro-abortion/LGBTQ issues. The billions spent by your Liberal government doesn't sound like diminishment to me--sounds more like growth at an exponential rate.

I can assure you that your government does not spend billions on pro-life issues. In fact your Liberal government spends exactly $0 on "anti-abortion". And thanks to your Liberal government, the few dollars we received in the past for the summer jobs program, was revoked. As well, Pro-life people are banned from your Liberal party. 

Discriminating against pro-life people on such a massive scale as this, by your Liberal government, could rightly be called another kind of hatred. How about -- hatred of pro-life people by the government of Canada? 

"hate is defined as detestation or vilification". 

Hmmm...if the shoe fits.
