Patrick Brown shows his true colours

 From his book where he advises Doug Ford on social conservatives:


Thanks To Leslyn Lewis for this quote.

Monday, May 2, 2022

Does anyone believe Patrick Brown?

Dear Patrick Brown,

Do you remember when you told people you were pro-life, then threw us under the bus, because you weren't really pro-life? We remember that very well.

And do you remember when you told people you were against the sex-ed curriculum, but you weren't? We remember that too.

And now you want us to believe that you support free speech rights? 

Sorry Patrick, but you've cooked your goose just once too often. I'd say that goose is pretty darned burnt right now. I'm also pretty certain not a single social conservative will vote for you this time. Maybe we were stupid then, but we aren't that stupid anymore.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

Patricia,

I will always fight to protect the free speech of Canadians.

Even when I disagree with them.

Take what happened to my colleague, Pierre Poilievre, for example.

When Pierre brought his campaign to a brewery in Toronto, the company was forced to take the extraordinary step of issuing a public statement saying they don’t support his political views.

Then, another brewery also distanced themselves from Pierre after he referenced their product in a video.

Many in the media – and even Conservatives – said these incidents prove Pierre is unelectable and cannot win a general election.

To me, that’s not the point.

I disagree with Pierre about lots of things, like his support for banning religious symbols, imposing a snitch line for cultural communities, and Quebec’s Bill 21.

But let me be 100% clear. I will always defend Pierre’s right to free speech – even when I disagree with him.

I’ll fight for his rights, just like I’ll fight for yours, and the rights of every Canadian with the courage to speak out about the things they believe in.

Will you stand up for free speech with me?

If your answer is yes, tap the button here to let me know right now.

Fighting for you,
Mayor Brown

Five candidates one choice - Tanya Granic Allen

I asked Doug Ford, Christine Elliott and Caroline Mulroney a couple of simple questions about how they would treat social conservatives if they won the PC leadership. None of them bothered to answer me. Which is what I expected. Not that I'm cynical or anything.

I don't need to ask Patrick Brown the same questions because of course I wouldn't vote for him even if he was the only candidate running. And I hazard to guess neither will any other social conservative.

I don't need to ask Tanya Granic Allen the same questions. I know her answer.


It's an easy choice.

Dear Caroline, Christine and Doug, I have a question for you

Dear Caroline, Christine and Doug,

Patrick Brown threw social conservatives under the bus after the last leadership convention.

We would like to know what you plan to do about us if you are elected.

Will you

A) do what Patrick Brown did: court us then divorce us?

B) do what Justin Trudeau did: ban us from the party, then harass us with his charter denying policies?

or

C) acknowledge that social conservatives are also tax payers, are not second class citizens, that our views are respected and listened to, and that we be allowed to debate abortion, in what should not be, a theoretical democracy?

Please reply to maloneyp64@gmail.com and I will post your replies. If you choose to ignore my question, this will of, course speak volumes to us.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Patricia Maloney

New FOI reveals even less evidence for abortion bubble zone

Remember I told you about the police reports at 65 Bank St. for 2014 to June 2017? There were 64 incidents in 41 months. That's 1.56 incidents per month. Of those 64 incidents, there were no injuries and no charges laid.

Today I received more information from the police reports. This time for 2010-2013. There were 113 incidents in 48 months. That's 2.35 incident per month. Out of those 113 incidents, there were--once again--no injuries and no charges laid.

This means that in the most recent period (2014 to June, 2017), the number of police reports have actually decreased by 33.6% from the previous three year period (2010 to 2013).

So why do we need a bubble zone at all?

Also remember that the abortion bubble zone law is a direct result of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who discriminates against pro-life people. Watson initiated this law. Watson also took down our pro-life flag at city hall during the March for Life. Watson also refused to respond to my repeated requests for an explanation for why our March for Life was rerouted so 100 masked thugs could divert 14,000 peaceful people.

I guess we could call Ottawa the abortion capital of the world:

  • No protection for life and no protection for the rights of those who defend life
  • Justin Trudeau is the most pro-abortion federal leader ever
  • Kathleen Wynne and Patrick Brown are the most pro-abortion provincial leaders ever. I guess you could say two for the price of one
  • And now we can add Jim Watson as the most pro-abortion mayor ever

China and North Korea have nothing on Canada. How embarrassing.

Conservatives in Ontario are puppets of the Liberals

During our Charter challenge, the Ontario government was told to overturn this clause Section 65.(5.7):
“This Act does not apply to records relating to the provision of abortion services.”
So what did this bunch do to effect this change? Yes, they repealed the clause. But then they added in a new clause. Now they won't allow anyone to go to a specific hospital and ask them how many abortions they are doing (see in red below):
Non-application of Act, provision of abortion services
(13) This Act does not apply to information relating to the provision of abortion services if, 
(a) the information identifies an individual or facility, or it is reasonably foreseeable in the circumstances that it could be utilized, either alone or with other information, to identify an individual or facility; or 
(b) disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to threaten the health or safety of an individual, or the security of a facility or other building. 2017, c. 19, Sched. 2, s. 1 (2). 
Same, pharmacies
(14) A reference in subsection (13) to a facility includes reference to a pharmacy, hospital pharmacy or institutional pharmacy, as those terms are defined in subsection 1 (1) of the Drug and Pharmacies Regulation Act. 2017, c. 19, Sched. 2, s. 1 (2). 
Related statistical information
(15) For greater certainty, this Act applies to statistical or other information relating to the provision of abortion services that does not meet the conditions of clause (13) (a) or (b). 2017, c. 19, Sched. 2, s. 1 (2).
And to add insult to injury--they stuck this new section into Bill 163, Protecting a Woman's Right to Access Abortion Services Act, 2017.

Last time the PCs didn't know what hit them when the Liberals excluded abortion information from FIPPA. They didn't have a clue that it had happened while they slept. This time it's much better--the gutless PCs knowingly voted for the bill.

Thank you Patrick Brown. Kathleen Wynne must love having you in opposition.

Abortion bubble zone - law of unintended consequences

There is an interesting side effect to the abortion bubble zone law. Because of this law, I am far more inclined to go and pray at the abortion facility in Ottawa. We were there again today. We even prayed for Kathleen, Patrick, Justin and Jim.


Mind you, as you can see, they have the entrance to the abortion facility covered up with scaffolding and boards. And there's no construction going on there so what's up with that? Clearly they've done that to prevent us from "observing" the place. And as you know we aren't allowed to "observe" the abortion facility. No. No. No.


Just to make sure I didn't accidentally "observe" the abortion facility, I observed this instead:


Yes. I'm pretty sure I will now be visiting the abortion facility a lot more often now. To pray. For the women; that they will choose life for their pre-born children. For our politicians; that they will stop taking away our rights. For the abortion doctors; that they will stop performing abortions. And all of these prayers are a very good thing indeed.

Abortion bubble zone goes after Catholics - hypocrisy of politicians

See earlier today on this bubble zone law

And All three provincial party leaders have weighed in on Quebec's new law banning face coverings.

Kathleen Wynne's denunciation of Quebec's law.

The media has been badgering politicians for their opinions on Quebec's law since that law was passed. Is the media asking our politicians about this Ontario bubble law? Of course not. Our media doesn't care. Our politicians not only don't care but they are the author of this law.

Discrimination against Catholics. Double standard. Hypocrisy.

Remember the Communists in Russia? How they tried to eradicate Christianity and God?

If we continue to sit back on our complacent little haunches, Catholics and all Christians in Canada will be next.

Abortion bubble zone goes after Catholics: we are in the world we are not of the world

From LifeSite News:
"Ontario’s legislators passed a bill criminalizing pro-life speech and expression outside abortion clinics today by a vote of 86-1. 
MPP Jack MacLaren, a member of the Trillium Party, cast the sole dissenting vote. 
PC Conservative MPPs Sam Oosterhoff, Monte McNaughton and Rick Nicholls were not in the House for the vote."
This morning my sister Maureen and I were scheduled to pray at the abortion facility on Bank St.  We went as planned. We prayed the Rosary. Another lady joined us from Our Lady of Fatima parish. The three of us prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

We made sure we didn't "observe" the abortion facility because that is now illegal. I "observed" the ground in front of me.


None of us "observed" the abortion site.



Heck the birds started singing when we were praying.


Fr. Raymond de Souza calls it secular fundamentalism.

It's amazingly hypocritical that Jim Watson is speaking out against the Niqab ban in Quebec but is perfectly fine with banning Catholics from being at the abortion site.
"In his letter dated Tuesday, Watson pointed out that Ottawa residents regularly use public services across the Ottawa River. 
"I am saddened that, in doing so, they will not enjoy the same freedoms as they do in Ottawa," Watson wrote...  
"...I sincerely hope that, with the opportunity for reflection, your government will abandon what can only be described as a thinly veiled appeal to populist sentiment, in light of the divisive effects."
"They will not enjoy the same freedoms as they do in Ottawa"? 

"Thinly veiled appeal to populist sentiment, in light of the divisive effects"?

Does Watson have a clue as to the hypocrisy and irony of what he's saying? Maybe Watson should do some "reflecting" of his own. In fact it was Watson who instigated this anti-free speech bill

Please email Kathleen, Patrick, Nasir and Jim and tell them what you think of this anti-freedom, anti-Catholic, and anti-free speech bill.

Abortion bubble zone goes after Catholics - part 2

From the Catholic Civil Rights League (CCRL):

  • The CCRL’s opposition to Bill 163 focuses on the following:
  • The government has failed to identify or address any need for the intrusion and limitation into the constitutional right to freedom of expression
  • The bill’s penal sanctions are an intrusion into the federal power over criminal law, and present a lowering of the thresholds typically required to constitute the offence of “harassment” under the Criminal Code
  • All parties by their support of the bill are engaging in political suppression of dissenting viewpoints, with the invention of the need for broad areas of “no go” zones, the total effect of which (conceivably, bubble zones around all pharmacies in urban areas), the bill engages in overreach to impose its dubious objectives
This is what Catholics won't be able to do anymore: Pray peacefully and silently at the abortion facilities across Ontario. 


Please sign the petition. 

Then send an email to Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, Premier Kathleen Wynne, PC leader Patrick Brown, and NDP leader Andrea Horvath telling them to respect our freedom of conscience rights, freedom of religion rights. freedom of assembly rights and freedom of expression rights.

Abortion bubble zone goes after Catholics

Don't kid yourself. This new bubble zone legislation isn't about the supposed harassment that goes on at abortion facilities by pro-life persons. It's about discrimination against Christians.

And we have Strawberry Social Jim Watson to thank for this stupidity.


We already know that there is no need for a bubble zone. My FOI on police reports at 65 Bank Street revealed no assaults where a charge was laid.

This is what the bubble zone will do:
3 (1)  While in an access zone established under section 6 for a clinic or facility, no person shall,  (a)  advise or persuade, or attempt to advise or persuade, a person to refrain from accessing abortion services;  (b)  inform or attempt to inform a person concerning issues related to abortion services, by any means, including oral, written or graphic means;   (c)  perform or attempt to perform an act of disapproval concerning issues related to abortion services, by any means, including oral, written or graphic means;  (d)  persistently request that,           (i)  a person refrain from accessing abortion services, or          (ii)  a protected service provider refrain from providing, or assisting in the provision of, abortion services;  (e)  for the purpose of dissuading a person from accessing abortion services,           (i)  continuously or repeatedly observe the clinic or facility or persons entering or leaving the clinic or facility,          (ii)  physically interfere with or attempt to physically interfere with the person,         (iii)  intimidate or attempt to intimidate the person, or         (iv)  photograph, film, videotape, sketch or in any other way graphically record the person;   (f)  for the purpose of dissuading a protected service provider from providing, or assisting in the provision of, abortion services,           (i)  continuously or repeatedly observe the clinic or facility or persons entering or leaving the clinic or facility,          (ii)  physically interfere with or attempt to physically interfere with the provider,         (iii)  intimidate or attempt to intimidate the provider, or         (iv)  photograph, film, videotape, sketch or in any other way graphically record the provider; or  (g)  do anything prescribed for the purpose of this clause.

Notice this clause:
(i)  continuously or repeatedly observe the clinic or facility or persons entering or leaving the clinic or facility,
I am not kidding. You cannot OBSERVE an abortion facility.

Are Kathleen and friends serious? The only "observing" I've ever seen done at the abortion facility is when people stand across the street silently praying and "observing" said abortion facility. Which Catholics do. Which I have done. Which I will do. During this year's 40 days for life. And at other times. You can't do that. Anymore.

What about my religious right to say the rosary? Is that banned too? Is that what Kathleen and friends have in store for us next?

I'm not even talking about the gross trampling this law will have on our rights to freedom of speech, freedom or assembly, freedom of conscience and freedom of expression.

This is a sneaky witch hunt against practicing Catholics. Of course the Liberals are good at sneaky. They wrote the book on sneaky.

Will the leader of the opposition Patrick Brown speak up for us? I doubt it.

A letter to Patrick Brown - I don't support you

From: Jennifer Snell
To: Garfield Dunlop <Thomas.DeGroot@ontariopc.com>
Cc: Patrick Brown <patrick.brown@pc.ola.org>; MPP Monte McNaughton <monte.mcnaughton@pc.ola.org>

Subject: Re: Jennifer, Here is your invitation to a fundraiser at the Wilcoxs'

To whom is reading this reply: 

I worked very hard to have Patrick Brown elected as leader of the PC party in Ontario. This is something I very much regret doing. 

Patrick is not the leader that he promised to be. He has betrayed people like me. His support of the many liberal policies makes me very very upset. I don't need to list the issues as I'm sure you get the picture. I am a Catholic and live by the teachings of the Catholic Church. I will not support the evil of the current liberal party nor that of the current PC party. 

Please understand this is not personal attack against the good people who remain in the PC party but an indication that thousands of social conservatives like myself will not support the PC party of Ontario under its current leader. In my opinion there is no difference between the liberal party under Kathleen W. and the PC party under Patrick B. 

May God protect Ontario and Canada.

Unless you provide me with an answer that negates that position, I'll let the readers of my blog know this is why I haven't heard back from you on this.

Who pulls Patrick Brown's strings anyway?

You know I have to say. It's pretty impressive when someone running for the federal Conservative leadership, actually speaks out on the Ontario government's hiding of abortion information. That's what Pierre Lemieux has done and is doing.

Heck I can't get Patrick Brown, leader of the Ontario conservative party to speak out on it. Mum's the word for Patrick. I guess after he two-timed us he decided he didn't need us social conservatives. Nope.


And Patrick is the one that you think would care about hiding abortion information. After all it's an obvious low picking fruit he could pluck from Kathleen's lush tree of juicy debacles. But no. Better to just stay quiet about it all. Maybe Kathleen pulls Patrick strings? I don't know but, Pinocchio comes to mind.

This is Pierre's announcement of his support for accountable, open and transparent government. Nope. I've never seen Patrick say anything about this. Too busy jumping to Kathleen's tune I guess.
Governments need to be accountable for how they spend our money.
In 2012, the Ontario Liberals stopped releasing data on how many abortions are performed every year.
Every other procedure is reported - but not abortion data.  This is censorship.
This is contrary to transparency and accountability in a free and democratic society like ours.
What should be available data is being kept from the public.
Right now, a group must take the Liberals to court to get basic information about healthcare – and about how our taxpayer money is being spent.
Such evidence and data are crucial to forming effective public policy and to shaping debate.
As Conservative Leader and Prime Minister, provincial and territorial governments will be required to fully report on how they spend healthcare dollars.
No exceptions.
Will the Ontario Liberals stop hiding this data?  They need to remove the clause they snuck into FIPPA that states “This Act does not apply to records relating to the provision of abortion services.”
Will Patrick Brown, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, commit to making our healthcare spending information public if he is elected Premier in 2018?
Provinces and territories should be accountable for how they spend healthcare dollars, and we need to work together to reverse this censorship and this lack of transparency:  Support my campaign and donate today!

Dear Monte,

Thanks so much for your principled stand on conscience rights in Ontario.

It is so refreshing to see an MPP stand up for what is actually the right thing to do, instead of what is the politically correct thing to do.

Conscience rights for the health care professionals, actually also helps patients, by their knowing that they can go to an institution where conscience rights are entrenched, and therefore feel safe themselves that they will not be put to death. As a volunteer in a long term care facility, I can't tell you how important this is. Many people in our nursing homes are alone and have nobody to advocate for them. Who will protect these people if society does not?

I applaud your efforts and encourage you to not give up your principles like some politicians do.

Sincerely,

Patricia Maloney

Why doesn't Patrick Brown speak out on FOI?

Pierre Lemieux believes in open, transparent and accountable government. He is running for the leadership of the federal Conservative party.

I've never heard Patrick Brown speak out publicly on Kathleen Wynne's government's decision to hide abortion information. Though he did tell me on the phone back in 2014 that he supported my case. But there is nothing at all on the Internet that shows his support.

Funny that it takes a federal Conservative party leadership candidate to speak out on this trampling of freedom of expression rights, but our provincial Conservative leader--who should care considering that health is a provincial matter--says nothing on the subject.

So I just sent Patrick Brown an email and asked him what his position is on this issue. When (if) I receive a response I'll publish it.

Ottawa-Vanier byelection--how about a new beginning?

Ottawa Vanier will be having a byelection, I'm assuming, soon. This week I received a letter from a Liberal nominee hopeful, Ainsley Malhorta.

Who will the Conservative candidate be I wonder? Another automaton who gives the new normal (politically correct) answer on abortion? Will anyone stand up and say that just maybe they are against abortion?

Political correctness has become so boring. Lawrence Solomon writes in the National Post that 2016 marks the end of political correctness:
"2016 wrote the epitaph to political correctness, the most insidious of the evils facing society and also among the most toxic. To silence challengers to today’s orthodoxy, self-styled “social justice warriors” on the left have been quick to label dissenters as racists, sexists, homophobes or Islamophobes, unaware that in previous generations the dissenters from the orthodoxies — those who fought for emancipation of the slaves, women’s suffrage, gay and other civil rights — succeeded precisely because upholders of the orthodoxies were unable to silence dissent."
Dissent anyone? Anyone at all in Ottawa-Vanier? Someone who will stand up against abortion. Who will stand up against political correctness. Who can think for themselves. Who care about something more important that just winning power at all costs--unlike a certain person called Patrick Brown who won the Ontario PC leadership.

I guess that party is aptly named--PC party--the Politically Correct party. Really no different from Kathleen Wynne's party, just a clone of it, really. Just like all the rest of the parties in this country, with the Christian Heritage Party being the lone exception.

And what has political correctness got us?
"Those who see 2016 as an annus horribilis aren’t wrong. The tragic, often politically correct decisions made by the West in recent years have culminated in horrible results; the slaughter in Syria, the migrant crisis, the terrorist attacks being but some of the recent examples. In 2016 we are paying for these sins, but 2016 isn’t to blame. 2016 is merely representative of a new normal. The sinning occurred in years previous.
But 2016 should also be seen as an annus mirabilis; a wonderful year that heralds a return to the old normal. We in the West have awakened to our misfortune, to the box we put ourselves in, and we are now about to pull ourselves out."
Ottawa-Vanier--anyone want to climb out of that box?

This is for you Patrick Brown

Your Afternoon Briefing For Thursday December 22, 2016 

'Twas the day before Queen's Park emptied out for the year, and what to our wondering eyes did appear in our inboxes but a fundraising letter for the STOP THE NEW SEX-ED AGENDA party, written in the style of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Heard: A so-con spin on classic Christmas poem
22.12.2016 Sabrina Nanji Parents

As First Educators' spokeswoman Tanya Granic Allen has put a social conservative spin on the classic holiday poem, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, to raise donations for the newly formed political party headed up by Queenie Yu, the Stop the New Sex-Ed Agenda Party.

Here it is: ‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through Queen’s Park
The politicians fled home, to Strathroy and Lanark.

The polls had been published in The Star and The Post
Kathleen Wynne's numbers were clear - the premier was toast.

Patrick Brown's "blue" team, now turned into "reds"
While visions of power danced in their heads.

With the inappropriate s/x-ed being taught in the schools,
Wynne and Brown thought the parents and public were fools.

When out in the public arose such a clatter,
Parents from every corner of Ontario began to natter.

Concerned parents took to the streets to protest.
Voters throughout Ontario campaigned with zest.

Tanya Granic Allen yelled “Get that s/x-ed repealed!”
In Scarborough's byelection, Queenie Yu ran and appealed.

Patrick Brown upon realizing this was a real threat,
Sat down with his team to see what deal he could get.

After discussions with Tanya who insisted on a repeal in full,
Patrick Brown issued a letter which turned out to be bull.

Tanya said she wanted “repeal”, but Patrick preferred “scrap”,
Later Brown flip-flopped, calling the letter a "mishap".

"There was a mistake, I support it!" declared Brown of Wynne’s s/x-ed,
A “modern” and “socially liberal” party was what he wanted, he said.

But PAFE and Queenie refused to let him get away,
The duplicity of Brown’s positions must be made known today!

"Protect the kids! Defend Parents’ rights! Scrap the s/x-ed!"
MPPs must acknowledge this or thousands will be red.

Now Nicholls, now Hillier, now Cho and Barrett!
On MacLaren, on Monte, on anyone else who will say it!

Having declared war on his base, Brown started to sweat
And set up nominations to block perceived so-con threat.

But PC party president Rick Dykstra had to admit defeat
In a nomination by Sam Oosterhoff which was quite a feat!

Patrick Brown was utterly humiliated and shocked.
"A teen beat Brown in his game!" the media mocked.

Then in November there were two byelections to test,
And Queenie gave voters a vehicle to protest.

A new Party! Stop the New S/x-Ed Agenda, it was called.
Immediately Queenie and her new party had the media enthralled.

Elizabeth in Ottawa ran under the party banner as well
With Queenie campaigning to create momentum and groundswell.

Again, more embarrassment as Patrick had his headlines stolen
By a small party which was a new thorn in his colon.

His eyes - they looked angry! His dimples - how unmerry!
His words were like stingers, and some thought they were scary!

"Enough with the so-cons!" Not another he would allow
As candidates in nominations, Patrick disqualified them- and how!

But the media caught on and demanded an answer.
This war with so-cons was quickly becoming a cancer.

“So what now?” asked people of PAFE and Queenie.
How are we effective if Patrick’s a meanie?

"Fret not!" Tanya said as she inspired hope,
There’s always plan B and plan C to cope.

PAFE is working closely with Queenie and her new party,
Together we’ll be a force and represent our supporters largely.

But we need funds to wage this battle to defend our parental right
As primary educators, and keep up the good fight.

So please donate, click here, and give us a shilling,
You have options - a tax credit or not - how thrilling!

We want to continue exposing Kathleen Wynne and Patrick Brown
And ensure those with anti-family policies are brought down.

So please, give generously, and we’ll represent you right,
"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!"

Some MPPs still have principles

I am happy to see that MPP Monte McNaughton is still speaking out against Kathleen Wynne's radical sex-ed curriculum. Nice to know that McNaughton still stands behind his principles on the subject.

Unlike Patrick Brown, he of throwing-us-under-the bus fame.

November 28, 2016

Patricia,

Did you catch Christina Blizzard's article in the Toronto Sun this weekend? Her article, entitled Parents Opting for Private Schools over sex-ed curriculum, revealed just the latest chapter in Kathleen Wynne’s ongoing sex-education controversy:

127 new private schools have opened in Ontario since 2015.  

127 new schools for parents who believe that the public system cannot give their children the education they wish their children to receive. How do I know that the spike in enrollments is related to the sex-ed issue? Well, because parents all over Ontario have been telling me this for the past year, and I have been listening.

This afternoon at Queen’s Park, I asked Education Minister Mitzie Hunter to release the full statistics on how many students have left the public school system for the private system, the total enrollment in those private schools, as well as the total number of private schools operating in Ontario annually since 2006.

The people of Ontario deserve to know just how much Premier Kathleen Wynne has fractured the public education system with the reckless way her new sex-education curriculum was developed and implemented.
Thank you for your continued support on this important issue.

Yours sincerely,

PS: If you haven't seen it yet, have a look at this article from last month in which I reiterated my position on the sex-education curriculum. I continue to believe that parents will be heard on this important issue. http://www.wallaceburgcourierpress.com/2016/10/10/mcnaughton-maintains-ontarios-premier-mishandled-the-update
