sadly intoned that Justice Minister MacKay has done it again.
What did Mr. MacKay do? Did Mr. MacKay order women to walk naked down the city streets in reparation for breaches of the Criminal Code? No, Mr. MacKay did something far worse. He didnt conform to the politically correct nonsense: illusions and puffery spouted by feminists and the politically correct CBC and its fellow travellers at the Canadian Press. These propagandists promote the insanity that women are exactly and precisely the same as men in every way. We are not. When asked at a meeting of the Ontario Bar Association, why more women were not being appointed to the Bench, Mr. MacKay replied that women were not applying in large numbers. There is some dispute whether Mr. MacKay added that women applicants were concerned that they would be placed on circuit duty (that is travelling around to different communities to hear cases) and, therefore, be away from their families for substantial periods of time. Thats a perfectly legitimate comment. Even with fewer applications, the fact is that 34% of the sitting federal judges today are women, up from 29% under the former Liberal government. Hot on his trail, the CBC next dredged up Mr. MacKays Mothers and Fathers Day Messages to his departmental employees. These messages were written by Mr. MacKays female staff, vetted by his female Director of Communications, and posted by his female Press Secretary. What awful thing did these messages say? The horror of these documents lies in the fact that the Mothers Day message praised the mothers working in the Department of Justice for having two full-time jobs. It stated: By the time many of you have arrived at the offce in the morning, youve already changed diapers, packed lunches, run after school buses, dropped kids off at daycare, taken care of an aging loved one and maybe even thought about dinner. Yet, you come to work every morning ready to make your contribution as a public servant for the beneft of all Canadians and their families. And for this, we are all thankful. The Fathers Day message, apparently written a month later, and of necessity having to say something different, praised the dads for being dedicated fathers. It stated, in part: As we pause to take the time to celebrate Fathers Day this weekend, I wish to take this opportunity to recognize our colleagues who are not only dedicated Department of Justice employees, but are also dedicated fathers, shaping the minds and futures of the next generation of leaders Yet, needless to say, it can also be daunting to consider the immense and life-long infuence we have over our children. Our words, actions and examples greatly mould who they will become. We can only hope that the moments we spend teaching, guiding and loving them will sustain them throughout their lives. The feminists and their supporters irrationally interpreted these two messages as meaning that mothers dont shape the minds of children (do they ever!) and fathers dont change diapers or make lunches, etc. Of course, they do! Apparently, when one is caught up in a frenzy of political correctness, one doesnt see or think logically. Common sense is the frst victim of political correctness.

PAGE 6 CONTENTS The smug, Western nations, especially the US, Canada and the European Union, have been telling African nations that their laws on homosexuality are unacceptable, demanding they be changed to match those of the West. The result of this heavy-handed approach has been a powerful backlash by African countries and others who are putting a stop to what they call cultural terrorism by the West. This backlash was evident at the end of June, when the foreign minister of Uganda, Sam Kutesa, was elected President of the UNs General Assembly. Uganda, a sovereign country, has strong laws opposing homosexuality. The position of President of the General Assembly, who presides over the 193 member states of the UN, is rotated annually among the different regions of the world. It was Africas turn to provide a candidate, and the African states, most of whom ban homosexual acts, put forward only one candidate, Mr. Kutesa. This occurred despite attempts by LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) activists at the UN and the Obama administration, to prevent his election. United States President Obama had announced that US foreign aid to Uganda and other countries would be conditional on the nations LGBT rights. He imposed Visa restrictions on Ugandans and cancelled plans for a US sponsored military exercise in Uganda, to no avail. Uganda was not prepared to change its position on homosexuality. EUROPEANS JOINING AFRICAN NATIONS AGAINST THE WEST It is signifcant that it is not only African nations that are aligning themselves against the West. There is also a quietly growing alignment of nationals in some European countries to oppose the West. They are aligning themselves with Russia. In February 2014, Ugandas President, Yoweri Museveni, hinted that he was seeking closer military ties to Russia because of US meddling on LGBT issues. Russia has strong pro-family laws, including bans on homosexual propaganda aimed at children. The recent election to the European Parliament has seen unprecedented numbers of members who object to the so-called Western decadence exemplifed by the US. Many of the newly elected Parliamentarians are enthusiastic supporters of Russia and its President, Vladimir Putin, as the principle alternative to American dominance. They are infuenced by Mr. Putins image as a muscular foe of homosexuality and decadent Western ways i.e. they see Putin as a counterweight to American power and immorality. These nationalists are no longer being dismissed as fringe cranks, but are regarded as more mainstream, looking to Russia as a force for peace and a bulwark against moral decay. It is not that Mr. Putins recent actions in the Ukraine are approved, but, as stated by Britains Nigel Farage, head of the United Kingdom Independence Party, which is slowly eroding support for the Conservative Party, Mr. Putin is a world leader, admired as an operator, but not as a human being. We are living in strange times, when Mr. Putin speaks publicly in support of Christian morality, and the US President, Barack Obama, speaks publicly in support of homosexuality, abortion, and other anti-family policies. The world seems to be aligning itself along social policy lines, rather than economic or military lines as has occurred in the past. q PAge 2 ReAl Women of Canada MEDIA BIAS AGAINST CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT Perhaps too, the intemperate attacks on Mr. MacKay were caused by another factornamely, the left-wing CBC and Canadian Press carrying on their usual pile-on against the Conservative government, whereby absolutely everything the Conservatives do, even praising mothers and fathers, is contemptible, unworthy and unacceptable. The media invariably seek out the political opponents of the Conservatives and feminists for comments whenever they have an opportunity to attack the Conservatives. Whats the reality here? Statistics Canada gives us an accurate picture of what Moms and Dads are doing: Women in dual earner families spend twice as much time caring for children as men; double the time caring for seniors for 10 hours or more a week; and, 50% more time doing domestic work; Women volunteer more hours than men, 40% to 36%; Only 12% of men are full time at home; and 70% of women are in the workforce but this includes part-time work for as little as a few hours per week, owning their own business or employed in their family business. Women also work far more part- time jobs than do men. This demonstrates that women are very different from men when it comes to the domestic home economy. Rather than impose a cookie-cutter ideology on Canadian men and women, we should recognize the different choices men and women make in the work force and in the domestic home economy, based on their own and their familys requirements. q It is signifcant that it is not only African nations that are aligning themselves against the West. There is also a quietly growing alignment of nationals in some European countries to oppose the West. BACKLASH AGAINST THE VALUES OF THE WEST August 2014 PAge 3 In 1989, when feminism in Canada had reached its zenith, the mad hatters employed at the Canadian Human Rights Commission, ordered the Canada Armed Forces (CAF) to admit women into combat roles. The CAF has strived mightily since then to do so, at a very high fnancial cost, paid out in advertising (for female recruits) and expensive training for those very few who eventually applied and met the medical standards of the program. However, nearly all the female recruits, with only a few exceptions, who engaged in the training course identical to those provided to men, either quit the military entirely or requested re-training at CAFs expense in another feld of military trade. And why not? The Canadian Human Rights Commission had concluded that refusal to accept women in combat roles was due merely to the stereotyping of women. This politically correct perception of women, being equal to men in every way, ignored the reality that female soldiers are, on average, shorter and smaller than men. They also have smaller lung and heart capacity, which is detrimental to endurance, and they have 40 50% less upper body strength. The high physical standards for female recruits, in training for combat duty, directly led to increased injuries for them and their high attrition rate. EQUAL OPPORTUNITY ACT Not only did the CAF fail the Canadian Human Rights Commission mandate to recruit women for combat duty, it also failed to fulfll its legal requirements under the 1995 Employment Equity Act, which required all government departments to provide equal opportunity for employees. Under this Act, the CAF was required to ensure that 25.1% of its members were female, 11.7% visible minorities, and 3.3% aboriginal. The military, despite its best efforts, failed to meet these arbitrary targets, selected, apparently, on the absurd ground that the military must refect Canadas population and society. Women, today, make up only 15% of the military, visible minorities, 4.2% and aboriginals, 1.9%. It is obvious that the military is different from all other departments of the civil service. The volunteers in the CAF must be willing to die and kill for their country. This kind of work appeals mostly to young men with strong roots in Canada, and frequently a family history of military service. Canadians volunteering for the military should be chosen on the basis of merit, not gender and ethnic background, and certainly not to match a bureaucrats dream of social progress. The military is not a social engineering project, but is necessary to protect Canadas interests both here and abroad. SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THE MILITARY Not only is the CAF grappling with the problem of recruiting women in the military, it also has to deal with the problem of sexual assault and harassment of women once they get there. Under the Access to Information Act, it was learned that approximately 1,780 sexual assaults occur in Canadas military each year. That is fve per day. This number includes only the known complaints. This is because of barriers put in the victims way when reporting assaults to superior offcers. Complainants are told their stories are implausible, so they are dismissed. Some women are forced out of the military altogether as administrative burdens. Chief of the Defence Staff, General Thomas J. Lawson, testifed before the House of Commons National Defence Committee during the last week of May, 2014, that the CAF will undertake an external review to examine sexual assaults in the military. The CAF is, at present, looking for a distinguished Canadian with a judicial background to lead it. One of the frst things this external review should examine is the direct link between sexual assaults and the elevated amount of pornography consumption in the military. It has become the new drug of many servicemen and an addictive health hazard. Although it is acknowledged that there are many in the general civilian population who are addicted to internet pornography, its consumption is higher in the military because of the largely young, male population, and the frequent deployment of soldiers away from their families, often for extended periods of time. The CAF has its hands full dealing with women in the military on a number of fronts. Also, women in the military have their hands full too, coping with some aspects of life in the military. Women are as competent and as courageous as men only different. We, on the whole, do some things better than men and sometimes not as well. However, there are some aspects of the military life, such as sexual assault and harassment, which make women more vulnerable. Yet, were supposed to be equal to men in combat, where there is no possibility of protection for women whatsoever. It doesnt make a whole lot of sense. q THE MILITARY IS NOT A HAPPY PLACE FOR WOMEN If you are receiving REALity by Canada Post every two months and use personal e-mail, please let the Ottawa offce know if you would like to switch to the monthly e-mail version.

MESSAGE BOARD PAge 4 ReAl Women of Canada The Northern Ontario Chapter of REAL Women of Canada held its Annual Spring Luncheon in North Bay, Ontario, on Saturday, June 7, 2014. The guest speaker was Andrea Mrozek, the Executive Director of the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada in Ottawa. This Institute is the research arm of Focus on the Family Canada. Andreas talk was entitled: Just a Mother - How the Sexual Revolution Decreased Womens Choices. Andrea spoke about the sexual revolution and its effect on women: that, contrary to the medias portrayal, it decreased, rather than increased, womens choices. Or more to the point: the sexual revolution got rid of the goals that matter the most---by devaluing motherhood and family life. She spoke with conviction, with humility, and with poignancy as well. Andrea says in some regards she is, herself, a victim of the sexual revolution. She mentioned the new extremes women are facing today, about the new normal. She put it more forcefully, quoting from a New York Times columnist, Ross Douthat, who comments that we are now entering a new era of sexual slavery. She told of the extraordinary pressure on girls and women to have sex. She related that asking a girl out is now obsolete, that girls are sexually active at younger and younger ages, and that sexting is commonplace. She quoted statistics which revealed that the more sexual partners a woman has the less likely she is to be married. The Douthat article in the New York Times highlights how, in this new post-sexual revolution era, virginity is for weirdos. Mrozek affrmed that it is a lonely world out there for people with traditional norms. Mrozek relied on Jennifer Roback Morses defnition of the sexual revolution which includes two parts: frst that there is no connection, no link, between sex and children, or sex and marriage. That part is, in Mrozeks view, concluded. The second part includes gender confusion or the idea that biological constructs of gender are false. We are seeing the progression of this in gender-confused children (and of seven year olds being put on hormones!). She quoted statistics to show that cohabitation is now seen by many as the equivalent of marriage, and that divorce is on the increase. She spoke about the effects of divorce on children: children of divorce are less likely to complete school, more likely to experiment with drugs, and more likely to live in poverty. Her research also documented how fundamentally and powerfully this revolution has affected women in the most negative ways and how little it affects men. Women suffer increased levels of depression and anxiety; there is the common phenomenon of pregnancy scares for young women. She spoke about the traumatic effects of abortion. Even though ones lifestyle may be the opposite of traditional our biology is conservative she said. And so, women suffer over and over and over. No one told me motherhood was important, except my parents, she said. We need cultures and communities that are more supportive. I thought education and career were all that mattered, that motherhood and family were sideline issues. This is a view reinforced by her high school and university professors, who never mentioned family and motherhood. Andrea believes that the sexual revolution will be overturned eventually, and that women will have their dignity restored. People want to live authentic lives, she said. q NORTHERN CHAPTERS LUNCHEON THE EFFECTS OF THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION ON WOMEN BY MARY HANSEN, NORTH BAY, ONTARIO, MEMBER OF THE NORTHERN ONTARIO CHAPTER OF REAL WOMEN OF CANADA. Te Northern Chapter of REAL Women of Canada held its Annual Spring Luncheon in North Bay, Ontario. August 2014 PAge 5 GARDASIL COMES OUT OF THE CLOSET When Merck pharmaceutical company placed the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, on the market, it set in motion a massive lobby- ing and advertising campaign to promote its sales. As a result, Merck now receives $20 billion a year globally for the sale of Gardasil. The vaccine was supposed to protect young women from cervical cancer. Mercks campaign to promote the vac- cine played on fears of this cancer and the guilt, especially of mothers, who were advised to protect your daughter. Slowly, however, the truth about Gardasil is coming out of the closet, exposing that the vaccine is a fraud. In January, 2014, Dr. Diane Harper, the leading expert responsible for safety and effectiveness studies of Gardasil, pressed the red alert button on the devastating consequenc- es and irrelevancy of Gardasil. She made this surprising con- fession at the 4 th International Conference on Vaccination in Reston, Virginia. In her speech, Dr. Harper explained that the risk of cervical cancer is extremely low. In fact, she said, 70% of all HPV infections resolve themselves without treat- ment within a year and this number increases to 90% in two years. Further, she stated that cervical cancer is entirely cur- able when detected early through normal Pap screenings. Dr. Harper also referred to the safety aspect of Gar- dasil, stating that all trials of the vaccine were done on chil- dren, aged 15 and above, despite the fact that it is currently being marketed for 9-year-olds. So far, 15,037 girls have re- ported adverse side effects from Gardasil to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), and this number only refects parents who underwent the hurdles required for reporting adverse reactions. 44 girls are offcially known to have died from these vaccines. The reported side ef- fects include Guillian Barr Syndrome (paralysis lasting for years, or permanently sometimes eventually causing suf- focation), lupus, seizures, blood clots, and brain infamma- tion. According to Dr. Harper, parents are usually not made aware of these risks. The next physician to step forward to expose Gardasil was Dr. Bernard Dalbergue, a former physician with Merck, who stated, in the April 2014 issue of the French magazine, Principes de Sant, (Health Principles), that Gardasil will become, the greatest medical scandal of all time because evidence will prove that the vaccine has absolutely no effect on cervical cancer. He stated further that, Gardasils many adverse effects, which destroys lives and even kills, serves no other purpose than to generate proft for the manufacturers. Finally, two virologists, Stephen Krahling and Joan Wlo- chowski, have fled a lawsuit against Gardasils manufacturer, Merck. They argue, in their lawsuit, that Merck has defraud- ed the U.S. public for over 10 years by overstating Gardasils effectiveness. The virologists stated that they have Wit- nessed frsthand the improper testing and data falsifcation in which Merck engaged to artifcially infate the vaccines effcacy fndings. It would seem that the Merck pharmaceutical company is being driven less by moral accountability than by proft and a shareholder driven bottom-line. We have not heard the end of the Gardasil story. q PRO-ABORTION WARREN BUFFETT THE MEDIA DARLING There is no question that billionaire, Warren Buffett, Chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is the medias darling. Since 2001, there have been 545 stories and interviews about Mr. Buffett on ABC, CBC and NBC. In none of this extensive coverage was there any mention of Mr. Buffetts real reason for his fame namely, that he is the sugar daddy of the entire pro-abortion movement. To put his funding in perspective, he has paid out, through his foundation, enough money for abortions to eradicate the equivalent of the entire population of Chicago. Now that is truly population control! He is right up there with infamous genocide makers of history. The media, however, ignore this and instead, ask for Mr. Buffetts opinion on the economy, his business practices, his business predictions, etc. and the media relish his close ties to President Obama. They never reveal that Mr. Buffett has an absolute obsession with population control, which has led to his enormous donations to facilitate abortions. Instead, the media admire and promote Mr. Buffett, calling him the Oracle of Omaha (his foundation is situated in Omaha, Nebraska). It is only through a recent review of the tax returns from Mr. Buffetts foundation, that the vast extent of his abortion funding was revealed. According to these returns, Mr. Buffett gave $1.25 billion between 2001 and 2012 to abortion promoters. Copies of his tax returns between 1997 and 2000 were not available, and these, if found, would undoubtedly reveal even more extensive abortion funding. Some of the major benefciaries of the $1.25 billion that Mr. Buffett has given to pro-abortion organizations include: WARREN BUFFETTS ABORTION FUNDING Planned Parenthood $ 289 million Marie Stopes International A U.K. based international provider of abortions $211 million Two resolutions, 1) Freedom of Speech and 2) Nudity and Indecent Acts During Gay Pride Parades, were passed at the REAL Womens Annual Meeting held in Ottawa on May 9, 2014. The resolutions are as follows: FREEDOM OF SPEECH WHEREAS freedom of speech is a fundamental legal right as set out in Section 2(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which provides Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; AND WHEREAS freedom of speech is necessary for a fourishing democracy with rigorous public debate; AND WHEREAS society is impoverished intellectually, politically and spiritually without the free expression of diverse opinions; AND WHEREAS, the growing intolerance to the diversity of ideas in Canada is contrary to the core value in democracy, which is to respect differing views and opinions; AND WHEREAS attempts to silence and punish those who express certain views are unacceptable in a democratic society; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the principle of tolerance and respect for differing opinions be strongly upheld throughout Canada and those holding non- consensus views be permitted to express them without punishment or disrespect. NUDITY AND INDECENT ACTS DURING GAY PRIDE PARADES WHEREAS homosexuals and lesbians organize annual public parades in Canadian towns and cities: AND WHEREAS displays of simulated sex acts and nudity frequently take place during these parades; AND WHEREAS S.173 of the Criminal Code prohibits indecent acts to take place in a public place; AND WHEREAS, S.174 of the Criminal Code prohibits nudity in a public place; AND WHEREAS in January, 2012, Judge Jon-Jo Douglas of the Ontario Superior Court ruled that public nudity is not an acceptable norm, since it is calculated to shock and, therefore, is against public order; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that police forces in communities in which gay pride parades are held be required to enforce Criminal Code provisions that prohibit public nudity and indecent acts during gay pride parades. q PAge 6 ReAl Women of Canada REALity is a publication of REAL Women of Canada PO Box 8813 Station T Ottawa ON K1G 3J1 Tel 613-236-4001 Fax 613-236-7203 www.realwomenofcanada.ca info@realwomenofcanada.ca SUPPORT REAL WOMEN OF CANADA PLEASE MAKE A CONTRIBUTION TO JOIN OUR WORK TO DEFEND & PROTECT LIFE & THE FAMILY Membership $30/year Groups $50/year Donation ____________ Being a political lobby group, contributions are not tax deductible.
