WCR Letters to the Editor
Remember your elders Mr. Premier
In a newspaper I read a glowing report on your life Mr. Stelmach (WCR, Sept. 3) and, not knowing you, I agree with most of it.
There was just one thing that stood out in my mind - your saying "politicians have lost a lot of respect."
I am a lady of advanced years who would like to ask some questions. I am also very hearing impaired.
Why do the inmates of our prisons get both hearing aids free? It would seem that the government believes that our senior citizens have only one ear and they cannot subsidize two hearing aids. Note - I said subsidize, as we can only apply for $700 for one hearing aid.
Why do people with diabetes have to pay for their own needles, strips, monitors, when the drug addicted and prisoners receive these things free?
We seniors worked hard to make this country and province and we paid into the government through taxes for years and don't receive these lovely perks. I wonder how much more of this is happening in our health care system?
Maybe, just maybe, this is why we don't have too much faith in our politicians.

Contraception is the root of society's dilemma
During the 1970s, people worried and were disturbed about three main happenings fed to them by the secular media. First, population explosion; second, the earth's limited resources; and third, that the desire for a higher lifestyle would be undermined by the growing population.
People abandoned long-held teaching that every life had equal value regardless of its stage, condition or status. People pretended that contraception was acceptable, that abortion wasn't killing and avoided the scientific fact human life begins at conception.
I am convinced that the real evil behind contraception and abortion is the defiance of God. In the act of contraception, man denies God's right over human existence, thus honouring a false god or demonic religion known as contraception and abortion.
Does this sound absurd? Let's have a closer look at this demonic religion: It has sacred dogma (choice); its ruling hierarchy (Planned Parenthood); its theologians (feminist ideology); its temples (abortion clinics); its alters (surgical tables) its ritual victims (primarily babies and secondarily, women); its acolytes and sacristans (clinic workers and death escorts); its congregation (all supporters of contraception and abortion); and its own principle of underlying grace (money).
In short, contraception and abortion are perverse forms of devil worship. Some fruits of this worship are that in Canada 300 abortions are performed per day, legalized sodomy, pornography, euthanasia, polygamy (coming), family breakdown.
God wants prayerful people who adore him in spirit and truth to make up for this blasphemy of destroying the human body. Adoration of God is a primary duty of man.
For the sins of contraception and abortion, prayer, fasting and repentance should be inspired by love of Jesus, based on faith and fed by Scripture. Without public condemnation of contraception by the Catholic Church in Canada, both the Church and Canada will continue to die.
