Birthpangs and Unrepentant Hippy have pointed the bizarre turn the controversy that the controversy surrounding the Mortgentaler award has taken: A long list of groups backs the call -- 42 in all-- led apparently by Brian Rushfeldt of the Canadian Family Action Coalition.
Forty-two groups may seem impressive. But as is often the case with these people, there is less here than is claimed. You can see the list and complaint in a pdf here, or over at Benediction, and if you look you'll find "David Murrell, Phd, UNB, Economics" -- who is clearly not a group, but an individual.
And some of those listed aren't groups, but private businesses. Consider these three:
That's not all. If you click on the links you'll see that these three businesses share the same address: 156 Berryman Ave, St. Catharines. Presumably this is one pro-life business owner.
I have already complained about the dishonesty that some of Canada's social conservatives have indulged in. This apparently another example.
Update. Follow the link for an up-to-date listing of Rushfeldt's list of 42 organizations calling for the impeachment of Justice Beverley McLachlin.
