Posted by Joel Johannesen

Another addition to the plethora of thinkers across Canada roundly PANNING the liberals’ Morgentaler award agenda.  Winnipeg Sun columnist Joseph Quesnel sends in an email:

I write a weekly column in the Winnipeg Sun and I would be proud to have my column about Morgentaler’s award mentioned or linked to from your blog site. I appreciate all the good work you people do at PTBC..
