Vote for Life

In this year’s Christmas letter to priests, Cardinal Ambrozic mentioned the importance of encouraging all parishioners to vote in the federal election to be held on January 23. He pointed out, “This is the best opportunity for parishioners to fulfill their civic duty as citizens.” He hopes the newly elected MPs will respect life and respect traditional marriage.

The Toronto Chinese Catholic Task Force (TCCT), which is formed by the four Chinese parishes of Toronto, will soon provide a summary of the positions on key issues of the various candidates in our ridings in order to help us in our decision on who to vote for.

The members of TCCT had coordinated the participation of the 4 Chinese parishes in the “March for Marriage” in Ottawa, and also recently held the Public Forum against Euthanasia.

Many feel that their vote cannot change the deeply entrenched political reality. That is, in fact, not true because when politicians realize the wishes of the majority, they will alter their platforms. In this election, even though the candidates who support life and respect traditional marriage may not win, the promotion of the culture of life will be moved forward. Let us cast a vote for Life!
