A vivid dream in the dead of night set the stage for my revelation on the abortion debate—a revelation that I can't keep to myself. As I stand on the precipice of my 90th birthday, the memories of a different Canada, one from my youth, flood back, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts on how abortion has reshaped our nation's moral and cultural landscape. 

This episode isn't for the faint of heart, as I confront the uncomfortable truth that each abortion, in my view, extinguishes a potential life that's divinely sparked at the moment of conception. With religious observances setting the scene, I challenge the defense of abortion as women's healthcare and scrutinize the demographic changes within our country, pondering the long-term consequences on the white race and the Christian faith. There's a chilling effect, a sense that we're at a crossroads, and I urge listeners to consider the spiritual and national repercussions of a practice I believe goes against God's will. Join me for an unflinching exploration of a topic that continues to divide and define us.
