The only appropriate candidates for adoption are legally married couples who, by physical incapability or reasoned choice, have no children of their own. I contend that, from a right-wing ideology, the only situation where a child can receive nurture is in a family consisting of one-man and one-woman, legally married.

Canadian society is moving towards socialism, and a number of must be recognized, including extending benefits to special interest groups already receiving protection under the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Another fine example of the continuous shift to the left is the inclusion of oral contraceptives in the mandatory prescription drug plan introduced by the Doon Student Association. I have no interest whatsoever in what goes on in bedrooms or hotels, and I do not tell people how to live their lives. But in a free and democratic society, I will not sit idly by while my money finances behavior I do not agree with. Sexual activity is a matter of choice, regardless of natural proclivity, and I won’t bury my head in the sand while a portion of my taxes and my student activity fee goes to finance chosen behaviors of which I disapprove. Former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau once said that the government has no business in the nation’s bedrooms, and I agree. However, residents of those bedrooms have no business advertising their activities to the nation by expecting all students at Doon or on a larger scale, Canadians to willingly pay. If you want to have sex, that’s your decision and I respect it. But if you can’t afford protection, don’t expect my financial support, and inherent flaws
