QUEBEC CITY (LifeSiteNews) –– In a move being likened to “something out of a dystopian novel,” the pro-abortion provincial government of Quebec has banned a religious group from having an event at a public convention center because of the organization’s pro-life moral ethic.
Harvest Ministries International, which is based out of British Columbia, had planned to hold a religious, cultural, and artistic event called the “Battle for Canada,” at the province of Quebec’s “Centre des congrès de Quebec” from June 23 to July 2.
However, after the event was announced, earlier this month Quebec’s minister of tourism Caroline Proulx – with the full blessing of Quebec Premier François Legault of the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) – told the convention center’s CEO to pull the plug on Harvest’s gathering due to its supposed “anti-abortion” theme.
Said Legault when asked by the press why he chose to back his minister’s canceling of the event, “We will not permit anti-abortion groups the ability to conduct big events in public bodies.”
As for Proulx, she rationalized the event being cancelled by claiming Harvest Ministries’ event “goes against a fundamental principle of Quebec.”
