Think that'd be bigger news y'know?

It started with a Fox News article published today from some guy representing the "Alberta 51 Project" ImageImage Who's the Alberta 51 project, this burgeoning group of freedom fighters Fox spoke to?

1. The Canadian Parliament's voted on two bills that would attempt to limit abortion in some form over the past six years. One motion was supported by 68% of sitting Conservative MPs, and the other by 96% of Conservative MPs.

Let's talk about those bills: 2. Canada's Conservatives outwardly says all the right polite, genteel Canadian pro-choice things. Canadians, after all, are overwhelmingly (70-80%, per polls) pro-choice. But even if Tories can't be overt, they still try to sneak in anti-choice legislation through the back door.

The year is 1935, the height of the Depression. The Toronto Star is undertaking an investigation.
