Mike Schouten is the director of We Need a Law<br />

Canada, North Korea and China are the only three<br />

countries in the world that have no laws to protect<br />

pre-born life.<br />

Mike Schouten is the director of We Need a Law.<br />

He, along with eight volunteers and in partnership<br />

with the Association for Reformed Political Actions<br />

A peaceful rally was held on Main Street<br />

(ARPA) began the Life Tour in Moncton on September<br />

23. They plan to end on October 17 in Vancouver.<br />

The goal is to make political candidates and the general<br />

public aware of the campaign. Recognizing that<br />

change is done in a series of steps, they are starting<br />

with laws with which they believe everyone can<br />

agree. “To change the culture, you have to engage the<br />

culture,” explains Mike Schouten. “This isn’t a prolife<br />

issue. It’s a human rights issue.”<br />

Because the pro-life movement meets with some resistance,<br />

We Need a Law would like people to ask<br />

their candidates about their stand on the following<br />

three issues:<br />

1. Late term abortion. Abortions are permitted even<br />

after a fetus can survive outside the womb. Instead,<br />

adoption could be a viable option.<br />

2. Sex selection abortion. Developing countries often<br />

make headlines by denying girls the right to education,<br />

or by selling or destroying female babies. Canadian<br />

law allows for babies to be aborted if the parents<br />

want a child of the other sex. Most often, girls are<br />

aborted.<br />

3. Pre-born victims of crime. There are no laws recognizing<br />

life until birth. This means that any crime<br />

committed against a pregnant woman is treated as a<br />

single crime. There is no justice for the unborn child.<br />

After a noon hour rally in Moose Jaw, the Life Tour<br />

moved on to Saskatoon for an evening event and will<br />

be in Vancouver before Election Day.<br />

Casino makes huge profits<br />

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express<br />

Saskatchewan Gaming Corporation casinos in Moose Jaw and Regina are on<br />

track to put $51.9 million profits into provincial government bank accounts this<br />

year.<br />

In first half financial statements the corporation indicates it has used “strong expense<br />

management” to achieve the net income position planned.<br />

Expenses have been reduced by $2.2 million to June 30 with declines in labour<br />

cost variances, printing, postage, communication, advertising and promotion.<br />

Revenues for the first six months of the year fell 1.1 per cent to $62.59 million.<br />

Guest counts increased by one-half per cent over 2014. No breakdown of guest<br />

count changes by casino was provided.<br />

But guest counts were unable to alleviate small average spend per slot guest. And<br />

gaming table revenues fell by $800,000 during the period.<br />

Sask Gaming paid the government $19.5 million to June 30, an increase of about<br />

$1.1 million over 2014.<br />

The Crown Corporation still earned 43 per cent return on equity in the casino<br />

operations. The operation has $12.8 million cash and $11.7 million debt.<br />
