Portugal’s ruling Socialist Party on Tuesday introduced legislation that would enable a referendum to be held in 2005 to determine whether or not voters wish to loosen abortion restrictions in the country,… Reuters AlertNet reports (Reuters AlertNet, 6/29). At present, abortion is illegal in Portugal except in cases of rape or when a pregnant woman’s life is in danger. The Portuguese Parliament in April approved legislation authorizing a national referendum to decriminalize abortion for the duration of the very first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Nevertheless, Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio in Might announced that the referendum could not be held until 2006 due to constitutional restrictions about the timing of referendum votes and elections (Kaiser Day-to-day Reproductive Health Report, 5/5). The proposed legislation would decrease the minimum time required for the president to call a referendum from 60 days to 40 days and would enable a simple parliamentary majority to approve a referendum instead of the presently needed two-thirds majority (Reuters AlertNet, 6/29). “Our proposal is to produce the conditions so that the president can set out a period for the referendum that we want and we propose to hold this year,” Socialist Parliamentary Leader Alberto Martins said (Ertelt, LifeNews.com, 6/29). A vote on the legislation is scheduled for July 8 (Reuters AlertNet, 6/29).

Student LifeNet has expressed disappointment using the decision of the British Medical Association’s (BMA) conference to reject a lowering of the abortion time limit. It is also saddened that the conference has voted to drop its opposition to doctors helping to kill terminally ill patients.

Patrick Leahy, Director of Student LifeNet commented:

‘Although the BMA conference does not represent the views of all doctors, its choice to oppose a lowering with the ???social??? abortion limit is nevertheless disappointing.

‘However, we would like to congratulate the Junior Members Forum (representing younger doctors) on previously passing policy to reduce the abortion limit. We hope they will continue to lobby older doctors to modernise their views on abortion.

‘At a time when there is certainly overwhelming public and political support for reducing the limit, the BMA remains stuck inside the past. Even the pro-abortion group Marie Stopes International and pro-choice politicians have indicated their support.

‘The BMA’s overly technical view of human life implies it ignores wider social and philosophical arguments. These problems need to be addressed by parliament instantly.’

1. Student LifeNet completely supports a reduction inside the “social” time limit as well as the abolition with the discriminatory extended upper time limit for “disabled” babies. This position is supported by the majority of other pro-life groups.

2. The Department of Health has indicated that it can be thinking about establishing a joint committee to evaluation the UK’s abortion laws.

Mt. Royal, Atwater market, Olympic stadium and the Botanical gardens(across the street)Montreal Casino, Nice city especially if you speak French. The deal is: a lot of French people speak English, but you have to remember that the main language is french and don’t expect them to speak English to you. try to speak a little french, they are much more receptive if they see you are trying.Don’t act like they have the problem when they don’t speak English. I am American, my wife is French Canadian and spent 25 years living in Montreal.

Go to the overlook atop Mt. Royal, you can see the whole city and river.

Old Montreal is very beautiful too.

look for a bed and breakfast, that would be good. There not many cheap hotels in Montreal.

why not a hotel?

Most people want the literate to design their homes.

You can order a brochure online from the official Quebec Tourist website: https://www.bonjourquebec.com/us-en/broc

There are so many things to see and do in Montreal!!

- Mount Royal – beautiful park
- La Ronde – the biggest amusement park in Montreal
- City Hall
- Pointe-

I am from Canada, Quebec, but I live in Switzerland now.

from ontario—born in toronto live in brampton
u?

Yes,from Fredericton,New Brunswick!

Yep. Richmond Hill

Vancouver is the world’s most desirable place to live, according to a new survey, while Papua New Guinea’s Port Moresby is at the other end of the scale.

The Canadian city, nestled on the Pacific coast, was one of four locations in that country to rank at the top of the Economist Intelligence Unit’s livability survey, which looked at conditions in 127 cities.

The other top-ranking Canadian cities were Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.

Health Care, Education, Security/Defence, Tourism, and besides Canada is a great place to live.

The most three expensive cities are:

1. Vancouver, British Columbia
2. Toronto, Ontario
3. Ottawa, Ontario.

Ottawa is not that expensive, but it is going up since the last 1.5 years now.

Canada is a very good place to live ,
For the work I use to do I went to Victoria ,Vancouver ,New-Brunswick , Sept-Ilse , Renfrew , Ottawa , Brockville , Kirkland (QC) ,Orlean , Nova-Scotia ,
And if I be having to move to a new province I will go to Nova-Scotia Very nice place ,Peoples are very friendly.
Right now I’M living in Hudson QC , Very nice town but in Quebec we still have the problem of language .
I’m french Canadian and my wife is English Canadian and as a french person I be having no problem in any province we went to ,But my wife can’t not find work well she will be happy ,( first language french ) Mind you some place in Quebec are very nice like here (Hudson) the population are 50% french 505 English And every one spoke the 2 language.
So you have to look around . Take your time if you can And check around .

yes its good

Bearbina is correct !
Canada has been rated as best country to love in.
This is cool country and not racial and politics is very much better as compared to US.
I love CANADA because this is country where I will not be shot at due to my skin color and race.
I love CANADA as I feel that I will not be treated as BLACKS are treated in USA.

I am sorry-If i said anything wrong…I am from INDIA and may be wrong in my thinking and perceptions BUT I do not want to hurt anyone !!

Yes, I agree with all the above answers.

Someone once responded when asked to describe a Canadian, said that they are basically the same as Americans, just that they are not armed.But, really, our differences go much deeper than that.

I have lived in Canada my whole life and there is no country to compare.I have traveled practically every other country in the world (except for Australia and the Far East) and I believe that Canada is the best and has the best to offer!Canadians are noted the world over as being very polite, tolerant to others (we embrace different cultures happily), as well as being very cosmopolitan and sophisticated.We have a great public school system, medical care and social services in place.It is true that the wait for medical care, i.e., hip replacement surgery may take longer than in the States, but it is absolutely free and your wait is based on your condition.I had a total knee replacement, 4 days in hospital, waiting period of 6 months and not one penny did I have to pay, even including follow-up physiotherapy and all clinic visits. I also want to add that, compared to other countries that I have visited, it is not an expensive place to live.In Nova Scotia, where I live, housing, food, etc. is not as expensive as places I have visited in the United States where we have many relatives.

Sites below list much more info on why Canada is so great.

I love living in Canada, but then again I’ve always lived in Canada (Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, & Alberta)… Everyone is going to Alberta right now b/c there is a huge swell in the economy (oil/gas…) there are a ton of jobs here right now… as for expensive, Ontario and BC are, but Alberta has less tax and real estate costs are lower.Hope that helps a little.

Hope this helps!
