Who hears dog whistles?

The Quebec Federation of Medical Specialists does.

Staking out a rare political position on federal matters, the Quebec Federation of Medical Specialists today denounced Bill C-484, the “Unborn Victims of Crime Act,” as a backdoor attempt to recriminalize abortion.

Gaétan Barrette, president of the 8,000-member federation, criticized Liberal Party leader Stéphane Dion for not having voted against the private member’s bill at its second reading on March 5.

“We were astounded to learn that the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada did not find it advisable to take an official stand on this matter and allowed party members a free vote,” Barrette told reporters.
. . .

Barrette expressed concern that were the bill to become law, anti-abortion groups would quickly take advantage of it to take a case to the Supreme Court to make abortion illegal again. “This bill is the first step to giving rights to the fetus and those groups are very happy about that.”

    Is the dog-whistle getting louder? Or is Canada’s hearing just getting better?

    Dog Whistle? That’s a friggin bullhorn. If the Libs weren’t to busy covering their ears, they might do something about it.
