Infancy Act amendment will give health-care workers carte blanche Dear Editor: Is atheistic communism, Rus- sian KGB style, coming to Canada? Believe it or not, there are very significant events occuring which indicate that that is just what might be in the wind at this very moment. At the Marian conference held in Denver, Colorado, Dec. 4-6, Josyp Terelya, who spent 22 years in prison in the Soviet Union, and who miraculously survived a night stripped of his clothes, locked in a .cold storage cell, warns that the NDP government in Ontario paid $100,000 for a statue of Lenin which they have erected in Toron- to. “If we look closely enough at the amendment to the Infancy Act, which has passed a third reading in Victoria, can we be blamed for comparing it to the instruments which might well have enabled Stalin, Castro, and other totalitar- jan leaders to capture the youth and establish movements such as the Hitler youth?

But where have the media been, and why such silence from the Opposition; do they agree? It would appear that the amendment gives carte blanche to any ‘‘health-care worker’? ap- pointed by the government to administer any treatment to any child ffom any age without per- mission or reference to the parent. In fact, it was explained that medical practitioners would be forbidden to reveal treatment ad- ministered, to the parent.
