Bio
CLC rating: Pro-life
Rating Comments: Has not yet responded to CLC's 2018 Ontario provincial election questionnaire, but as a long-time City Councillor, Minnan-Wong was known to be publicly pro-life. In June 2012, Councillor Minnan-Wong walked out in protest during a motion by fellow councillors to honour Henry Morgentaler with a moment of silence, after the arch-abortionist passed away. Morgentaler admitted to personally having killed over 80,000 children in the womb. Minnan-Wong later told journalists "I have always been pro-life" and that the moment of silence should have been for all the human lives "extinguished" by Morgentaler.
