May 12, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – “Are you ready to party and defend life!” shouted the guitarist for the Gethsemane ministries band, to a loud roar of assent, kicking off the rally on Parliament Hill for the 14th annual Canadian National March for Life.
The weather could not have been better for the massive pro-life event – clear, sunny skies, and warm, but with a cool breeze. By 12:30 this afternoon, the lawn in front of Canada’s Parliament buildings was packed with an exuberant crowd, stretching from corner to corner.
The annual event marks the passage of Trudeau’s infamous “Omnibus Bill,” which paved the way for abortion-on-demand in Canada.
Jim Hughes, who stands by the side of the road every year and individually counts marchers as they pass by, told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) that he counted over 15,000 participants this year - a record-breaking crowd. The previous record was around 12,500.
Hughes, the President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), who was introduced during the rally by CLC Youth director Alissa Golob as the “heart and soul of the pro-life movement in Canada,” told those assembled that this year’s crowd “eclipses last year.” “Thank God!” he told LSN.
