CBC's Great Canadian Wish Contest is now over. At the time of this writing, the "Abolish Abortion" wish was ahead by over 1500 votes. The results of the first five wishes at 12:00am, Sun. July 1 were as follows:
9543 Abolish Abortion in Canada
8008 I wish that Canada would remain pro-choice
But wait, nothing happened! Apparently CBC devoted a couple of seconds of broadcast time to the result around 7:30 am, between kids cartoons, inspiring an angry Flanders to threaten to never again watch a station he claims never to watch. All the prayers, all the fasting, added up to squat doodly! Abortion's still legal! The Rapture has not descended!
Meanwhile, Suzanne tries to explain why its so important for Evangelicals to rule Facebook: its apparently like a little corner of Heaven in cyberspace.
In fairness, here is the Campaign Life news release describing the great victory.
