Description

March 28 Toronto The right-wing group Renaissance Ontario published a full-page advertisement in the Toronto Star, congratulating Premier Bill Davis and the PC party for their victory in the March 19, 1981, Ontario provincial election, and expressing gratitude "for the turning of the tide of permissiveness." Renaissance also appealed to the Ontario Tories to maintain their traditional opposition to abortion and homosexuality during debate on the proposed Constitution Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Renaissance was later denounced in the House of Commons by Pauline Jewett (NDP–New Westminster-Coquitlam) as a "hate organization" posing as a charity.
