5.11 The Morgentaler Bombing

On May 18, 1992, the Morgentaler abortion clinic in Toronto was firebombed. Graffiti identifying the Heritage Front was found on a nearby wall. Heritage Front members were interviewed by the police.

The Committee learned that Droege stated that Bristow had told him that no one in the HF was under suspicion but Andrews had told the police to look into the HF. Mitrevski said he did not believe that and he thought that Bristow was causing the same kind of dissention in the right wing as he caused within the left wing.

The Source thinks that the bombing was by a left wing activist to make the government take action against the antiabortionists. Both Bristow and Droege were interviewed by the Morgentaler Task Force.[147] There is nothing in CSIS files to suggest who the culprit was.
