The decision came when Justice Patrick Dohm awarded the plaintiff in a lesbian “marriage” a half interest in the “family” home and a 20% interest in two properties owned by the [...]

Musically, it is a delight to listen to, with soft voice and soft keyboard overlays.

On Tuesday March 4, Toronto’s City TV aired a program entitled “Whatever Happened to the Women’s Movement,” part two of a four part series.

I am writing this in January 1986. It was announced on the radio this morning that Maureen McTeer, a “practising Roman Catholic” and wife of Joe Clark, has agreed to become an honorary director of CARAL. The announcement went on to say something to the effect that, while Ms. McTeer would not have an abortion herself, she supports the right of any [...]
