It was August of this year when I finally got around to visiting the Windsor Casino in Windsor, Ontario, in order to bring the readers of The Interim the reason why 14,000 gamblers (called casino customers) blow $419,000 per day to beat actuarially impossible odds. I think they are going to make a film about it called Blind Optimism. Passing the strict [...]

Several dozen demonstrators lined the walkway of the church where hundreds of pro-lifers were gathered to pray for an end to abortion. As I walked the gauntlet, their unison chant, “bring back the lions” hit me and bounced off. Safely inside, the full significance of their refrain sunk in.

Due to recent federal cutbacks, an organization dedicated to bringing abortion to all corners of the earth will have to operate on a much smaller budget. On April 4, pro-family Canadians happily woke up to the news that the International Planned Parenthood Federation had lost its annual $8 million federal grant which it had used to promote abortion and contraception in Third [...]
Pro-family delegates effectively block contentious language rendering Beijing conference virtually impotent. At the conclusion of the New York Preparatory Committee meeting held March 15- April 7 in preparation for the UN Fourth World Conference on Women, the Draft Platform for Action is heavily bracketed.
