On January 28, at Fredericton’s Lord Beaverbrook Hotel, two national organizations allegedly representing Canadian women hosted a high profile event, “Come Celebrate; It’s Your Choice.” This celebration marked the 10th anniversary of the Morgentaler Supreme Court decision granting the unrestricted right to abortion on demand, which was hailed by New Brunswick’s elitist feminists as “one of the most important historic events in [...]

Red faces in the Ontario Attorney General’s office after a major break in the trial of four pro-lifers.

Pro-lifers are expressing disappointment following the recent federal by-election to replace staunchly pro-life and pro-family MP Sharon Hayes in the riding of Port Moody-Coquitlam, B.C. Hayes, a member of the Reform party, was forced to resign because of her husband’s severely ill health. Liberal Lou Sekora won the riding over seven other candidates in the by-election March 30, winning 39 per cent [...]
First, it used the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Then it used International Women’s Day. More recently, the United Nations pounced on World Health Day April 7 to push for what it sees as a universal right to abortion. The call was a little more subtle this time, though, and was led by U.S. First Lady Hillary Rodham [...]

But some might argue that politicians do, or at least a small cadre of inner cabinet ministers and the prime minister. Others might posit for special-interest groups, under the thinking that “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” Still others might [...]
The spectre of an activist Supreme Court of Canada that supersedes the jurisdictions of the governments of Canada - not surprisingly, in a left-liberal direction - has reared its head once again with the court’s recent ruling in the Delwin Vriend case. Groups and individuals across Canada are sounding the alarm after the court unanimously decided April 2 that legal protection must [...]
The phrase has sort of odd ring to it. It seems peculiar that Canada, the true north strong and free, would be associated, at least in recent decades, with something as troubling as a day of infamy. On the other hand, we’ve heard stories from the past; stories about the internment of foreign nationals, or the harboring of war criminals, or CIA-sponsored [...]
