British Columbia education minister Paul Ramsey recently put on hold the ministry's plans to introduce a new curriculum to eliminate homophobia and heterosexism from B.C.'s schools.

Canada's homosexualist community is gloating over another milestone passed on "the road to equality for homosexuals," as one of their advocates put it, and bragging that the falling-domino insinuation of homosexualism into Canada's social fabric represents progress rather than decay. Many Canadian Christians beg to differ. On April 2, the Supreme Court ruled for the plaintiff in Vreind v. Alberta. Delwin Vriend [...]

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 [...]
