The man who has been extolled as a “hero” after putting a stop to what could have been a much worse tragedy at the Washington D.C.-based Family Research Council (FRC), has been released from hospital. Leo Johnson was shot in the arm August 15 shortly around 10 am, after confronting a gunman who allegedly walked into FRC’s building, expressed disagreement with the [...]
Young people like challenges. They like the opportunity to express themselves on a public issue that matters. The Father Ted Colleton Scholarship offers senior high school students a wonderful and meaningful challenge. Now entering its 12th year, the scholarship program continues to be co-sponsored by The Interim and Niagara Region Right to Life. The program calls on students to write an essay [...]
In a shameful display of peevishness, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty recently tightened the Access to Information of public information on Ontario abortion statistics making it very difficult for the public to investigate these figures. This has made a strong case for accusations of taxpayer abuse, by hiding the hard facts as to what is going on. It is hard to tell what [...]

Helen Gurley Brown, the famous former editor of Cosmopolitan, has passed away at the age of 90. As the Wall Street Journal reported, “Cosmo, as it was called, became the sex and style Bible of single girls worldwide.” Both admirers and critics would agree with that assessment. Donald DeMarco wrote about Helen Gurley Brown and her legacy as an architect of [...]

A Crown attorney has warned that Mary Wagner is in for “a tough road” ahead as she faces charges in connection with her arrest at a Toronto abortion site August 15. The Crown attorney, a Ms. Pace, said that her office will be seeking the continued detention of Wagner pending the outcome of hearings into her charges, which include not abiding [...]
Following the reunion, we reminisced about former classmates who hadn’t attended. “Charlie’s not doing so well,” he said, when I asked about one of them. “He’s living with angina.” “He’s left Gaylene?” “Of course not,” he said. “Charlie and Gaylene are happily married.” As he seemed annoyed, I tried to re-start the conversation. I told him that our old [...]
LifeSiteNews.com has coverage of the debate on M-312 yesterday that took place over an hour on a Friday afternoon to a packed gallery (so much for no one caring about this issue). It is remarkable that some politicians are afraid of having Parliament examine modern scientific evidence about life before birth to see whether the 400-year-old legal definition of human being in [...]
For most families, college is the acid test of their parenting, the point when independence is finally granted and the long years of helicopter parenting (hopefully) cease. In the aftermath of three generations that have embraced youthful rebellion as an inevitable stage of life – an idea almost unheard of a century ago – we send our children off to university (or [...]
The Christian Heritage Party of Canada issued a position paper outlining its support for various incremental measures to restrict abortion to offer guidance in what it seems as the best ways to limit abortion in Canada on route to eventually eliminating it. The document, signed by party leader Jim Hnatiuk and deputy leader Rod Taylor reiterates the party’s “unequivocal and unwavering [...]
On August 2, in Phoenix, Arizona, U.S. District Court Judge James Teilborg decided to uphold the ban on abortions after 20 weeks except in cases of medical emergency. The law was founded on the substantial medical evidence available that proves an unborn child can feel pain during an abortion by at least 20 weeks gestation. Other states that maintain similar fetal-pain laws [...]
The pro-abortion Radical Handmaids have invited people to join them for a M-312 Debate Viewing Party which includes a drinking game for watching the parliamentary debate. Note that the party is at the Canadian Union of Postal Workers boardroom at their offices in downtown Ottawa. M-312 is not "anti-choice" as the Radical Handmaids contend. M-312 does not mention abortion. It does not mention [...]
The Daily Telegraph reports that the United Kingdom's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority will hold consultations with an eye to permitting fertility treatment with the DNA of a third parent in order to (get this) "spare all future generations from a host of rare and debilitating conditions." I bet this is over-promising the benefits. And of course, there is no downside. And [...]
In January, the Ontario legislature passed the government’s Bill 122, the Broader Public Sector Accountability Act, which, despite is laudable sounding name, puts the provinces abortion statistics beyond public access. Overall, the BPSAA increases public access to information about hospitals and clinics, but when it comes to abortion, the bill amends the Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection Act – or [...]
