What the Trudeau Liberals are doing makes no sense. The Canadian Press reports that federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants the Conservative government to make clear how it plans to respond to the Supreme Court's decision on assisted-suicide before October's scheduled election.Earlier this month, the Supreme Court of Canada threw out the Criminal Code prohibitions on euthanasia and assisted-suicide and told Parliament it [...]
Rick McGinnis reviewed Boyhood last year, in which he said it is a "film populated with liberal characters, created from a very liberal sensibility, ends up confirming a deeply conservative tenet simply because you can’t argue with emotional facts." Divorce sucks.
The slaughter of the cartoonists and staff of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo by Islamic terrorists last month forced us to define precisely what we mean by “freedom of speech.” This was long overdue, and judging by some of the attempts made in the weeks after the murders, it would seem we have a long way to go. As everyone must [...]
On February 6, the Supreme Court of Canada threw out the Criminal Code prohibition on euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide. Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, says his organization wants the Canadian government to invoke the notwithstanding clause and urges citizens to contact their MPs to request they stand up for vulnerable Canadians. He includes a list of talking points: People [...]
The Ottawa Citizen reports that former NDP Premier and Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh told the Canadian Senate national security hearings that houses of worship and private schools should be federally licensed. He wants to know what is being taught in these places to ensure that extremism is not being propagated. Dosanjh says that upholding Canadian values will be the litmus test for [...]
There is a protest on February 24 from 11 am to 2 pm against the Ontario government and its plan to implement a radical sex-ed curriculum, a program that the Liberal government won't let parents see until sometime later this Spring (even though the government hopes to implement it by September). Two Ontario Progressive Conservative leadership candidates, Patrick Brown and Monte McNaughton, are [...]
Monte McNaughton (left) has been endorsed for Ontario PC leader by Campaign Life Coalition. He has been a vocal leader against proposed sex-ed in the province. Patrick Brown (right) has been endorsed for Ontario PC leader by Campaign Life Coalition. He has a perfect record on life and family issues. The Ontario Progressive Conservatives will elect a new leader in [...]
In this edition of The Interim, Ontario subscribers will notice a membership form for the Progressive Conservative Party. The Monte McNaughton campaign paid for this insert in the paper to sign up pro-life and pro-family voters to the party in order for them to be able to vote for him in the May PC leadership race. The Interim accepted this as paid [...]
Hugh Scher of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition applauds decision. The pro-euthanasia lobby group Dying with Dignity has been stripped by the Canada Revenue Agency of its charitable tax status. Dying with Dignity was created in 1982 and had charity status from the beginning. In Canada, charities are allowed to allot 10 per cent of their financial and time resources to [...]
Wildrose rules prevent MP Rob Anders from running for leader. In December, Alberta politics was rocked when eight sitting Wildrose MLAs, including party leader Danielle Smith crossed the floor to join the Progressive Conservative government. With the Tories riding high in the polls and the opposition reeling, many pundits are expecting new Premier Jim Prentice to call a spring election, [...]
The murder of a 31-year-old pregnant woman in Windsor, Ontario is leading some people to question why Canada’s laws don’t defend unborn victims of crime. Cassandra Kaake’s body was found by firefighters on Dec. 11 in a house on Benjamin Avenue in the southwestern Ontario city during a call to extinguish a fire. Kaake was seven months pregnant. The cause of her [...]
As the Ontario government gets ready to bring back the radical sex education curriculum for Ontario’s children, here are ten reasons why parents should reject it in spite of the political correctness propaganda that supports it. Children don’t need to know all the mechanics of sex before they are emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually old enough to understand what they are being [...]
In the January edition of The Interim, “Coalition opposes Ontario sex-ed changes,” we erroneously identified the Institute of Marriage and Family Canada as authors of a report on the sex-ed experts used by the Ministry of Education. They did not issue the report. Our files erroneously labeled IMFC and we regret both the mistake linking IMFC to this research and being unable [...]
With the precedent-shattering ruling in Carter v. Canada on Feb. 6, nine robed dictators on the Supreme Court of Canada not only struck down the longstanding ban on physician-assisted suicide in the Criminal Code: They also delivered a lethal blow to democracy and the rule of law in Canada. Consider the evidence: Gloria Taylor, the now deceased person who initiated the Carter case, was tragically afflicted with amyotrophic [...]
Yesterday the Supreme Court of Canada threw out Criminal Code restrictions on doctor-assisted suicide and euthanasia. Wesley Smith says the decision proves words don't mean anything anymore, because according to the nine justices of the SCOC, "An irremediable condition may be one that is wholly remediable." Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (and a member of this paper's editorial [...]
