Paul Tuns Earlier this year, Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall introduced Bill C-233 that would have outlawed sex-selective abortion which was defeated. As disheartening as the legislative loss was, how little public debate there was over the practice of prenatal gendercide. If this was a failing, it was not the fault of Wagantall; the problem was with the pro-life movement. While pro-life organizations [...]
Paul Tuns In 2019, a Nova Scotia woman sought an injunction to stop all abortions in Canada, the funding of abortions, and $500 million in punitive damages, and legal protection from discrimination for those who take part in pro-life activities. She argues that Canada is illegally killing preborn babies by permitting abortion. Last month, Federal Court of Appeal Justice J.D. Denis Pelletier [...]
Rick McGinnis Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements Late this summer The New York Times published a story on Disney’s latest generation of animatronic attractions at their theme parks. Disney’s animatronic performers are a series of creations that go back to 1963 and the opening of the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland; they include the talking Abe Lincoln that debuted at [...]
The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision by Erika Bachiochi (Notre Dame Press, $47.95, 422 pages) Emma Castellino Review Well into the twentieth century, the “founding mothers” of women’s rights were pro-marriage, pro-motherhood, and pro-life. The modern feminist movement, conversely, not only no longer subscribes to these views, but actively works against them pro forma. What happened? In The Rights of [...]
Oswald Clark Analysis The Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral arguments in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Dec. 1. The outcome of the case will not only determine the fate of the Mississippi state law outlawing abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, but possibly the fate of the infamous 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that found within [...]
‘Pregnant’ male mice SHANGHAI -- In what is being called “Frankenscience,” a team at the Naval Medical Academy in Shanghai led by Zhang Rongjia and Liu Yuhan, revealed their research on laboratory rats, in which they transferred the uteruses of female rats into the bodies of male rats and reported “male pregnancy.” The experiments resulted in death the vast majority of the [...]
Donald DeMarco Commentary: Author, Carly Manes, who describes herself as “white, queer, and Jewish,” together with illustrator May, who goes by that singular name and identifies herself as a “brown, genderqueer cultural worker,” have produced What’s an Abortion Anyway? in a concerted attempt to propagandize children (ages 8+) into accepting abortion. Since nearly 60 per cent of women who have had abortions [...]
Canadians who support mandatory vaccination policies (with the loss of basic civil liberties and human rights for the non-compliant) are no doubt well-intentioned. But good intentions are no substitute for medical and scientific evidence. The new COVID shots do not prevent the spread of COVID, as evidenced by the numerous COVID outbreaks amongst the double-vaccinated in Israel, Iceland, and around the world. [...]

Emma Castellino Review: Before Austen Comes Aesop: The Children’s Great Books and How to Experience Them by Cheri Blomquist (Ignatius Press, $23.95, 272 pages) “Nobody else understands it, but I know that William Shakespeare was a black woman.” This quote, taken from an address Maya Angelou gave in 1977 (The Role of Art in Life), sums up the perfect vitality of the [...]
Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey I am unvaccinated. These days, that admission feels like a confession, rendering me more of a social leper than if I had stated “I am undocumented” or “I am HIV positive.” As I wrote earlier in the year, I believe everyone should be equipped with all the information necessary to decide for themselves [...]
Interim Staff: As the push for universal vaccination continues with provinces creating vaccine passports for residents to use in order to access non-essential services such as gyms, restaurants and many other entities including universities and (in Moncton, New Brunswick) Catholic churches requiring proof of vaccination to enter premises, some who are opposed to the vaccines for pragmatic or principled reasons are looking [...]
Interim Staff On Sept. 1, the Texas Heartbeat Act, which protects preborn children at six weeks gestation, took effect after the U.S. Supreme Court denied a request (on narrow procedural grounds) to throw out the law. The Texas Heartbeat Act provides no criminal sanctions for abortions committed after a heartbeat is detectable, typically around six weeks. Instead, the law, also known as [...]
Paul Tuns From the editor’s desk: This paper’s editorial advisory board consists of members that have diverse opinions about COVID-related public policy. At times, some members have wanted the paper to address COVID issues head-on. Others, including your editor, are more reticent. This paper opposes vaccinations and other treatments that utilize cell lines derived from aborted babies and, of course, we strongly [...]
Rory Leishman: Among the many disgraceful policies championed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau during his inglorious political career, one of the worst has been his insistence that a principled physician has no right in conscience to refuse to collaborate in the deliberate killing of a baby in the womb. During the federal election campaign, rights of conscience became the focus on August [...]
