Toeing Trudeau’s abortion line

If Prime Minister Justin Trudeau believes in anything, it is abortion. And he wants every Canadian to follow suit. In 2014, Trudeau declared that all Liberal candidates would have to support abortion. In 2018, his government made every organization and company that received federal subsides through the Summer Jobs Program sign an attestation that they supported Charter Rights including abortion (which is [...]

Judge compels Calgary pastor to provide state’s talking points

Paul Tuns On Oct. 13, Calgary ‘street’ pastor Artur Pawlowski and his brother Dawid, were fined, put on probation, and ordered to preach the government’s talking points on the science of COVID-19, following their contempt of court convictions in June for breaking anti-pandemic masking rules. Christopher Scott, owner of the Whistle Stop Cafe in Calgary, was also sentenced for not enforcing mask [...]

Culture is everything

Thirty years ago, in the midst of an American election campaign, then-Vice President Dan Quayle made a speech in Los Angeles. His comments took the recent riots in that city as an occasion to reflect more broadly on the connection between law, society, and family values. While the riots themselves were sparked by a controversial court case and were fueled by racial [...]

Breaking out of the pro-life bubble

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 [...]

Court dismisses federal case against abortion

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 [...]

Women’s rights without motherhood, virtue serves economy not women

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 [...]

Mississippi law challenges Roe

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 [...]

And Then There Was This, October 2021

‘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 [...]

Corrupting the minds of children

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 [...]

Minorities mistreated because of fear, not science

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. [...]

Taking children’s literature seriously

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 [...]

The 23 per cent

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 [...]

Vaccine mandates and religious exemptions

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 [...]
