George Grant’s children: Lament for Canadian lives

By Mark Wegierski: Thoughtful conservatives in Canada face a dilemma. Already in 1965, in his famous book, Lament for a Nation: The Defeat of Canadian Nationalism, Canadian traditionalist philosopher George Parkin Grant had pointed to the “impossibility of conservatism” in Canada. His writings have proved increasingly prophetic. Nevertheless, there are some thoughtful conservatives left in Canada, who could be called “George Grant’s [...]

‘The Ruling Class’ or, ‘The Charter at 40’

Stalin was, of course, right about statistics; Pro-life Canadians are all too familiar with our country’s notorious social liberalism. Canada’s abortion policy is one of the most permissive in the world; our country was among the very first to dispense with the traditional definition of marriage; our scant protections against euthanasia erode further every year; and our laws don’t make minimal moral [...]

Canadian judges are neglecting their Charter duties

 By Katherine Kowalchuk:  What put the entire world into a state of great fear in March of 2020? It was the dire prediction of Dr. Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London, who claimed that Covid would be like the Spanish Flu of 1918. The Spanish Flu killed between 50 and 100 million people, at a time when world population was barely a fourth [...]

And then there was this, January 2022

Sexual abuse in Louden County public schools LOUDEN COUNTY, Virginia -- Early this spring, in Louden County, a 15-year-old female student was sexually attacked in the girls’ washroom in her school, by a biological boy in a skirt, who claimed to be “non-binary.” The school board tried to cover it up to the point of moving the boy to another school, where [...]

Whatcott acquitted of hate crime

Interim Staff On Dec. 10, Justice Robert Goldstein of the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto ruled that there was a “reasonable doubt” that Bill Whatcott’s flyer and his actions fit the legal definition for the “wilful promotion of hatred” and acquitted the long-time pro-family activist. If convicted, Whatcott had faced a possible two-year jail term. Whatcott was charged with a hate [...]

Just law must be grounded in truth

By John Carpay: A friend of mine, a priest I have known for 32 years, recently told me to stop complaining about vaccine passports and various lockdown measures (masks, anti-social distancing, etc.) because they exist for the common good and are intended to save lives. Referencing the encyclical Diuturnum Illud, my priestly friend says that disobeying the law is a sin, unless that [...]

Libertarians and social conservatives together

By Andrew Lawton: I hold a somewhat unique position in Canadian politics as the only candidate, to my knowledge, to have the support of both the Campaign Life Coalition and Marc Emery in the same campaign. When I ran for Ontario’s PC party in 2018, I was given a green light by the CLC for my on-record pro-life stance. Emery, the infamous ‘prince [...]

Future shock: why is sci-fi so dystopic?

Rick McGinnis The biggest news since the tentative re-opening of movie theatres is the smashing success of the movie Dune – nearly $400 million worldwide for a film that only tells the story of half the novel it’s based on, and which was delayed for release for a year during lockdown. Critics are predicting the movie could create a franchise to overtake [...]

Traditionalist themes in fantasy and science fiction

Mark Wegierski Editor’s Note: This article is based on a draft of a presentation read at the Fantastic Literature Conference (The Basic Categories of Fantastic Literature Revisited) at the University of Lodz, in Poland, October 21-23, 2012. It is argued that fantasy and science fiction are genres where traditionalist impulses can persist, in an increasingly desacralized, disenchanted, and “mundane” world. The four [...]

Approaching the unthinkable

Stalin was, of course, right about statistics; a million deaths is a figure, a thing to be grasped only by the mind. Like the ancient philosopher, Lucretius, who watched with pleasure a shipwreck from the shore, we can comprehend an integer—62,502,904, say—from the safe distance of abstract intelligibility. What does that number even mean, “sixty-two million, five-hundred-and-two thousand, nine hundred and four”? [...]

States should consider total abortion bans

Oswald Clark If Roe v. Wade is reversed, the abortion issue will likely be dealt with by state legislatures unless Congress passes a law that federalizes the issue. Over the past four years, 19 state legislatures considered bans on all or most abortions, including several that take effect if Roe is overturned. In 2021, 12 total abortion bans statutes were debated in [...]

Excerpts from oral hearings in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization

JUSTICE CLARENCE THOMAS: General Stewart, you focus on the right to abortion, but our jurisprudence seems to -- seem to focus on, in Casey, autonomy; in Roe, privacy. Does it make a difference that we focus on privacy or autonomy or more specifically on abortion? SCOTT STEWART: I think whichever one of those you’re focusing on, Your Honor, particularly if you’re focusing [...]
