Population collapse in South Korea In the May issue, editor Paul Tuns wrote about “the social consequences of the housing affordability crisis” in Canada. A look into similar problems in South Korea, outlined by the Population Research Institute (Athan Clark, “Sunset in South Korea”), might give Canadians pause at the direction our country is going. Koreans very rarely marry and have children. [...]
Oswald Clark: On May 20, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone wrote to Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, whose congressional district is in the prelate’s archdiocese, to inform her that as a pro-abortion politician she can no longer present herself for Holy Communion when she is in San Francisco. He wrote that the Roman Catholic Church has been “clear and [...]
Interim Staff: On May 10, the Bloc Québecois put forward a motion to eliminate the daily morning prayer that begins the House of Commons proceedings. It was defeated the next day in a 266-56 vote, with Conservative and Liberal MPs voting against the motion, while the Bloc and majority of NDP MPs voting to support it. According to the House of Commons [...]
Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey The news about the potential overturn of Roe v. Wade has re-illuminated our ultimate goal of criminalizing abortion, for no human rights injustice should be legal. The inevitable question, which already arose at our press conference preceding the National March for Life, is whose actions we want criminalized. Are we going to [...]
Interim Staff: In the aftermath of the leaked Dobbs decision that could overturn Roe v. Wade, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government would “move forward as necessary on ensuring that not just under this government but under any future government the rights of women are properly protected.” Trudeau insisted that the majority of MPs “will always defend women’s rights and if [...]
Andrew Lawton: Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was asked what seems like a simple question: “Can you provide a definition for the word woman?” Brown Jackson said she couldn’t, famously attributing it to the fact that she’s “not a biologist.” The question is a necessarily blunt one, because most people know full well what a woman is and are [...]
U.S. Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine – formerly Richard Levine – told NPR that “There is no argument among medical professionals … about the value and importance of gender-affirming care” for children and adolescents. Really? Was Levine being dishonest or is he (willfully) ignorant? There is, in fact, a great deal of debate on such matters, with many European nations putting [...]
Interim Staff: Statistics Canada released data from the 2021 Census that showed just 0.33 per cent of the population identify as either transgender or non-binary. The 2021 Census was the first time Canada -- or any other country -- included gender identification in the general survey, and it found that very few Canadians identified as either transgender or non-binary. There are nearly [...]
Interim Staff: A new directive from Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) states that biological males who “identify” as “women” are now allowed to be transferred from a men’s prison to a women’s facility if given approval by the assistant commissioner for correctional operations and programs. The new policy, released May 11 and titled “Commissioner’s Directive 100 Gender Diverse Offenders,” states that inmate [...]
Paul Tuns: The Canadian Institute for Health Information released abortion statistics for 2020, the last year available, indicating that there were 74,155 reported surgical and chemical abortions in Canada. The data reflects almost all hospital abortions in Canada which must report the number of abortions committed, but may not include abortions carried out through free-standing abortion mills or so-called medical abortions (the [...]
John Carpay: Will Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, empower the federal government to censor controversial and unpopular speech on the internet? Not immediately. But the Online Streaming Act (OSA) is a significant and dangerous first step towards government control of the internet. The stated purpose of the OSA is not particularly controversial: to bring influential streaming services like Netflix, Disney and [...]
Commentary - Donald DeMarco: “The sovereignty of the unqualified” is a bon mot that belongs to the Spanish existentialist Ortega y Gasset. It appears in his 1933 classic, The Revolt of the Masses. The clash between civilization and rule by the masses is a perennial problem. In his book Man Against Mass Society, the French existentialist Gabriel Marcel states that “the masses are [...]

Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements Rick McGinnis: There’s a fallacy that history and progress march in lockstep, and that we are constantly moving forward to an ever better place; it’s the appeal to novelty, which favours the new over everything else, if only because the errors and dangers of the latest idea have not become apparent. Citizens in a thriving [...]
Paul Tuns: The 136-page Final Report of the Expert Panel on MAiD and Mental Illness was submitted to Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos and Justice Minister David Lametti on May 6. Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, said, “similar to previous ‘expert’ reports the Expert Panel offers recommendations but few clear guidelines.” He explained, “the 19 recommendations for implementing MAiD [...]
