Presbyterians rarity among mainline Protestant churches to oppose euthanasia James Schadenberg, Special to The Interim: Euthanasia Prevention Coalition has written about situations where Canadian churches are promoting euthanasia (MAiD) such as when Churchill Park United Church in Winnipeg Man., hosted the euthanasia death of an 86-year-old woman in March 2022. Recently, EPC sponsored a petition against a pro-euthanasia prayer promoted by the United [...]

Chris Smith (right). “The late Allan Douglas was a quiet gentle man” said one of our Campaign Life Coalition regulars. “He was one of those strong silent types” said another, adding, “people like Allan and so many other men and women across Canada are responsible for building the foundation of this [...]
Donald DeMarco: Arthur Rubinstein begins his lengthy autobiography by paying tribute to his aunt Salomea Meyer. Mrs. Rubinstein had given birth to six children. It would be eight years before she would conceive her seventh. Given her situation, it may be understandable that she was reluctant to give birth to a seventh child. The distinguished pianist writes: “I was utterly unwanted by [...]
Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey Josie Luetke: Included in the LGBTQ community’s ever-expanding lexicon for their fantasy world is the phrase “trans erasure.” In an Everyday Feminism article, “non-binary” writer Ayesha Sharma claims, “Trans and gender variant people’s existences are overlooked, invalidated, and erased every single day.” Of course, it is the height of gaslighting, of deceit, to attempt [...]
Rick McGinnis: Perhaps because no place makes us more anxious than the future, there’s a bottomless appetite for predictions about what happens next. Last year Peter Zeihan broke from the usual pack of prognosticators with The End of the World is Just Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization, a thick but very readable book about the world-changing crisis he says has already [...]
Mary Zwicker: The family, the basis upon which society is built, is faced with challenges and threats like never before, as an over-reliance on technology can leave families estranged while at the same time exposing its members to harms such as pornography, even at a young age.

Rory Leishman: Josh Alexander is the Grade 11 student in Renfrew, Ont., who was expelled from his Catholic high school for insisting that transgendered females -- that is to say, boys who think they are girls -- should not be permitted to use the girl’s washrooms. Alexander, of course, is correct. However, it is regrettable that in explaining his position to the [...]
The last canticle of Dante’s Divine Comedy begins with the poet taking stock of his unprecedented enterprise. Thus far, his imaginative journey has taken him, like the epic heroes of old, to the depths of the underworld. But, unlike them, he does not return to the world. Instead, he passes through the realm of forsaken souls to ascend the purgatorial terraces of [...]
How do contraception, abortion, transgenderism and euthanasia fit in? Paul Tuns Editor’s Note: Part I appeared in the March edition of The Interim. Technology, as the writer Sean Haylock points out in a 2017 essay in Crisis “is mechanistic (reductively focused on efficient causation), utilitarian (reasoning by a calculus and willing to treat persons as means to an end), and voluntaristic (taking [...]
Paul Tuns: The Parliamentary Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) issued its report with recommendations that include extending euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide to adolescents deemed mature enough to understand the lethal decision they are making. The joint committee of MPs and senators issued its 138-page report, Medical Assistance in Dying: Choices for Canadians. There is one full section dedicated [...]
Paul Tuns: Beginning April 1, British Columbia taxpayers will pick up the tab on most prescription contraception. In her Feb. 28 budget, provincial Finance Minister Katrine Conroy said that the provincial health plan would cover the full cost of most birth control pills, and all hormonal and copper intrauterine devices, Depo-Provera (an injectable contraceptive), Nexplanon (an implant contraceptive), and the morning-after pill [...]

John Carpay: Censorship spreads like a cancer, starting small but then expanding everywhere. Once upon a time, only 15 years ago, pro-life student clubs were the only groups facing censorship on campus. Pro-life students were barred from renting rooms or other spaces on campus that were freely available to everyone else. Pro-life students were expressly prohibited from setting up recruitment tables at [...]
