Liana Gordon: The Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform is in the middle of their largest tour ever this summer, bringing never-before-seen photos of abortion to the streets for the Canadian public. According to their website, the CCBR is an “educational human rights organization dedicated to speaking out on behalf of the youngest and most vulnerable members of the human family.” Part of [...]
Hungary fights for the family The European Union, presently comprised of 27 nations, operates through a hybrid system of supranational and intergovernmental decision-making. The larger countries such as Germany and France, are run by governments that are at the vanguard of social liberalism’s many experiments, and they control many decisions in the EU. Currently, they are fighting to strip Hungarian parents of [...]
Joanna Alphonso: Cardus, a non-partisan and Christian research group, released a pair of statistical reports on Canadian families and fertility earlier this year.

Peter Jon Mitchell found the number of children living in married-parent families has declined over the years with just 60 per cent of [...]
From the editor's desk: We have reported in this paper (and to their credit, the corporate media has done a good job covering, too) stories about Canadians being euthanized due to their social circumstances. Men and women, some middle-aged, are choosing to be killed by their doctor because they have trouble paying the rent, live in subsidized housing that does not accommodate [...]
Donald DeMarco: The expression “time on my hands” in ordinary parlance refers to not having anything planned.

One of the most significant and influential philosophers of the modern world is Martin Heidegger (1889-1976). His most important work, in which he discloses his essential view of [...]
Joanna Alphonso: Hundreds of Canadian youth gathered at the 26th National March for Life the week of May 8, which included the candlelight vigil, rally and march, as well as the youth banquet and summit. Since its liberalization in Canada in 1969, abortion has killed more than four million preborn babies, and is currently permitted at any stage of a pregnancy for [...]
Paul Tuns: The Interim asked those in attendance at the National March for Life their motivations for taking part in the rally on Parliament Hill and marching through the streets of the nation’s capital. While united in their desire to give a voice to the unborn, they came to the pro-life issue for a myriad of reasons. Kris Shoemaker traveled with a [...]
Interim Staff: Former one-term MP John Oostrom died on March 4 at the age of 92. The pro-life MP had a short political career, but one in which he clearly stood up for his pro-life beliefs.

Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey It’s perversely fitting that an act that renders so many speechless (literally and figuratively) lacks any appropriate descriptors in speech. “MAiD” or “medical assistance/aid in dying,” as it’s most commonly referred to now, is the latest inception of a long evolution of palatability-tested phrases. “Medically-assisted death” was discarded, presumably because the unfortunately [...]

Angelica Vecchiato: Denver Coleman was born without complications at 4.2 pounds following never-before-attempted brain surgery. The successful surgery comes as a big win for pro-lifers trying to prove the personhood of the unborn child. Campaign Life Coalition director of advocacy and education Josie Luetke is enthusiastic about what the new cutting-edge abilities of preborn healthcare technology logically means for pro-life arguments. She [...]
Rory Leishman: Garnett Genuis is an admirable, pro-life MP. However, with the best of intentions, he has come up with a misconceived proposal for amending the Canadian Human Rights Act that would inadvertently increase the powers of Canada’s human-rights oppressors to harass pro-lifers. At issue is private member’s bill C-257, which Genuis introduced in Parliament last year, that would add “political belief [...]
Angelica Vecchiato: Waterloo Catholic District School Board (WCDSB) trustee Wendy Ashby apologized after calling Christian males “the most dangerous creature on the planet” in a tweet, but only after facing parental backlash.
