Going the wrong way

Donald DeMarco: In a 1964 football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers, Jim Marshall picked a fumble and ran 66 yards in the wrong direction.  When he crossed his own goal line, he threw the ball into the seats in celebration for what he thought was a Viking touchdown. The gaffe has stigmatized Marshall ever since. As a [...]

Courts ignore evidence of serious lockdown harms

John Carpay: The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms requires governments to justify any law that violates one or more of our Charter freedoms of conscience, religions, expressional, association, mobility, and peaceful assembly. Unless the government can provide persuasive evidence in court to show that its law or policy is doing more good than harm, Canadian judges are morally and legally obligated [...]

Safer-supply experiment failing

Rory Leishman: Rampant, out-of-control, drug abuse is a serious problem all across Canada, but nowhere more so than in British Columbia. According to the B.C. Coroners Service, “Unregulated drug toxicity is the leading cause of death in British Columbia for people aged 10 to 59, accounting for more deaths than homicides, suicides, accidents, and natural disease combined.” What is the cause of [...]

State-sanctioned sterility

As many provinces celebrate Family Day, there is a movement afoot, in both Ontario and Manitoba, to follow the example of British Columbia in providing universal coverage for contraception; in that fact, of course, there is no little irony. Just as the holiday points to the indisputable facts of the family—and every citizen’s origin therein—there is a push for the pharmaceutical suppression [...]

Two cheers for Family Day

In mid-February, Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Saskatchewan will celebrate Family Day. But what can such a holiday mean in an age when marriage is no longer understood to be the fertile, permanent union of man and a woman; when the very words “mother” and “father” are avoided for being too-sex-specific; and when our culture, mired in Soviet-era levels of [...]

Being honest here

Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey I remember finding it so ironic seeing a Planned Parenthood poster in Rory Gilmore’s dorm room, given that there would be no Rory Gilmore—and no Gilmore Girls television show for me to watch—had Rory’s mom gone to Planned Parenthood when she got pregnant at 15.  There is no story to tell when you’re dead.

Exposé of Dying with Dignity’s finances, influence

Paul Tuns: The left-leaning Canadian magazine The Walrus published a lengthy article on the pro-euthanasia lobby group Dying with Dignity Canada (DWD Canada) illustrating its influence on the government. Written by Miranda Schreiber, “The lobby group that owns the conversation around assisted deaths,” the 3400-word in-depth report provided what Alex Schadenberg, executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition, called “important information about [...]

The euthanasia lobby’s ‘bait and switch’ tactics

Alex Schadenberg, Special to The Interim: On January 8, I published an article titled: Assisted suicide bills must be defeated in at least 10 U.S. states. Now the assisted suicide lobby are stating that they are sponsoring assisted suicide bills in at least 16 states. The current states with a new bill are: Florida, Indiana, Missouri, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, [...]

Bad art for bad times: hitting the creative dead end

Rick McGinnis: Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements Last fall, film critic Christian Toto wrote a column asking why conservative creators – authors, filmmakers, musicians and comedians – have a hard time getting their work promoted to the audiences they’re trying to reach because conservative news media is so unenthusiastic about covering and promoting their work. “The Left maintains a strong, [...]

Interim Staff The Ontario Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Toronto Catholic District School Board trustee Mike Del Grande, granting him leave to appeal a lower court ruling that rejected his constitutional and administrative law arguments to overturn the board’s sanctions against him for speaking out against the LGBTQ ideology in Catholic schools.
