Administration dithers on abortion pill review Oswald Clark, U.S. Correspondent: While American pro-lifers have generally supported Donald Trump as a president and candidate despite the fact he says he does not want a federal law banning abortion, there has been a shift in the movement’s leadership that patience is running short with the Trump administration. Donald Trump points to numerous pro-life policies that [...]
Rick McGinnis: Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements You have to wonder if Paul Ehrlich ever thought he’d live to 93. The biologist and writer – his initial specialty was butterflies, though his ambitions proved much broader – had his death announced this March to what can only be described as a mix of tributes and mockery. We should, according [...]
Thousands of youth march for life in Paris On Jan. 18, about 10,000 people gathered in front of the ‘iconic’ Invalides palace in Paris, France. (The palace includes the Cathedral of Saint-Louis-des-Invalides; the resting place of Napoleon Bonaparte; and was commissioned as a hospital and retirement home for disabled soldiers by King Louis XIV in 1670.)

John Carpay: Benjami Franklin wrote 250 years ago that “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” For decades, the trend in Canada has been towards an ever-increasing body of laws and regulations, so many that even the most diligent and conscientious businessman, school principal, manufacturer and manager of a [...]
Rick McGinnis: Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements At the core of Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson’s new book Breaking Point: The New Big Shifts Putting Canada at Risk is a simple truth that doesn’t get repeated enough. “Canada is not a love story,” they write. “It is a marriage of convenience, a survival strategy conceived a century and a half [...]
Victor Penney: Sports and smut. I’m not a fan of the combination. In general, mixing anything with sexual perversion is a horrible idea, but not everyone feels the same way, at least on the surface. On Jan. 15th, for example, Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the National Hockey League, was asked about his opinion of Heated Rivalry, the sexually explicit hit series [...]

Rory Leishman: On Jan. 26, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights delayed consideration of Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act. That is not sufficient: Parliament should defeat this freedom-stifling bill altogether and also repeal the anti-hate law provisions in the Criminal Code. Government should not stifle the expression of any political viewpoint, no matter how vile. Experience [...]
Paul Tuns: On Feb. 12, Campaign Life Coalition, CitizenGo, Campagne Québec-Vie, and 4 My Canada held a joint press conference at the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery to raise concerns about Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, which opponents say would criminalize quoting certain passages of Scripture.

Tanis Cortens, Feature Writer: In 2025, two Peruvian municipalities passed ordinances giving legal rights to wild stingless bees from the Amazon. According to the Earth Law Center, which campaigned for the ordinances, among the “inherent rights of the bees and their ecosystems” now recognized under law are “the right to exist and thrive, the right to maintain healthy populations, the right to [...]
The pro-life movement in Canada strives to secure legal protection for the unborn; it seeks to establish robust defenses for those menaced by the prospect of euthanasia and the temptation to assisted suicide; and it advocates for sane policies regarding marriage, family, and the recognition of both sexes. The issues and controversies which our threefold campaign impels us to engage are myriad; [...]
Interim Staff: On Feb. 5, three months before the 2026 National March for Life in Ottawa, Campaign Life Coalition unveiled the theme, “Follow Me.” During the announcement video, Josie Luetke, CLC director of education and advocacy, said “‘Follow Me’ is, first and foremost, an invitation to be disciples of Christ—and to be fishers of men,” explaining, “Because as a pro-life movement, we’re [...]
