Then a reporter asked: "As someone who's spoken out in strongly moral terms, what's your view on homosexuality?" To begin with, Bush aptly responded: "I am mindful that we're all sinners, and I caution those who may try [...]

A new saint for Quebec

On June 16, 2003, the ardent separatist leader Pierre Bourgault died at the Hotel-Dieu of Montreal. All the members of the Quebec separatist family mourned the loss of this mythological figure.

Don’t trust them

The federal government's approach to homosexual unions is to assuage the concerns of the majority and placate the demands of a vocal minority by legislating same-sex "marriage" while vowing to "protect" churches' right not to perform them. In essence, they're saying to Canada, just trust us. Right. In 1967, the Liberal government of the day legalized contraception and vowed that it would [...]

A marriage debate primer

What is marriage? Marriage is the sacrament of love that precedes the institution of life - the family.
