The Interim will continue to keep readers informed about the drive of homosexuals and lesbians for social acceptance, legal protection and equality of status. Our purpose is and remains to raise awareness about this anti-life, anti-family movement. Editor 1: THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA On June 23 ‘gays’ and lesbians in Ottawa held their first parade ever. Some 500 people were said [...]
A bushel of bad advice PETER DALGLISH: GOOD MAN – WRONG CAUSE It is sad to interview a guy who is well-intentioned, but stubbornly insists on giving out bad advice to all and sundry. Peter Dalglish gave up a legal career and what he said was a “six-figure salary” in order to create Street Kids International, an organization which promotes independence and [...]
What or who is a thanatist? H.E., Winnipeg, Manitoba. The word comes from the Greek word for ‘death.’ Today, a thanatist is a person whose professional calling or function, is to kill someone whose life is judged by others to be of no value, e.g., the terminally ill, the handicapped newborn, the elderly. It has already been suggested that there is a [...]
Ontario Federal Liberals have given pro-life policies high priority in their submission to a National Policy Convention to be held in Hull, Quebec next February. Over 900 delegates attended the Ontario wing of the party’s Annual General Meeting and Policy Rally at McMaster University June 14-16. From 120 policy statements presented to the delegates, only twelve were selected to be sent on [...]
Federal Tories voted against a pro-life resolution at their 1991 bi-ennial conference held in Toronto, August 6-10. The vote by the delegates was 341 against and 155 for, with 57 abstentions. The resolution read: “Be it resolved that the federal laws should be amended to safe-guard the right to life of all children before, during and after birth.” Two pro-abortion Tory speakers [...]
“Wives should regard their husbands as they regard the Lord…Husbands should love their wives just as Christ loved the Church…” (Ephesians 5:21-24) It is no good for pro-lifers to run with the hounds in pursuit of radical change in the current society. Our July editorial noted that the anti-life frame of mind cannot be changed piecemeal and the August editorial that there [...]
Charlottetown. In April, the Charlottetown Rural High School (CRHS) chapter of Home and School persuaded the provincial Federation to reject a nationally distributed AIDS education video. AIDS & YOUTH: A Document for Parents is based on the safer sex approach to AIDS education. It is Health and Welfare Canada’s response to the findings of Dr. Richard Beazley’s national study on Youth and [...]
IT’S ‘BACK TO SCHOOL’ TIME, A MIX OF NOSTALGIA AND NEW BEGINNINGS. In our family, it’s a first, as our almost-four-year-old son will be off to pre-school two afternoons a week. He’s delighted, of course, but veteran moms out there will laugh to learn that I’m a wreck. Like most mothers in my situation, I already miss the time I won’t be [...]
The following is another horror story of modern education. The Christian apologist, G.K. Chesterton once said: “When somebody stops believing in Christianity, he doesn’t stop believing. From then on, he believes in anything at all.” As the educational system abandons Christianity, any number of harebrained superstitions threaten to take its place. The day that parents could leave their children safely in the [...]
Mrs. Grace MacInnis died in Vancouver in August. In the 1960’s she was the only woman MP in the House of Commons. As the daughter of CCF founder J.S. Woodsworth, a one time United Church Minister, she imbibed the socialist worldview with her mother’s milk. This view interprets Christianity as essentially a social reform movement. Unabashed champion As the NDP member for [...]
In April, Toronto Archbishop Aloysius Ambrozic issued a strongly worded ‘no’ to condoms as a solution to the spread of AIDS or as a contraceptive. Yet, York Separate (Catholic) School Board (YSSB) may place its stamp of approval on a revised policy that will contain an explanation of how condom use may prevent AIDS. Circumvent “It seems like the York Region Separate [...]
The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) sprang a surprise at its annual convention. The ethics committee recommended that a fetus be considered a baby after all, sometime around its 20th week of life. Feminists were enraged. Women will continue to be slaves to their wombs, said one. Abortion hearings In November, 1990, at the Senate abortion hearings on Bill C-43, the CMA delegation [...]
Strident population control factions in the pro-planet movement demand further destruction of human life as a panacea for the woes of the world. Their shrill voices can be heard condemning human babies in the womb, as they parade for the rights of baby seals, or snails. The Pro-Life plea for respect for all life is lost amid cries for “abortion rights.” Environmental [...]
The ecological crisis and the struggle for a healthy environment is very much a concern for the pro-life movement. On the negative side, environmentalism threatens to become an anti-people movement, as indicated, for example, in two recent Interim stories on the Green Party in Britain. At the same time, a resurgence of pagan religion and worship threatens to bur what is left [...]
Al the Globe 90 Conference in Vancouver in March, wrote Globe and Mail columnist Terence Corcoran facetiously, the term “sustainable development” was employed 4,279 times by 500 speakers – and none of them knew what it meant. It was wrapped in conceptual fog. When Environment Minister Lucien Bouchard committed our government to “vigorous promotion of the concept of sustainable development,” did that [...]
