Toronto mayor Rob Ford said he would not take part in the Pride Parade festivities, nor will he be present next Tuesday for the rainbow flag raising at city hall. Instead of taking part in the Pride Parade, Ford said he would do what he does every Canada Day weekend and head to the family cottage in Muskoka. This should not be controversial, [...]
Interim Amusements columnist Rick McGinnis examines the HBO series Game of Thrones in the June issue. McGinnis says: [A]ny Christian knows that, flowing above history’s battlefields are the clouds and sky of our moral striving, constantly inspiring us to look above the wreckage and failure. The world of Game Of Thrones is intent on the battlefield and its carnage, and while it [...]

Mercatornet has a good article by Peter Saunders who declares himself homosceptical -- skeptical of the claims made by the gay rights lobby to normalize their lifestyle. A great term to replace the grammatically illogical homophobic.
From the June issue: "The importance of fathers." The bottom line: both parents are necessary.
Last year when Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper steadfastly refused to include abortion in his maternal health initiative he brought to the G8 summit Canada hosted in June, he was chastised for being out of step with international norms on acknowledging the supposed central importance of abortion in addressing maternal health and infant mortality. But according to the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion research outfit, abortion [...]

Pro-abortion criminality is never made the federal case that pro-life criminality is. Perhaps it is so common that it is not considered newsworthy and a pro-life memorial getting vandalized probably should not warrant national attention. But regardless of the level of criminality by pro-aborts -- never mind the law-breaking taking place in the abortion facilities that Live Action has recently exposed -- it is hardly ever reported beyond the [...]
From our June issue: "Conservatives win majority, but don’t expect much to change." The primary benefit for social conservatives with Harper's majority is that the pro-life movement and pro-family forces should not have to fight defensive battles for the next four years. But at some point, social conservatives should ask the Conservative Party "what have you done for me lately"? It was not surprising [...]
Last week his colleauges in Parliament elected Conservative MP Andrew Scheer as the Speaker of the House of Commons. As LifeSiteNews.com reported today, Scheer is rated pro-life and pro-family by Campaign Life Coalition. In 2009, we had a profile of Scheer in our paper. At the time he said he was unsure if he would run for Speaker, but expressed a strong interest in procedure. However, the [...]
Thomas Friedman trots out the over-population argument as part of his New York Times column "The Earth is full." There are too many people and the world is getting hotter and food prices are increasing and productivity is improving which aggravates climate change and the over-populated planet can't deal with it and so on and so forth. It is a vicious cycle, if you believe these nattering nabobs [...]
Material from our special coverage of Fr. Ted Colleton, a Canadian pro-life hero who passed away in April, is now online. We have an editorial, obituary (with photos), brief remembrances from various pro-life leaders, and excerpts from Fr. Ted's books. He was an Interim columnist for 25 years and an early benefactor and without his support in the 1980s, we would not be around today. This [...]
Americans United for Life is using a video campaign to encourage people to get behind the effort to defund the billion-dollar Planned Parenthood organization. The American Independent has the story. About one-third of PP's revenues come from various levels of government (federal, state and city). AUL president Charmaine Yoest quotes Rep. Mike Pence, who says it is time to let the abortion providers provide for [...]
Jack Kevorkian died last Friday. I am at something of a loss to add anything to what Andrea Mrozek said: "You always knew this was coming. It’s just hard to know what to say when a man like that dies. It takes a bit of a psychopath to kill over 100 people and then have 'no regrets' about that." It is hard to watch [...]
