“Welcome to Earth – population zero,” goes the ominous tagline at the start of every episode of Life After People, the History Channel-produced documentary series that aired its second season just recently in Canada on History Television. It’s our cue to get cozy and enjoy an hour’s worth of empty cities falling to pieces, if they’re not inundated by rivers and seas, [...]
On Sept. 28, the Ontario Superior Court threw out Canada’s three Criminal Code restrictions on prostitution, leading advocates of the sex trade to cheer, editorialists to call for decriminalization of prostitution, and pro-family and religious groups to decry the ruling and its faulty assumptions. Technically, prostitution – the exchange of sex for money – has never been illegal in Canada. In her [...]
I Timothy 2:9-10: “In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly attire, But as it becometh women professing godliness, with good works.” As a young woman, dressing modestly in today’s society is tough. Women don’t even like the sound of the word ‘modesty,’ much [...]
We appear to be living in the darkest of Dark Ages. We have a convicted bombmaker, Inderjit Singh Reyat, as per the Toronto Star (Sept. 10), who repeatedly told the Air India trial, “I don’t know,” “I can’t remember,” “I can’t recall” and lied 19 times during his testimony, according to Crown lawyer Len Doust.

In early October in Ottawa the police arrested five students from Carleton and Queens universities for displaying a pro-life exhibition at Carleton. They were peaceful, merely expressing an opinion and showing people the realities of abortion. Some of the pictures were graphic in nature but then abortion is graphic in nature and death and killing are bloody and nasty. In an [...]
Five pro-life students were arrested on Monday, Oct. 4 at Carleton University in Ottawa as they tried to put up the Genocide Awareness Project to peacefully share the pro-life message on their campus.

Following Ontario Superior Court Justice Susan Himel’s decision to throw out any restrictions on the sex trade as incompatible with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, numerous newspaper editorials called for the issue to be returned to Parliament because elected representatives, not judges should decide social policy. The Ottawa Citizen’s own libertarian stance is that “what consenting adults do is not anyone [...]
In unilaterally striking down three key provisions of the Criminal Code, that prohibit the operation of houses of prostitution in Canada, on Sept. 28, Madam Justice Susan Himel of the Ontario Superior Court indulged in an illegitimate exercise of raw judicial power.

During Remembrance Day solemnities in more recent years, we are frequently reminded that World War II was fought to safeguard “freedom and democracy in Canada.” We rarely hear anymore of the defense of Western civilization, or of Christian civilization, with which the Allied rhetoric of World War II was suffused at the time it was occurring (as in one of Winston Churchill’s [...]
