In April, a Harris-Decima poll found that Canadians were evenly split on whether abortion should be part of the government’s maternal health initiative: 48 per cent were opposed to including abortion, while 46 per cent were in favour. However, a new poll from the same company now finds that 58 per cent say abortion should be included while just 30 per cent [...]
Sometimes I wonder why the people of Africa do not positively detest Europe and North America. We have exploited, colonized and raped their continent for centuries and continue to sell arms to their dictators whom we have put in place and then condemn them for spending money on wars. We invaded their countries, destroyed their culture and enforced white privilege [...]
The 1998 Ontario Health and Physical Education Curriculum is less explicit than the revised edition. In the 1998 curriculum, Grade 1 students are only required to learn “the major parts of the body,” but not the proper names of genitalia. In Grade 3, students must outline “the basic human and animal reproductive processes.” There is no reference to learning about gender identity [...]
There are different ways in which sex education is taught around the world. In the Netherlands, the national curriculum, in a primary school target, only mandates that “pupils learn about the makeup of plants, animals and humans and about the form and function of their parts.” Nevertheless, in a society that readily tolerates contraception, sexuality education and abortion, over half of the [...]

The sex education controversy in Ontario has sparked debate about what sort of education is most appropriate for children. For many parents, and certainly among religious and pro-family groups, there is widespread concern and agreement that sex education should delay intercourse, prevent STIs and maintain cultural values, although there is debate as to how it should be taught and at what age. [...]
There are many things to deplore about the lurid sexual education component of the new curriculum which the McGuinty has proposed for all Ontario primary schools. The ideologically-motivated attempt to pervert young children in the name of “sexual health” is, indeed, deplorable, but is also predictable: for years, social liberals have taken fringe psychoanalysts as their gurus—radicals who have exchanged the ancient [...]

After controversy surrounding the federal government’s funding of Toronto Gay Pride festivities, Stephen Harper re-assigned responsibilities for the Marquee Tourism Events Program, which gave $397,500 to the homosexualist organization, to Industry Minister Tony Clement from Minister of State for Small Business and Tourism Diane Ablonczy. Pro-family organizations were outraged that the celebration of homosexuality, which often features scantily clad and naked demonstrators [...]

On May 14, hundreds of students [...]

While the National March for Life grows every year, mostly through the increased efforts of educators and youth returning after positive previous marches, those who have been in the pro-life trenches in the long haul also continue to make the march a key pro-life event every year. Many of them are excited by the growing numbers of participants, the enthusiasm the young [...]
As 12,500 took part in the National March for Life in Ottawa on May 13, pro-lifers who couldn’t make the trip to the nation’s capital had the opportunity to join them in spirit and provide a public witness in their own regions as local pro-life groups, the provincial wings of Campaign Life Coalition and religious organizations organized provincial marches for [...]
