Being pro-life is, as I assume we all know, about much more than standing up for the unborn. It is about community, about family, about love. I know love. I know it very well indeed. Mum telephoned from England last week. I knew, I just knew. "I've got some bad news", she said, crying. "Dad has had a stroke." I was at [...]
You couldn't make it up. I mean, really, you couldn't make it up. The way various actors, media figures and fellow travellers have rallied around Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, often motivated by support for abortion and homosexuality. Ted Turner was there, of course. And he is typical of the breed. Remember Ted? In 1990 the founder of CNN and vice-chairman of [...]
Karen Shoffstall is dead. She was young, she was pretty, she had so much to live for. But she is dead. At the age of 30 the New York resident and Guelph, Ontario native was diagnosed as suffering from multiple sclerosis. The illness is a terrible one, but there are numerous people who live with it for many years, enjoying a fine [...]
I host a nightly television show on Crossroads Television (CTS) entitled Michael Coren Live. My research team books up to 20 guests a week, who are then watched by hundreds of thousands of people. Indeed, we are averaging at 112,000 people a night in Greater Toronto alone! Sometimes there are cancellations, usually because of emergencies or illness. But only once has someone called [...]

I understand the anxiety but I cannot share the logic. Let me say immediately that I hate guns. They terrify me. I have never owned one and I have never really understood why so many Christians [...]
In the last few months in separate incidents several people have been shot and two have died along Toronto's Isabella Street, in the downtown core of Canada's largest city. On September 27, 1995 I wrote a column for another paper describing life on that exact street, where I was forced to live with my family for the month before we moved into [...]
A suburban Toronto school. A young women teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like teacher, most of the hands of the eager young students punch the air like fleshy fireworks. There is, [...]
The story of my relationship with Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Actually there isn't one. Never met the woman, never spoken to her. But she has read two of my columns out on her radio show and that pleased me no end. I was flattered, because whatever minor criticisms one may have of Dr. Laura, she has courageously stood up for the virtues that [...]
