Strange creatures come out of hibernation during an Atlantic Canada spring. It starts with the arrival of a bevy of animal rights crusaders to protest the seal hunt. Some are quite exotic by East Coast standards. This year's flock included Pamela Anderson, Brigitte Bardot and Paul and Heather McCartney - all oblivious to the complexities of the issue, lacking information, even [...]
Judging from the reputation of Justice Marshall Rothstein, and the answers he gave to the questions put to him in the unprecedented public hearing that preceded his appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada, he should make an excellent addition to the country’s top court. Asked by Conservative MP Diane Ablonczy to state his views on the proper role of judges in [...]
Watching Judge Marshall Rothstein, our newest Supreme Court justice, perform was like watching Wayne Gretzky in his prime dodge, circle, hide and evade. Wayne had the aid of a hockey cop dressed in a uniform similar to Wayne’s, who was ready to hospitalize any opponent aiming to hospitalize Wayne. What did we know about Justice Marshall Rothstein? Nothing. Nothing important. And after [...]
I am sure that all readers of The Interim are aware that on March 17, we celebrated the feast of St. Patrick. But it occurred to me that many people may not be aware of the history of St. Patrick. So, I thought it might be useful if I give a summary of his life and activities. St. Patrick, the apostle and [...]
“I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.” (Jude 3) Nobody will dispute that homosexual rights advocates and their supporters have recently won huge battles in our nation. One can scarcely imagine a greater coup than the passage of Bill C-38, which changed the traditional definition of [...]
The Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, according to its grant application form, has come out in support of human embryonic stem cell research by indicating its intent to provide grant funding to researchers. At the same time, the form also shows the foundation’s concern for the proper treatment of animals, by requesting applicants agree with principles enunciated by the Canadian Council on Animal [...]
Following a speech to the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce on Feb. 3, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin of the Supreme Court of Canada was asked for her opinion on the desirability of having Parliament play a more active role in the appointment of judges. A restrained judge would have refused to answer such a politically charged question. What, though, did McLachlin do? She [...]
It’s not going to be tough to say goodbye to the greatest collection of tiny talented, Liberal-leaning radical feminists in the world. Nor to a similar collection of hedonistic, loyal, lightweight Liberal males also owing their unwarranted rise to our highest court to the slavish worship of Pierre Elliott Trudeau’s faulty musings. (Pierre used to say that the government had no business [...]
As we celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph (March 19), I thought this great saint would be a suitable subject for this month’s spiritual reminder. Who was Joseph? The first time we hear of him is in the Gospel of St. Luke, Chapter 1. We are told that an angel appeared to a virgin who was betrothed to a man named Joseph [...]
The English writer Hilaire Belloc wrote about the Barbarian: a man with a perpetual sneer on his lips, who laughs at the fixed convictions of our inheritance. Paula Adamick, in the January issue of Challenge magazine, quoted Belloc: “We sit by and watch the Barbarian, we tolerate him; in the long stretches of peace we are not afraid. We are tickled by [...]
The feast of the Epiphany, or the coming of the wise men to visit Jesus, is one of the most beautiful and meaningful feasts in the calendar of the Catholic church. The word “epiphany” means “manifestation” or “showing forth.” The reason is that this was the “showing forth” of Christ to the Gentiles. The story is found in the Gospel of St. [...]
Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal cancelled its contract in November with national pro-life conference host Campagne Quebec-Vie less than one day before it was scheduled to start. The official reason was the physical danger to the pilgrims and the conference participants because a coalition of small pro-abortion groups had announced two demonstrations in front of the Oratory at the beginning and [...]
I saw a well-dressed man toss a perfectly good newspaper into a garbage can and disappear into the subway. Being a bit curious, I reached into the can and retrieved it. It was a Toronto Star. I was shocked by the blaring headlines: “Federal Liberals crushed!” Underneath were sub-headings: “Stephen Harper wins massive majority,” “Only pro-life Liberals survive” and “Paul Martin loses [...]
In a judgement handed down just four days before Christmas, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin declared on behalf of the Supreme Court of Canada that Canadians have a constitutional right to engage in group sex in a nightclub. The ruling was unprecedented. It outraged the public. And it ran clearly contrary to Section 210(1) of the Criminal Code, which prohibits the practice of [...]
