Poll shows eugenic attitudes

An anti-euthanasia group says poll results from a survey they commissioned earlier this year illustrate there is no way to provide safeguards to protect those vulnerable to euthanasia and that many Canadians have a eugenic attitude when it comes to people with disabilities. In April, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) collaborated with the Environics Research Group on the Focus Canada Omnibus Survey [...]

I’m all for ‘choice’!

Yes, I decided to come out of the closet. I am all for choice. However I am not a narrow-minded 'choicer' like some people I know. I am for choice for everybody! When I am golfing, for example, I want to have the choice whether to use a seven iron or a nine iron. (Not that it will make any difference anyway.) [...]

Joe was at the wrong party

On this past June 10 former Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark was marshal for the "gay pride" parade in Calgary, Alberta. On being contacted by the organizers he doubtless consulted his agenda, discovered that his "dance card" was open on that date and the rest is history. As to why Mr. Clark was there is anybody's guess, but my best guess is [...]

Trinity Western decision gets mixed reviews

On May 17, the Supreme Court of Canada (SCOC) ruled that the British Columbia College of Teachers cannot discriminate against Trinity Western University because of the school's teaching on homosexuality, a decision which is being viewed as a partial victory for religious freedom in Canada. The BCCT, which accredits teachers in B.C., claimed that TWU's "Community Standards" document which is signed by [...]

The Sore Losers Brigade

When MP homosexual activist Svend Robinson complained about a police rubber bullet that had destroyed his black casual pants and injured his leg during a protest at the recent Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, I was heartened by the speed with which the National Post came to his aid, with their New Pants for Svend Fund. I am sorry, but [...]

When Juergen Severloh came to the Crisis Pregnancy Centre of Winnipeg on the Saturday morning of March 17, he found the words "Anti-Choice F---ers" spray painted in bright yellow letters over the window of the building, and what he estimated to be at least a gallon of blood-red paint splattered on the walls.

A tempting way to go

The biggest failing in the world of politics today may be gullibility. You tell a politician with a sincere ring in your voice a whopping lie and he believes you! At one time with a pained look in their face they reached out for your neck to strangle you. Now they call in some flunkies and order them to see what they [...]

He is risen for you and me

Another Easter. Remembered by some, ignored by others or exploited as a mere few days break from work. We in the pro-life movement tend to know its real meaning. First He is interrogated, abused, threatened, both by the imperialist thugs who have raped His country and by the collaborators who have allowed the invaders to have their way. Then a group of [...]
