Aid to Women is the only pro-life crisis pregnancy counseling center located directly beside an abortion facility in Canada. Located beside the Cabbagetown Women’s Clinic on Gerrard Street in downtown Toronto, more than two decades Aid to Women has saved babies and mothers from the horrors of abortion by providing life-affirming counseling and material support to expectant mothers considering abortion. The staff [...]
Population pessimists have been braying about overpopulation for more than two centuries, but the doomsayers notwithstanding, life is getting better all the time. On Oct. 31, the 7 billionth person was born. Maybe. Well, probably not. Sometime between last Summer and next Summer the 7 billionth person was added to the global population, depending who you believe and how accurate the statistics [...]
In Hollywood, the maxim “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” isn’t just a saying, it’s a business strategy and a creative philosophy, which is why it was only a matter of time before prime time television went back to the Sixties. With a total of 15 Emmy awards, AMC’s Mad Men has taken the place of The Sopranos as the quality [...]

In recent years, the pro-life contingent within the Conservative caucus has been mostly quiet. Some believed that Prime Minister Stephen Harper would show his “true colours” and prove true charges that he had a hidden agenda, while others bided their time as good team players. A notable exception was a threatened revolt when the Liberals introduced a motion calling upon [...]
In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ preaches upon what seems to be a slight topic: the taking of oaths. He exhorts His listeners “not to swear at all; not by heaven, for it is God’s throne; nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King”; and, amplifying this point [...]
Several doctors speaking at the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society conference in Toronto Sept. 21-24 expressed their concerns about health risks associated with in vitro fertilization. The National Post was the only major Canadian newspaper to report these remarks. Dr. John Barrett, a multiple births expert at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, told attendees on Sept. 21 about the need to restrict IVF [...]
On Oct. 22, more than 2000 people turned out for the Defund Abortion Rally at Queen’s Park organized by Campaign Life Coalition Youth. Eight speakers made the case against funding abortion insisting that the procedure is not medically necessary and highlighting what real health care is not covered by public funds. Campaign Life Coalition has calculated that the direct costs [...]
A clear majority of Ontarians do not want all abortions subsidized by taxpayers, nearly twice as many want abortion facilities to release more information about abortion numbers and costs than do not want these statistics revealed, and few Ontarians know how much the province spends on funding abortion according to a new Abacus Data poll commissioned by The Interim, Campaign Life Coalition, [...]
On Aug. 26 Toronto Cardinal Aloysius Ambrozic passed away at the age of 81 after a lengthy illness. He was a priest for 56 years and bishop for 35, including serving as the ninth archbishop of Toronto from 1990 to 2006. The pro-life movement lost an ally, albeit a complicated one. While some activists have complained to The Interim over the [...]
Linda Gibbons will stand trial on Nov. 4 on a charge of disobeying a court order in connection with her latest demonstration outside a Toronto abortion site this past August 4. According to Gibbons’s lawyer, she will be pleading not guilty. The date was set during a recent appearance before a justice of the peace. Although Gibbons has been conducting [...]
Late in August my TV show debuted on Sun News. The Arena with Michael Coren airs at 7pm ET weeknights, repeated at midnight – so that people in the west can see it at a reasonable time. I should give you all a public health warning right now, I suppose: “What you’re about to see each evening is not suitable for people [...]
The Canadian government is still paying maternal benefits to women who had abortions. The story was reported in The Interim in March 2008, after the Canadian Taxpayers Federation issued its January 31 communiqué, Let’s Talk Taxes, which first brought the issue to light. According to a clarification of the Canadian Labour Code by the Labour Program of Human Resources Development Canada enacted [...]
In an age of instant information, the lack of widely-known facts about abortion is scandalous. To be sure, the mini-industry surrounding the brutal practice of prenatal infanticide is hardly transparent, but the real dearth of clear information about abortion proceeds from the public’s incorrigible lack of curiosity. It is not that such information is unattainable; instead, it is simply unwanted. While corrupt [...]
Abortion costs Canadians taxpayers at least $80 million a year. Government is less than open about the costs of abortion (and other abortion numbers). If abortion is real health care, why is everything about it a secret? When Alissa Golob, head of Campaign Life Coalition Youth, started to prepare for the Oct. 22 Defund Abortion Rally at Queen’s Park she began researching [...]
