Kinsey: Hollywood perpetuates a fraud

Among the latest Hollywood film offerings is Kinsey - a sanitized, celebratory biography of sexologist Alfred Kinsey, starring Liam Neeson in the title role. This film is another attempt to whitewash the career of this "research scientist," who in actual fact, was a notorious sexual deviant skewing research data to promote a perverse agenda. While Hollywood celebrates Kinsey's life, Dr Judith Reisman, [...]

Judgement day for Jean

I had just finished reading Paul Tuns's Jean Chretien: A Legacy of Scandal (a great book and a must-read for people who believe there's justice out there somewhere) when my TV switched on of its own accord and there in full colour was St. Peter at the Golden Gate. Soon, I found myself in a large cavernous room. There were all kinds [...]

Will Chretien book wake up ‘hereditary’ Catholics?

Legend has it that Canada's first Conservative prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, was interrupted on the hustings by a leather-lunged heckler, shouting: "I don't care what you say, John. My father was a Grit, my grandfather was a Grit and by golly, I'm a Grit, too." To which Sir John responded: "I take it that if your father and grandfather were [...]

She was Aid to Women!

When I heard that Joanne Dieleman had retired from Aid to Women, I wanted to write an article about her wonderful, 20-year contribution to pro-life. But as I sat down to write, I realized that I was not familiar enough with the everyday inside workings of Aid to Women, so I asked Joanne's colleague at the crisis pregnancy counselling centre, Robert Hinchey, [...]
