Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few” (Matthew 9:37). Therefore, the labourers often get asked to do more labour than that for which they have time. In June, I was asked to delegate to the Dufferin Peel Catholic District School Board to request that they cease to fly the Gay [...]

Paul Tuns: On Sept. 28, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement affirming his government’s support for abortion both domestically and abroad to mark International Safe Abortion Day and tweeted his support for abortion. Trudeau tweeted, “In Canada, abortions have been a safe and legal part of health care since 1988. We’ll make sure that continues to be the case. We’ll [...]
With this editorial, we conclude our series surveying the reasons why each of our nation’s national parties should adopt, wholeheartedly, a pro-life platform, and why they should all defend the unborn from the menace of abortion. Having made cases for the Liberals and the New Democrats (and even, in a separate editorial last month, the Greens and the Bloc), we come finally [...]
Is freedom of speech dead in Finland? Paivi Rasanen is an elected Member of Parliament in Finland. In 2022, she and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola faced hate-crime charges for the publication of a 2004 booklet which confirmed the biblical truth that marriage is between a man and a woman. A three-judge panel in Helsinki unanimously decided that it was not the business [...]
Donald DeMarco: In the novel The Brothers Karamazov, Ivan poses a soul-searching question to his brother, one that over time has invited no end of comment. “Suppose,” he asks, “that you are building up a fabric of human destiny with the object of making people happy at last and giving them peace and rest, but that in order to do so it [...]
Rod Taylor, Special to The Interim Editor’s Note: This is an excerpt from Rod Taylor’s Sept. 15 press conference. The shedding of innocent blood in abortion clinics has some very observable economic costs. Since 1970, Canada has killed over 4 million pre-born babies. At a current rate generally estimated at about 100,000 per year, that is the equivalent of about 4,000 classrooms of [...]
Paul Tuns: On Sept. 15, Christian Heritage Party leader Rod Taylor held a press conference to elucidate where the party stands on issues other than abortion while committing itself to “the protection of innocent human life from conception until natural death, a position we still hold . . . and on this position we stand alone.” Held in the Ottawa Press Gallery [...]
While this current series of editorial confines itself to national parties, it is clearly the case that boutique political entities—like the Green Party—and regional ones—like the Bloc Québécois—should abandon their advocacy of abortion as well. The environmental movement has long been the vehicle for a virulent, radical, and dangerous form of anti-human policy. Implicit in the panic about carbon and emissions is [...]
Paul Tuns: Eduardo Verástegui, producer of Bella and Sound of Freedom, declared his candidacy to become president of Mexico.

In the second installment of this series of editorials—a series in which we make the case why each of Canada’s national political parties should be pro-life—we turn our attention to the New Democrats. Last month, readers will recall that the we argued that the Liberal Party should make an about-face and embrace the pro-life position because its long-standing (and endlessly repeated) commitment [...]
Oswald Clark: During a Sept. 17 interview on NBC's Meet the Press with new host Kristen Walker, former president Donald Trump said six-week abortion bans are hurting Republicans and that he would broker a compromise on abortion that would satisfy both pro-life and pro-abortion activists so the country and the Republican Party could move on from the issue. Pro-life activists were quick [...]
