This month, we present details and a rating of the Tories on some of the issues most important to social conservatives.Although there is a lot of criticism [...]
On Jan. 20, I was a guest on the Crossroads Television System program,The Michael Coren Show. The subject was The Nuremberg Files website. The other guest, by telephone, was Rev. Donald Spitz, of a group called Pro-Life Virginia. Spitz is a close friend of NF creator Neal Horsley. The Nuremberg Files is what we at Campaign Life Coalition call "anti-abortion" rather than pro-life. [...]
"Religious leaders didn't pull the trigger on Dr. Slepian or bash in the skull of Matthew Shepard, but their blood is dripping off the hands of religious leaders who have, with vitriolic language, incited zealous followers to murder abortion doctors and gays and lesbians. "We must hold accountable the Pope, the bishops, local clergy, conservative Protestant leaders such as Dr. [...]
Tory Senator Ron Ghitter, Q.C., believes that religious conservatives "pose the greatest threat to the maintenance and advancement of human rights in our nation." In Ghitter's estimation, "theo-conservatives" are more dangerous to Canadian society than "skinheads, the Aryan Nation and white supremacists." Senator Ghitter's recent address entitled, "Theo-conservatism: A Threat to Human Rights," delivered at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B., amounts [...]
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity - W. B. Yeats, "The Second Coming" Unfortunately, these oft-quoted lines ring true now even more than when they were written in 1920. They point to one of the most peculiar tragedies of modern culture: while Error asserts itself aggressively with unblinking self-confidence, Truth can barely clear its throat [...]
Last month, part one of this article traced the history of legalized abortion from 1969 to 1988. The 1988 Regina vs. Morgentaler decision, which left Canada lawless with regard to abortion, has come back to haunt our current Supreme Court Chief Justice, Antonio Lamer. Justice Lamer shocked Canadians last winter with his admission that he voted to strike down Section 287 of [...]
January 20 started off much like any other day at the "Cabbagetown Women's Clinic" in Toronto. In fact, the abortuary was preparing for the installation of a large, shiny, blue sign that would proudly proclaim its presence to the local community. But plans went awry around noon, when an ambulance raced to the small, non-descript structure that houses the abortuary, even as [...]
HLI ruled 'political,' while abortuaries given charity status Weird things have been coming out of Ottawa recently. Planned Parenthood, a $462-million-dollar-a-year operation that operates 915 abortuaries under its own name in the U.S., has been ruled a charity by Revenue Canada. In a letter to this writer, sent Nov. 27, 1998 in response to my charge that Planned Parenthood was a business [...]
Imagine the following scenario, if you will: A local hit-man operates out of a store-front made to look like a legitimate business. There's a huge demand for his services; so for the sake of efficiency, and to ensure the bodies won't start piling up on the streets, he has his clients bring their victims to him at his office. The people they [...]
World financial institutions key leverage in de-population of Third World On Oct. 15, the U.S. Congress decided to approve an $18-billion funding package for the International Monetary Fund - one that will, for the first time in three years, be accepted by President Bill Clinton. U.S. monies to the IMF had not been approved of for two years previous to this, since [...]
On Oct. 18, 1859, John Brown's ragtag band of fanatical anti-slavery activists, with the blood of several slavery supporters already on their hands, attacked the U.S. government arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. John Brown was insane in that special way that all fanatics are - he held his cause above the lives of those who got in his way. The abolition of [...]
First conference hears of link between abortion and Holocaust The Institute for Religious Values is an interfaith Virginia think-tank that has recently begun a project to increase pro-life activity among Jewish people. Chris Gersten, president of both the Institute and the Jewish Coalition Against Abortion (JCAA), told The Interim that the JCAA will present a religious perspective on life issues, and will help [...]
The issue of an unborn child's right to life didn't make it to the agenda of the Nov. 26-28 International Human Rights Conference in Edmonton. But that doesn't mean it wasn't discussed among delegates, says conference delegate Pauline Burkinshaw. "The debate is out there, and there are others who share the (pro-life) viewpoint," says Burkinshaw, but the fact that an unborn child [...]

Almost as quickly as a sniper's bullet in the back ended the life of mass abortion perpetrator Barnett Slepian, his apotheosis into a "saint for choice" began by the media. The nonstop coverage of his death - more hagiography than journalism - from early Saturday morning, Oct. 24, to his friends' final farewell four days later, testified to something much bigger than [...]
