Rory Leishman: Then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau promised that the 1982 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms would enhance the constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms of Canadians. Instead, the opposite is true: Canadians today are demonstrably less free than they were 40 years ago. As evidence, consider the unprecedented, freedom-stifling provisions of Bill C-4, the notorious legislation adopted in December by Parliament with [...]
AndrewLawton: Call them the honks heard ‘round the world. The convoy that rolled across Canada in January before making downtown Ottawa the freest spot in the country sent a message about much more than vaccine mandates. In a country whose pandemic restrictions have been defined by complacency and acceptance rather than resistance, the convoy was the moment at which Canadians decided they’d [...]
Donald DeMarco Commentary: Dialogue is a beautiful word, replete with the promise of two opposing sides getting together in peace and harmony. Socrates was a great champion of dialogue. His perpetual frustration, however, was that his opponents were securely entrenched in a monologue – talking to themselves. This has been my problem in trying to engage abortion supporters in a dialogue. One [...]
Oswald Clark: The process to amend the Vermont state constitution is lengthy and arduous. The state house and state senate must pass bills approving a constitutional amendment in back-to-back sessions and then the state voters must approve it in a referendum. In 2019, both houses of the state legislature passed the Right to Personal Reproductive Autonomy which would recognize abortion as a [...]
Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey Pulling straight from Wikipedia: “Body positivity is a social movement focused on the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities, while challenging present-day beauty standards as an undesirable social construct.” It’s dominated by social liberals, which, given the above buzz words, may be unsurprising, but, [...]

By Mark Wegierski: The Canadian federal election of September 20, 2021, was another failure for the Conservative Party of Canada, despite Conservative leader Erin O’Toole’s attempted “move to the centre.” After five months the Conservative Party put an end to the infighting among pro- and anti-O’Toole factions, with the caucus voting him out as leader. While the political leader is important, the [...]

Rick McGinnis: Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements The ‘90s don’t get a lot of love. The last decade of the 20th century is often seen as a kind of pregnant pause – a political and social interregnum between an event that put an (apparently) full stop on the conflict that had shaped much of the previous century (the Cold War) [...]
Whatever Happened to Tradition: History, Belonging, and the Future of the West by Tim Stanley (Bloomsbury Continuum, $38, 266 pages) Tradition and especially traditionalism has a bad reputation. It is often conflated with the old-fashioned and nostalgia, which barely begin to scratch the surface of the richness of tradition. Tim Stanley, an editorial writer for the Daily Telegraph in London comes to [...]
Paul Tuns: A CareNet study released in January showed that men play a significant role in the abortions women get. Based on a survey of 1000 American men whose partners had an abortion, the CareNet study found three-quarters of men talked to their spouse or girlfriend about the abortion prior to the woman making her decision to have an abortion. There were [...]
