Critics say the cookie-cutter program is unnecessary By Paul Tuns At the beginning of pandemic lockdowns in Canada schools and daycares closed, and children were at home with parents who all-of-a-sudden found themselves working out of their own houses. Feminists, unions, and Liberal and NDP politicians noted that working women could not as easily balance family and work responsibilities as their male [...]
Paul Tuns Commentary There is a cynical saying in politics about never letting a serious crisis go to waste. The idea is simple enough: to use an unusual situation as a pretense to implement an agenda that might otherwise prove unpopular. The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns imposed by governments have presented an opportunity to some to ensure we do not return [...]
Canada—like the rest of the world—is in the grip of a dangerous epidemic. This sickness is transferred from person to person, and often travels on the spoken word. Yet, unlike COVID-19, its reach is more pervasive and its effects more pernicious. This plague can propagate through modern modes of mass communication, a spiritual contagion which combines a “viral” ability to spread with [...]
From the editor's desk I’ve often said that when it comes to euthanasia, in our current legal and political climate, “safeguards” is just another name for discrimination. If the state tries to protect minors or people suffering from mental illness or non-terminally ill individuals by outlawing a lethal procedure that might be imposed upon a highly impressionable person or to [...]

By Interim Staff By a 131-117 vote, with six abstentions, Argentina's lower house passed a pro-abortion bill after 20 hours of contentious debate. The bill now goes to the senate. President Alberto Fernandez's left-wing Frente de Todos (Everybody's Front) has only a minority in the Chamber of Deputies, but has a majority in the Senate so the bill, which liberalizes the country's [...]

By Interim Staff The Doug Ford government said it will amend Bill 213, Better for People, Smarter for Business Act, which amends 29 laws. It passed first reading in early October, but the Progressive Conservative government agreed to add wording that would have required individuals who officiate weddings to abide a provincial Code of Practice,” after independent MPP Belinda Karahalios (Cambridge) sent [...]
By Paul Tuns In late October, the news media was in a frenzy that the Catholic Church had apparently changed its doctrine on same-sex sexual relationships after the producer of a new documentary on Pope Francis released clips of his forthcoming film. Evgeny Afineevsky, screenwriter for Francisco, a documentary about Pope Francis, in a segment from his documentary suggested that the Pope [...]
By Interim Staff On Oct. 22, the Polish Constitutional Tribunal declared a law that permitted abortion for preborn children diagnosed with “fetal defect or incurable illness” to be unconstitutional. Nearly all abortions committed in the predominantly Catholic eastern European country are carried out for such reasons (1074 or 1100 legal abortions in 2019). The tribunal’s president, Julia Przylebska, wrote in the decision that [...]
By Paul Tuns Last November, Toronto Catholic District School Board trustee Michael Del Grande offered a reductio ad absurdum motion to amend the board’s code of conduct to include sexual proclivities such as bestiality and vampirism, in response to the province’s pressure to add sexual orientation, gender identity, and family status to the list of protected classes in the board’s code of [...]
By Paul Tuns London-based abortion giant Marie Stopes International changed its name last month to MSI Reproductive Choice in an attempt to distance itself from the eugenic views of its namesake. The organization now goes by MSI Reproductive Choices. Stopes campaigned for the legalization of birth control in England in the early 1900s and, like many progressives of her era, supported eugenics, [...]
