Recently, election results showed in Quebec and France interesting signs of a reaction against political correctness. The Action démocratique du Québec victory April 15 in the Saguenay by-election and Jean-Marie Le Pen's surprising victory in the first round of the French presidential elections April 21 showed that people are tired of political correctness, political vacuity and old political parties which constitute an [...]
A sure-fire way to put insecure persons on the defensive these days is to suggest that they're not "open-minded" enough about sex. Most people have been conditioned by liberal-humanist indoctrination to be utterly phobic about any sort of "repression," especially sexual repression. In a 180-degree reversal of the Christianity-informed sexuality ethic that served Western culture admirably for 2,000 years, it is now [...]
Recently Bill Whatcott, the controversial Regina-based Christian crusader for morality and ethics, added another human rights complaint to his portfolio. Over a month ago, Whatcott found an ad in Saskatchewan's leading gay magazine that he felt fell under the law of protection for children against pedophilia. The ad read: "I'm 28, 160 lbs, searching for boys/men for penpals, friendship, exchanging video, pics, [...]
June is here, and that means it's time for the annual festival of bacchanalia and depravity known as "gay pride." In just one case, thousands of homosexuals from across North America will descend on Canada's largest city for Pride Toronto, consisting of several days of activities centred on the pleasures of the flesh - more specifically, with same sex partners. The occasion [...]
Judith Levine, author and journalist, recently wrote a new and controversial book, Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Kids From Sex. Levine brought her book to several publishing companies before the University of Minnesota Press decided to take it on, which should not be surprising. The U of M Press saw the book as iffy at first, so it assigned an [...]
On April 19, a highly regarded member of the P.E.I. legislative assembly unwittingly violated the political correctness norms, and unexpectedly found himself depicted across the country as a racist bigot. Well-known pro-lifer Wilbur MacDonald, former member of Parliament, former speaker and longest serving member of the provincial House, was addressing a resolution on child pornography. Speaking without notes, he said that some [...]
A Canadian Press story inadvertently proved a recent Leger Marketing poll about media practices correct. The story, which appeared in the May 6 Toronto Star, began, "Canada may have the reputation of being somewhat bland, but a new poll suggests many Canadians think their media are sensationalist and biased." How ironic is it that a news report about a poll on the [...]
Chretien's caucus remarks illustrate little respect for religion Back in the 1870s, future Liberal prime minister Wilfred Laurier traveled through Quebec explaining that French-Canadian liberalism was not the anti-Catholic and anti-clerical liberalism of Europe, but the tolerant variety found in Britain. Once, in 1877, he claimed, "there is not a single Canadian Liberal who wants to prevent the clergy from taking part [...]
Should trade unions be allowed to interfere in the personal, social, moral, political and religious lives of their members, considering membership and union dues are compulsory? Any free society should say no. Today in Canada, trade unions are allowed to impose their values on their forced membership. Unions receive their certification for collective bargaining and this has progressed into collective coercion. Trade [...]
Would you like to see "Timothy and the Terrorist" in your local public library? Written by John Robin Sharpe, the story deals with young white boys who are sold as sex slaves to an evil sultan, and includes graphic details of man-boy and boy-boy sex acts, beatings, and even a circumcision. Described by Sharpe himself in a letter as "sadomasochisticfaggotkiddie porn," such [...]
Pro-family advocates and traditional Catholics are worried that a student who is pushing the issue of bringing his same-sex partner to a school prom is being used by the homosexual lobby to advance their cause and weaken the distinctiveness of Catholic education in Ontario. Before Marc Hall set out to buy two tickets for the prom at Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary [...]
REAL Women of Canada President Gwen Landolt believes Canadians ought to remember the words of former U.S. president Thomas Jefferson, who wrote that: "To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Unbeknownst to most Canadians, the federally funded Law Commission of Canada released a report titled Beyond [...]
Imagine a college where Catholic young people can live out their faith by learning from faculty and staff who practise what they preach. Picture a small, personable school where prayer is at the heart of study, and fellow students call one another to a life of holiness and virtue. There is such a school, right here in Canada: Our Lady Seat of [...]
Thanks for publishing Raymond Parker's letter in your January edition, in which he describes his search for a political party which represents his values. Christians all across Canada are crossing denominational barriers, cultural, economic, and even the obstacle of pride to join together as a united moral witness. The biggest hindrance to the work of promoting Biblical principles by a single federal [...]
Poll exposes what Canadians think of moral issues Is Wynona Ryder, the actress recently charged with shoplifting, more of a moral reprobate than abortionist Henry Morgentaler? A new survey by the Montreal firm Leger Marketing would indicate that most Canadians seem to think so. A greater number of Canadians think shoplifting (89.3 per cent), infidelity (80.8 per cent), hardcore drug use (79.2 [...]
