Careful observers of developments in the field are noticing challenges to this assumption on a number of fronts. One of the greatest threats appears to be from homosexualist radicals who take issue with anyone who characterizes [...]
Type the words "+gay +youth +help" into an Internet search engine, and you'll be given a list of 200 choices to explore. The vast majority link to gay-positive youth sites which affirm those who are gay or who think they're gay. Some link to explicit pornographic sites. Until recently, none offered any alternatives to simply accepting that one was gay. In 1998, [...]
READERS PLEASE NOTE:Readers will find parts of the following article upsetting. Parents are advised to use discretion in allowing young people to read it.

Killings, displacements, and slave trading show history is repeating itself Ever since the 1994 Rwandan massacre of 800,000 Tutsis, critics of the United Nations have had added reasons to be skeptical about the competence and sincerity of the international body's humanitarian work in Africa. Sudan is another African nation that continues to suffer due to the irresponsibility and ignorance of UN workers [...]
At the beginning of this century, Canada was mainly an agricultural society, safely cradled in the arms of the mother country, Britain. A call to arms to protect Britain's interests in the Boer War in South Africa (1899 - 1902) and the Great War (1914-1918) led to shiploads of Canadian troops gallantly crossing the ocean to her defense. (The province of Québec, [...]

A University of Manitoba anthropologist is suffering resentment on campus after the recent release of a self-produced pamphlet condemning homosexual behaviour. Dr. Hymie Rubenstein's pamphlet, "What Gay/Lesbian Activists Won't Tell You or Your Children: Homosexual Myths and Realities," was distributed in late April at a public school trustee debate in Winnipeg regarding the benefits of sexuality and "homophobia" awareness programs. Rubenstein distributed [...]

A coalition of New Brunswick Christians wants the human rights legislation used to force Fredericton mayor Brad Woodside to declare a "gay pride weekend" amended or repealed. Led by the Rev. Karl Csaszar, pastor of Fredericton's Skyline Acres Baptist Church, the group met on March 17 with Joan Kingston, the government minister responsible for New Brunswick's Human Rights Act, to request that [...]
Anarchists, Communists, feminists, and gay activists litter Toronto with hate propaganda The war of words started well before Human Life International arrived in Toronto for its 18th World Conference on Love, Life and the Family April 7-11. As for previous HLI conferences in other years in Ottawa and Montreal, an assortment of leftist- and liberal-oriented groups launched an array of verbal and [...]

Under Dalton McGuinty, the Ontario Liberal Party has moved firmly to the left on almost every social issue, to the point that it is now almost indistinguishable from the provincial NDP on life and family issues. The most noticeable swing to the left took place in last fall's announcement in Kingston that McGuinty would change provincial law so that same-sex couples would [...]
Radio therapist Dr. Laura would say they're "shacked up;" your grandparents might say they're "living in sin." Now, social science backs up what was until recently the common moral belief: living together before marriage is bad news. David Popenoe, a Rutgers university sociologist and Barbara Defoe Whitehead, author of the book Divorce Culture, as co-authors of the report "Should We Live Together? What [...]
The recent decision of the B.C. Supreme Court which found that, despite a risk of harm, there was a "right" under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to possess child pornography, reveals a flawed approach to "freedom of expression" and the concept of "privacy." What is striking about the decision is that the notion of the person it shows is dangerously individualistic [...]
