Pro-life and pro-family advocates who have long felt they’ve been getting a raw deal from the mainstream news media received ample support for their views from most of a panel of journalists at the recent Ernscliffe College Media Seminar in Toronto. Panelists including McLaughlin Group debater Fred Barnes, Canadian Press general manager James Poling and Canadian Society of Magazine Editors president Alex [...]
Interim Staff Pro-Life organizations give qualified support to a call by Reform leader Preston Manning that the Canadian Constitution be amended to protect the unborn children from abortion. Speaking in British Columbia in late October, Manning said he favors a law allowing a national referendum on abortion, euthanasia and other moral issues. He added, however, that he was expressing his own views [...]
I read in the paper recently about a balaclava-wearing hold-up man waiting patiently in line at the bank in order to stick it up. An alert bank clerk noticed this guy in the lineup and dialed 911, and the cops came and took him away. The would- be hold- up man explained to the police that he didn’t want to stand in [...]
Is a split developing in the Liberal party? Some might be asking that question after significant numbers of Liberal MPs departed from the party line in recent Parliamentary votes over the GST, adding sexual orientation to the Human Rights Act and a change in the Constitution to allow Newfoundland to reduce the power of churches in its schools. John Nunziata was kicked [...]
Tony Gosgnach Advocates of honest government and opponents of the GST weren’t the only people expressing disappointment after Sheila Copps was re-elected as a Member of Parliament. Pro-life and pro-family leaders are also lamenting Copps’ victory in a recent by-election. Copps won the Hamilton East contest June 17 with 50 per cent of the vote, down from 67 per cent in the [...]
Tony Gosgnach The Interim Global conspiracy theories received an added boost recently when a meeting of the secretive Bilderberger group was held in King City, Ontario. The attendance list of 120 at the June 1-2 meeting read like a who’s who of current and former powerbrokers and shakers in world affairs—Henry Kissinger was there, as were US defense secretary William Perry, use [...]
Charles Moore First, bravo to Tom Wappel, Roseanne Skoke, Dan McTeague, Dennis Mills, and several other MPs on the government side who have braved derision and scorn from their caucus colleagues, risked party discipline, and put their political careers on the line to oppose enshrining the gay-rights agenda in law. Boo to the ideological conspiracy hell-bent on ramming not only tolerance, but [...]
U.S. President Bill Clinton’s veto of a ban on partial-birth abortions unleashed a storm of protest from church and pro-life groups. In some of the strongest language directed against the president, critics ranging from the Vatican to the Republican Party described Clinton’s April 10 veto as a brutal attack on human life and as an attempt to win favor with radical pro-abortion [...]
Patrick Buchanan’s has been sealed in the race for the Republican Party candidacy. It is a good time for pro-life people to stop and consider just what his experience means for the pro-life movement. The height of Buchanan hysteria occurred the night that he won the New Hampshire primary. In the first big test among presidential contenders, Buchanan emerged as the leader. [...]
Since securing the Republican Party nomination, Bob Dale has been thanking Ralph Reed and his Christian Coalition for their support. Critics say Reed’s support of Dole shows he is more interested in the power of the White House than he is in his Christian revolution. Supporters counter that having the President’s ear is tantamount to completing the revolution. His biography may hold [...]
Bill Gates was on the phone. I knew it was Bill because he always calls me collect. (How do you think the president of Microsoft got to be worth 18 billion?) Bill sounded frantic. “Frank, is that you? What are you doing up there?” (‘Up there’ always meant Canada to Bill). “What do you mean? What am I doing?” “I just read [...]

With opinion polls way down and the unions out for his head, will Premier Harris hold firm on his budget cuts and does he have a moral responsibility to do so? Pro-family supporters are of mixed emotions following the Ontario government’s $6.3 billion cost-cutting measures announced in November. While some worry over the effect of the budget cuts on the most vulnerable [...]
Ontario Attorney General Charles Harnick failed to tip his hand about the province’s plans for a lingering injunction and court case against 18 pro-lifers. Speaking Febraury 13 to the North York Retired Men’s Club, Harnick said it would be inappropriate to comment on a case still before the courts. He said rulings made since the injunction and court case were launched will [...]
The emergence of Pat Buchanan in this year’s U.S. Republican Party Leadership race has a special significance for pro-lifers. By the sheer force of his views, Buchanan has brought the abortion issue front and centre. Described as a rogue Republican, Buchanan is considered by some a serious threat to party unity. His success in the early primaries has befuddled many political observers, [...]
