Victor Penney: Interim writer Victor Penney, Sporting Life One of the strongest pro-life messages during this U.S. Presidential election hasn’t come from everyone’s “favourite” Republican candidate. In fact, it hasn’t even come from a politician. It’s from someone who made a good living by getting grown men to knock over tackling dummies. So, who is it? It’s none other than [...]
RickMcGinnis: Interim writer, Rick McGinnis, Amusements By the time this column comes out America will be on the eve of a presidential election that has been alternately incredible and improbable, and might transform that country’s politics irrevocably no matter who wins. In hindsight this vertiginous moment is the result of events that began over a quarter century ago, though I [...]
Paul Tuns: Ahead of the New Brunswick general election officially called on Sept. 17, Campaign Life Coalition distributed thousands of postcards with information about transgender indoctrination in schools.

Candidates tackle abortion at debate On Sept. 10, Vice President Kamala Harris (D) and former president Donald Trump (R) took part in a debate moderated by ABC News in which the two sparred over abortion in the second question posed by the hosts.

Almost immediately upon becoming the Democratic candidate for president, Kamala Harris started attacking her Republican opponents, Donald Trump and JD Vance, as weird. To emphasize the difference between the Democratic ticket’s ostensible normalness and the Republicans’ alleged weirdness, she picked the mostly non-descript Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a former high school football coach. No sooner had Harris delivered the broadside that “weird” [...]
Every four years, the cyclical rituals of American democracy impose the ordeal of an “election year” not only upon its own populace, but on the entire globe. At such times, stances on a range of geopolitical issues hang in the balance—positions which, in turn, promise to set the general tenor of international diplomacy and public discourse for years to come. The 2024 [...]

Paul Tuns: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith appeared on the podcast of Shaun Newman in which she called for Alberta’s population to grow to 10 million inhabitants through immigration, leading Prolife Alberta to take issue with the government’s silence over the death of 12,000 preborn babies annually. In her interview with Newman, Smith said she wanted to more than double Alberta’s population from [...]
As our story on the U.S. election (p. 8) makes clear, both the Republican and Democratic parties under their respective leaderships of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are moving in a more pro-abortion direction.

Three provinces representing nearly one-fifth of the [...]
Josie Luetke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey Houston, you have a problem. This past May, one of your own, “strongly pro-life” Texas senators Ted Cruz (R) co-sponsored a bill to protect access to IVF. Actually, Houston, we have a lot of problems, because Cruz is far from the only big “pro-life” name to come out in support of in [...]
Leire Douros: London City Council defeated a proposed bylaw that would have restricted the size and proximity of signs to roads by pro-life groups that use abortion victim photography (graphic images of aborted babies).

Oswald Clark: Photo credit: Post Millennial After the June debate between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump, it became obvious that the incumbent was unable to mount a vigorous campaign for re-election and about a month later he was convinced that it would be better for the Democrats if he would step down as the party’s presidential candidate.
