Is abortion genocide?

  The Genocide Awareness Project, which draws parallels between abortion, slavery and the Holocaust, is what the pundits call "divisive." Using images of aborted children, lynched slaves and murdered Jews, the powerful visual displays of the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) attempt to show the similarity between abortion and these other dark chapters of human history. However, critics of GAP - of which [...]

HPV vaccine and the truth

After the Huron-Superior District Catholic School Board rejected administering the anti-HPV vaccine Gardasil in its schools to pre-teen girls, Algoma Public Health attacked the board for what it implied were outright sexist views. The arguments were anti-Catholic and silly, so stale and predictable that APH should have been embarrassed to make them. Noting that females get the human papilloma virus from males [...]

Ignoring abortion-breast cancer link betrays women

The Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons ran a study, re-published in the the British insurance journal The Actuary, on the abortion-breast cancer link. It examined statistics for women in eight European countries and avoided the supposed weakness of other studies that have found a connection between abortion and breast cancer; namely, “recall bias.” Patrick Carroll, director of research at the Pension and [...]

The Wise Men’s star

To the modern reader, the visit of the Wise Men can only be one more improbable detail in an already impossible story. And yet, every Christmas, no matter how secularized the season has become, the tableau of a caravan, crossing a desert and following a star, survives. What is it about these Wise Men, these kings, that still appeals to an un-Christian [...]

Ignoring real issues

A  sure sign that a Liberal victory in the recent Ontario election was never in serious doubt was the fact that the abortion issue was ignored during the campaign. In Canada, whenever a left-of-centre party is in trouble, the social issues that cannot be brought up because they are “settled” suddenly become the only issues. The “social peace” surrounding abortion-on-demand can be [...]

MMP is not a litmus test

The Interim has been criticized by some for its editorial position against proportional representation. This comes as no surprise, considering the criticism that Campaign Life Coalition has received for years over its (similar) stance on the issue. People of goodwill can disagree on this issue; how we choose our politicians is a matter of tactics, not morality, and as such, a civil debate [...]

Educational choice: Tory’s approach is wrong

This paper supports the right of parents to educate their own children as they see fit. Whether it is choosing the best government-funded school for their children within the public or separate school system, sending them to independent religious schools or educating their children themselves at home, such decisions are best made by parents. We also understand that whatever constitutional guarantees there [...]
