On Dec. 13, Bill C-484, Ken Epp’s (Conservative, Edmonton-Sherwood Park) private member’s bill protecting the unborn victims of crime, came up for the first hour of debate. Epp reiterated the need to protect pregnant women from criminal violence and discussed the tragic sense of loss felt by family members of crime victims who also lose unborn grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Epp said, [...]
Following his rather convincing defeat in the recent provincial election, John Tory is, nevertheless, trying to hold on to his position as leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative party. That party would do well to look for another Tory to lead it. In our November editorial, we chided John Tory for running a campaign devoid of the only leadership that matters: moral [...]

During the last Ontario election, each found a unique way to address abortion and the rights of the unborn. John Pacheco John Pacheco is well-known to [...]
The Saskatchewan NDP went down to a crushing defeat in the recent provincial election after 18 years in office. Goodbye, NDPers – you won’t be missed. Take your lousy Marxist human rights kangaroo courts with you. We should be celebrating all over Canada. The Wicked Witch of the West has been soundly defeated! No longer should people have to apologize for saying [...]
United Nations University and the Institute of Advanced Studies, a Tokyo-based UN think tank, have released a paper that examined the ethical dilemma of cloning. The main purpose of “Is Human Reproductive Cloning Inevitable: Future Options for UN Governance” is to trace the evolution of international legislation related to cloning and to highlight five future options of governance.

The Family Coalition Party garnered less than one in 100 votes cast in the Oct. 10 Ontario election, leading some people, including pro-lifers, to ask: is the party still relevant? Admittedly, the juxtaposition of this fact and this question is unfair, although getting just 0.8 per cent of the vote is a reflection of larger problems. These problems lead to serious questions [...]
Everyone who follows these things knows that the leaders of the three major parties hold socially liberal views on abortion and homosexual rights and that the Liberals, Progressive Conservatives and New Democratic Party are either officially pro-abortion/pro-homosexual rights or extremely tolerant of abortion and special rights for homosexuals. In interviews with Xtra, a Toronto homosexualist newspaper, PC leader John Tory and NDP [...]
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 [...]
The principle of separation of powers has been one of the fundamental aspects of federal governance in the Western world ever since democratic nations emerged. Undoubtedly a reaction to the absolute authority wielded by tyrants, oligarchs, plutocrats and the like in times prior, as well as an attempt to protect democracy from being threatened by such authority’s return, this principle – first [...]
Feeling abandoned by Ontario’s four largest political parties, many voters concerned about life and family issues often believe they have no political voice. This is not the case. The Family Coalition Party (FCP) has arisen as a party that stands for three fundamental rights: “the right to life, the right to freedom and the right to own property.” Come the Oct. 10 [...]

Representing various faith backgrounds, proponents of traditional family values from across Ontario are praying for the Family Coalition Party. The movement began as a suggestion by an Alberta right-to-life activist who operates under the screen-name "Theresa" on FreeDominion.ca's Northern Ontario caucus. Participants pledge a specific time in their schedules to ask God's blessing and protection over the province's only pro-life party. "Campaigns [...]
Pro-abortion party leaders will thwart pro-life nominations HOW IT WORKS For the next several months, voters in Ontario will be subjected to a government-financed propaganda campaign in favour of a mixed-member system of proportional representation. Pro-life voters should be wary of this ill-considered initiative of Ontario’s Liberal government. In a bid for votes during the last Ontario election in 2003, Liberal leader [...]
Yes: a real chance to elect MPP Proposed new system of election renews hope HOW IT WORKS For more than 30 years, our efforts within right-to-life organizations have been directed towards passing a federal law recognizing the rights of the unborn.
