Seldom do Canadians discuss the status of preborn life. Parliament has not examined issues associated with abortion or matters related to or touching upon it, in a substantial way, since Brian Mulroney was prime minister. But thanks to the efforts of a Conservative backbench MP, for nine months, Canadians, their political representatives, and the media talked about whether or not the current law that defines a child in the ...

Paul Tuns Editor’s Note: Christmas is a joyous occasion for Christians as they celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. And while not all Christians celebrate Christmas in the same way, the centrality of Jesus in the celebrations of those who take their faith seriously, is a shared feature of the holiday. We talked to four people in the shared offices of Campaign Life Coalition and The Interim to see how they mark Christ’s birth and celebrate the Christmas season.

The proponents of traditional marriage in the United States suffered a major setback as voters backed the legalization of same-sex “marriage” in all four states that held referenda on the subject in the November elections. This brings to 10 the total number of states that have legalized same-sex “marriage” either by referendum, legislation or judicial fiat. Meanwhile, since 1998, voters in 30 other states have entrenched the ... (Continue reading)

Commentary Lena Schuck Those Joneses always showing off their new toys. How can we live a life of humble virtue and quiet selflessness when they come into work after the holidays with the brand new iPhone? How can we feel good about our low-key Christmas when our neighbour was on a cruise in the Caribbean? How can we, who consider ourselves to be pro-family, believe that children are a gift when having more ... (Continue reading)

When Christ left this world, Tiberius sat on the throne of Rome, and Rome sat proud and potent over its many conquered lands. Israel was a far-flung province at the Empire’s ever expanding edge, and the Jews feared Rome, just as Christ’s followers feared the Jews. Nevertheless, with His last words, Christ exhorted His small and fearful handful of followers to “teach all the nations,” (Mt 28:19) and preach without ... (Continue reading)

Analysis Paul Tuns On Nov, 6, and after a nasty campaign that seemed to last forever, President Barack Obama was re-elected, handily defeating his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, albeit by a narrower margin than he vanquished John McCain in 2008. Obama’s victory was puzzling to many on the Right and led to the inevitable soul-searching that follows any electoral defeat. The usual suspects blamed, among other things, social conservatives, and that would seem ... (Continue reading)

Warawa, an MP since 2004, introduced his motion on a topic that has garnered increased media attention over the past year, with the Society of Obstetricians ... (Continue reading)

Paul Tuns Polls show that Justin Trudeau, the 40-year-old second term Papineau MP and son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau (whose 1969 Omnibus bill permitted widespread abortion in Canada), would instantly make the currently third-place Liberals serious contenders to win the 2015 election. Pro-life leaders think that development would be a disaster for Canada.
Justin Trudeau’s rise has been a lifetime in the making including media plaudits for speeches he made while ... (Continue reading)

I’d like to take a break from the usual subjects of this column – movies, TV and books, mostly – to talk about something that might not seem at all related: real estate. I live in a city (Toronto) where real estate – buying and selling, house values, property taxes, neighbourhoods, amenities and development – are talked about far more than cultural activities like plays, films, books, ...

Beware the chattering classes, the self-appointed intellectuals who insist on telling us what to do and how to behave, especially if they are on the left and confidently teach the world about life, sexuality and morality. Consider, for example, George Bernard Shaw, after whom we have named a theatre festival. He lied about what he had seen in Stalin’s Russia and when questioned by a western ... (Continue reading)
