Michael Coren Journalist for Life I am a hated man. If you read the comments section at the bottom of my columns and broadcasts, look at what is said on Twitter and Facebook, or could see some of the letters and e-mails written to me personally, you would appreciate the depth and width and anger and malice of the threats, abuse, insults, and lies. I am attacked for being ... (Continue reading)
Kathleen Wynne - openly gay Premier of Ontario In case nobody has noticed, Ontario has a new premier. The most significant province in Canada found itself with a new leader, and more than 99 per cent of Ontarians hadn’t voted for her; they couldn’t because they weren’t given a chance. Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty resigned, and a couple thousand Liberal hacks and zealots got together to party and to elect someone ... (Continue reading)
Journalist for Life It happens on a horribly regular basis. A child is abducted and killed, and often assaulted first. The media transforms the story into headline news, the community activates, the police do all that they can, but the tragedy still occurs and cuts like a razor into the flesh of our being. Such events will occur again and again because there will always be evil people in the world ... (Continue reading)
Journalist for Life Michael Coren There is so much discussion about the attempt to take Christ out of Christmas. The expunging of the word and the spirit is regrettable of course. I wonder, however, if we’re missing the point. One doesn’t have to be a Christian to be a supporter of life, but it’s impossible to doubt that most in the pro-life community are indeed Christian, and – important this – ... (Continue reading)
Michael Coren Journalist for Life An episode of All in the Dysfunctional Family, as it were. Let me tell you a story. A woman journalist whom I know, a gay woman, has been living with her partner for some time now. Some years ago they wanted a child, a baby. So the brother of one of the women had sexual intercourse with his sister’s lover, resulting in her getting pregnant, and ... (Continue reading)
There is so much discussion about the attempt to take Christ out of Christmas. The expunging of the word and the spirit is regrettable of course. I wonder, however, if we’re missing the point. One doesn’t have to be a Christian to be a supporter of life, but it’s impossible to doubt that most in the pro-life community are indeed Christian, and – important this – that the most vociferous and angry critics of the sanctity of life ...

Journalist for Life Michael Coren 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)
Jack Layton Oh Good Lord, I suppose it just had to be. Yes, the time of waiting has come to an end, and like a child embracing the dawn on Christmas Day I feel my heart bursting with a fulfilled anticipation. Because, joy oh joy, as I write this column the filming on the Jack Layton biopic is almost complete. It stars Rick Roberts and Sook-Yin Lee as Layton and his wife ... (Continue reading)
I suppose I’m old-fashioned. I thought teachers were supposed to teach, to make sure young people could read and write, do math, know some history and geography, perhaps some economics, and certainly some science. I don’t think media studies is a real subject, and sociology should only be a graduate level course. But this is nothing compared to what is going on today in many school boards, where legions of toxins ... (Continue reading)
This June I interviewed Jessie Sansone on my Sun News TV show – the name of the man may not resister with most readers, but how about The Crayon Dad? This is the 26-year-old man who, earlier this year in Kitchener, Ont., was handcuffed, arrested, and strip-searched by the police, and whose three children were removed by the Children’s Aid Society, all because his four-year-old daughter had drawn a picture at school ...

You knew it would happen, I knew it would happen, we all knew it would happen. In a sordid and cynical attempt to deflect from various scandals and mismanagement, the Liberal government of Ontario has told the Roman Catholic school system that it has to do what it’s told, not be Catholic, and embrace the lie that gay kids are perennial victims of bullying. Be warned in the rest of Canada ... (Continue reading)
Oct. 9 is a very ordinary date for some, but a very special one for me. It’s the birthday of two people I love very much indeed: my late mother and my son Oliver. Ten years ago, shortly before mum died, they managed to spend Oct. 9 together. One with so much to look forward to, with all of the world’s possibilities at his fingertips, the other with so much to look ... (Continue reading)
I’ve argued many times that the pro-life position is not essentially Christian, but an argument based on indisputable scientific truths and universal logic. The reason Christians are so enraged by the slaughter of the innocents, and so active in the campaign to end it, is that Christianity is God-given, that God created us, and thus as Christians we are especially and particularly attuned to the suffering of the most vulnerable. It’s ... (Continue reading)
White guilt is a terrible thing to waste. Something that became profoundly clear during the trial of Mohammad Shafia, his wife Tooba Yahya, and their son Hamed earlier this year. Although the case was shocking, it was in fact only the most recent of a dozen murders in the last 12 years, most involving Muslim patriarchs killing young girls who wanted to be horribly western by wearing nice clothes, doing nice things. ...

There has been a great deal of discussion in Ontario recently about a radical and intrusive sex education curriculum being proposed by the province’s Liberal government. The entire campaign to indoctrinate young people into a gratuitous and obscene version of sexuality has been enormously damaging not only for children, but for parents as well. But what is sometimes forgotten in all this, is how so many of these redundant and damaging proposals ... (Continue reading)
