Michael Coren 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)

Michael Coren As I write my first column in 2012, and I’d like to introduce a new term, a new concept into the dialogue, the narrative of the Canadian body politic and public conversation. It’s this. Shut up! Yes, I know I sound a little rude, but there we are. As someone who has laboured in the media trenches for some years now, as a Christian, a pro-lifer, a defender of marriage and of ...

Michael Coren So former Penn State football coach Jerry Sandusky explained in a painfully clumsy interview that he was not sexually aroused by young boys, but does like to shower with them and touch their legs. Oh well, that’s okay then. No wrong-doing there. No sir, you’re a criminal and a pervert sir, and that is the end of story. Good God, who advised the man to do these interviews? Then we had so-called ... (Continue reading)

Michael Coren Another story from the most important community in the history of the world, and one that should teach us a great deal about how truth is manipulated by the consensus media. The story is about – yes, you guessed it – gay people of course. In October, in a small town in Ontario, a lesbian couple were allegedly asked to leave a Tim Hortons because there were complaints by a Christian pastor ... (Continue reading)

Michael Coren A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from someone named Chris Topple. He described himself as being a fairly typical Canadian. He lives in Oshawa, Ont. He said he wanted to tell me about his experience, and that of his four-year-old granddaughter. He wrote that she came home from junior kindergarten in her public school with a book in her backpack given her by her teacher. The book was entitled Mom ... (Continue reading)

Michael Coren Late in August my TV show debuted on Sun News. The Arena with Michael Coren airs at 7pm ET weeknights, repeated at midnight – so that people in the west can see it at a reasonable time. I should give you all a public health warning right now, I suppose: “What you’re about to see each evening is not suitable for people who are easily offended, who think the CBC is ...

It seems a long time ago now, but the day that Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik committed his horrible crime was one that few of us will forget. Nor will we forget the aftermath, and how as soon as it became apparent that the man was not a Muslim and not motivated by Islam – a rare event in recent terrorist attacks – the usual attack dogs in mainstream media ...

Michael Coren A worrying trend has developed in Canada and it threatens the very basis of free speech. Certain people no longer say, “I disagree with you”, but “you shouldn’t be allowed to say that.” It occurs in all areas, but never so often as when homosexuality is discussed.
One example I particularly recall concerned a stylish and elegant book entitled Divorcing Marriage. Published by McGill-Queen’s University Press, it consisted of a series of ... (Continue reading)

Our schools are being drowned in gratuitous and agenda-driven social programs. As I write this column, the Roman Catholic schools in particular are facing a concerted attempt to promote the homosexual lifestyle, all in the guise of anti-bullying. But this is nothing new. More than 10 years ago I faced on my television show an example of political nastiness that I have not seen in more than two decades of journalism. The ... (Continue reading)

Michael Coren C.S. Lewis, Thomas Aquinas, Socrates, Kierkegaard, Bieber. Or something like that. Up until quite recently I haven’t regarded 16-year-old pop sensation, and little girl heartthrob, Justin Bieber as a particularly great moral philosopher and academic ethicist, but I have to admit that I think I got it terribly wrong. Jest aside, the Canadian kid who makes pre-teens weep and scream at a mere toss of his hair has shown himself to be ... (Continue reading)

My new book, Why Catholics Are Right (McClelland & Stewart) has just been published. For those readers who are not Catholic, please know that this is in no way an attack on you. Some of the finest defenders of life I know are, for example, evangelical Protestants, who could also teach me a great deal about being a Christian. What should concern readers of The Interim is that one of the chapters ... (Continue reading)

Eunice and Owen Johns, 62 and 65, have just last month been ruled by the highest British court to be unsuitable as foster parents. They’re renowned as wonderful people, they do extraordinary outreach in their own English midlands black community, they give large amounts of their time and money to charity, and they have successfully and selflessly cared for 15 children in the past. But something vile and sinister apparently hides in ... (Continue reading)

The last few months have been a disgrace for journalism. Especially for Canadian journalism. Especially for liberal Canadian journalism. Unable to tolerate what seems to be losing in the game of democracy and terrified by the possibility of a Conservative majority government, left-leaning pundits decided to blame the participants. Welcome to the hellish world of The Christian Right.
I’ve never seen such flummery and nonsense in all my life. A toxin of ignorance ... (Continue reading)

First he was, then he wasn’t, now he is again. In charge of Sun TV, that is. Kory Teneycke is his name and he’s a bright, fearless and startlingly youthful media expert. He’s also someone I’m proud to say is a friend. Frankly, I’ve never really discussed abortion, euthanasia, population size, sexuality and related issues with Kory, but I suspect he agrees with me on some if not all of these topics. ...

There is nothing right or left-wing about pro-life, but pro-lifers are repeatedly and ridiculously condemned and dismissed as being on the right. Life, however, is more important than political labels. But while we know of the murderous fascists of the 1940s, we need to understand something of those assumed to be the good guys – the socialist thinkers and writers who allegedly wanted only to make the world a better place.
Thinkers such ... (Continue reading)
