Michael Coren Commentary The CBC recently told a government spokesman that it needed more financial support. “We simply cannot continue,” the terrible Tories were told, “unless we have more backing.” How terribly sad. Perhaps it’s time for another extraordinarily expensive advertising blitz, paid for by you to, well, to make you watch them. Perhaps they should resurrect the “Think CBC” campaign of a few years back.
Yes, think CBC. Think ... (Continue reading)

Commentary Michael Coren
In the middle of February, more than 20 men and one woman were arrested in Ontario on charges of manufacturing and selling child pornography. The police revealed that there were more than 200,000 internet addresses in Canada that actively download the most horrendous scenes of child sexual abuse and that the problem appeared to be growing. Giving talk radio ... (Continue reading)

Commentary Michael Coren
True wisdom begins with the fear and love of God. True knowledge, however, requires reading. And if we do not read, we are rejecting the great communication given us by our Creator to appreciate, understand and enjoy. Literature is a force for light and good, too often abandoned to those who dance in very different places.... (Continue reading)

Commentary Michael Coren The Interim
He was arguably the greatest English-language poet of the 20th century and a figure who changed world literature. He was also a dedicated Christian who embraced Anglo-Catholicism and would almost certainly be a member of the Roman Catholic Church if he were alive today. Thomas ... (Continue reading)

Commentary by Michael Coren The Interim
The first time I met Paul Johnson was 25 years ago. He eloquently explained how the war on life and culture was being fought on various levels, one of them being in arts and letters. He argued that it was liberals and atheists at the end of the 19th century who solidified the campaign against faith and family and predicted that ... (Continue reading)

Michael Coren The Interim
When Malcolm Muggeridge died in 1990, it can be said without any fear of hyperbole that one of the most sparkling minds and souls of contemporary Christianity and the pro-life movement had been taken from us. The body died, but the achievements live on, mostly in books such as Jesus, The Man Who Lives, Paul, Envoy Extraordinary, volumes of ... (Continue reading)

Just as one taboo - homosexuality - comes crashing down in the form of court-mandated social acceptance of same-sex "marriages," another taboo is being challenged: pedophilia. Cybercast News Service recently reported that an increasing number of websites propagandize for the social acceptance of pedophilia. It is not, advocates of pedophilia say, an iniquity or an infirmity, but a mere sexual preference crying out for toleration and acceptance.
The Girl Love Garden website, ... (Continue reading)

A new opinion poll claims the vast majority of Canadians now support abortion rights. (Editor's note: see 'Poll on abortion criticized,' page 1, for story.) No surprise really, in that billions of dollars have been spent in promoting abortion in all aspects of our culture. But just a few points.
Pro-choice advocates sometimes argue that men have no right to comment on the issue. Would they, however, ... (Continue reading)

I am fortunate in receiving a very large amount of correspondence from readers. A common question is, "What are the beliefs that lead you to write as you do?" Okay, here it goes.
A street corner on one of those deliciously hot summer evenings. To my left is ... (Continue reading)

How I wish I could shake the hand of every person who wrote to me after the death of my father. The empathy and concern shown by readers of this newspaper was overwhelming. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
But there is more. Within the outpouring of support and grief was a light that broke through the clawing darkness. It was the fact of our common humanity. We ... (Continue reading)

I am not a Roman Catholic. There is also, frankly, much in the Catholic Church with which I disagree. But I joined with the Catholic world in welcoming Pope John Paul II to Canada recently. Not only because he is one of the greatest leaders of our time, but also because he is a pure and cleansing wind in an often stale and smoggy world, a clear voice of ... (Continue reading)

Spanking has whacked its way into the headlines once again. We all know the story. A Christian fundamentalist community in rural Ontario is torn apart when local Children's Aid workers raid homes and take away children. The details of the case are unknown because of a court gag order. But the arguments remain the same.
My personal view is that spanking doesn't achieve very much. ... (Continue reading)

It had to happen of course. An assault on the last taboo. New York author Judith Levine has written a book called Harmful to Minors: The Perils of Protecting Children From Sex. In the volume she writes that children are sexual creatures and that in denying this we are in fact hurting them. Briefly, kids should be having sex.
"What is a child, sex, consent, pleasure?" asks Levine. Pretty simple ... (Continue reading)

So much ink, so many articles, about the freedom of the press and the fact that one particular newspaper group, owned by one particular family, might be attempting to limit this sacred liberty. Newsworthy of course, and extremely worrying. But not at all surprising. We haven't had a genuinely free media in this country for generations.
There are definitely pockets of free expression, and I've ... (Continue reading)

I like Stockwell Day. Yes, I mean it. I really do like Stockwell Day. I'm not saying I would vote for him, because no single party represents me and I'll make up my mind and my vote at a later date. But Day himself I like.
Can't help it. He's a nice guy. He has appeared on my television program three times now, and on ... (Continue reading)
