I wasn't sure whether to write this one or not. Sometimes it's best to simply leave a subject alone, wait for the fog of ignorance to evaporate. But there just has to be comment this time. The issue is that of religion, and the attacks on it in the media since the tragedy of Sept. 11. The thesis is that all religions are the same, they all produce hatred ... (Continue reading)

Goodness me, I've never been a particular fan of many of the foreign and domestic policies of the United States. I've said this, written this, broadcast this. I've taken a few blows for it as well. But there is a time and a place for everything. And at this time and in this place I say just three words. God Bless America.
For leaving half-a-million men on the battlefields of ... (Continue reading)

One of the best people I know turned 65 years old recently and was given an enormous party at his workplace. Not only did friends and family celebrate the event, but also the fact that this man had recently undergone major heart bypass surgery. He was back at work, looking as fit as ever. His name is David Mainse, founder of the 100 Huntley Street television program and president ... (Continue reading)

The Earl of Longford died earlier this month, a fact that in Britain provoked a response from almost every adult citizen. In Canada, he is less - perhaps little - known. Even so, he merited half-page obituaries in some newspapers and several radio and television discussions. I write about him because Lord Longford, or Frank Pakenham, was my godfather.
He was 95 years old and had led a wonderful life. ... (Continue reading)

I hate to say I told you so. But my goodness, I told you so. Not just me, of course. Everyone who believes in family, marriage and unchanging morality. All those people, in fact, who have been routinely chastised by the trendy powers that be and their fellow travellers.
I refer to a report from Statistics Canada that concludes that people who live together before marriage are twice as likely ... (Continue reading)

Another Easter. Remembered by some, ignored by others or exploited as a mere few days break from work. We in the pro-life movement tend to know its real meaning.
First He is interrogated, abused, threatened, both by the imperialist thugs who have raped His country and by the collaborators who have allowed the invaders to have their way. Then a group of soldiers throw Him ... (Continue reading)

Michael Coren, Politics | Author:
Michael Coren There are some issues that rise above the inadequate and increasingly archaic labels of left and right - life and education being two of them. We have looked to various political parties for support and, whilst sometimes receiving encouraging words from some of them when in opposition, have invariably been ignored or even insulted once those organizations achieve power.
When it comes to education, however, President Bush in the United States might just be doing something right. He ... (Continue reading)

Michael Coren Being pro-life is, as I assume we all know, about much more than standing up for the unborn. It is about community, about family, about love. I know love. I know it very well indeed.
Mum telephoned from England last week. I knew, I just knew. "I've got some bad news", she said, crying. "Dad has had a stroke." I was at the hospital within twenty-four hours.
There he was. Confused, unable to speak. My dad, swathed in those ... (Continue reading)

You couldn't make it up. I mean, really, you couldn't make it up. The way various actors, media figures and fellow travellers have rallied around Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, often motivated by support for abortion and homosexuality. Ted Turner was there, of course. And he is typical of the breed.
Remember Ted? In 1990 the founder of CNN and vice-chairman of Time-Warner, said Christianity was "for losers." ... (Continue reading)

All Things Considered Karen Shoffstall is dead. She was young, she was pretty, she had so much to live for. But she is dead. At the age of 30 the New York resident and Guelph, Ontario native was diagnosed as suffering from multiple sclerosis. The illness is a terrible one, but there are numerous people who live with it for many years, enjoying a fine quality of life.
Such seemed to be the case with ... (Continue reading)

I host a nightly television show on Crossroads Television (CTS) entitled Michael Coren Live. My research team books up to 20 guests a week, who are then watched by hundreds of thousands of people. Indeed, we are averaging at 112,000 people a night in Greater Toronto alone! Sometimes there are cancellations, usually because of emergencies or illness.
But only once has someone called to explain they had been told not to come, that they ... (Continue reading)

In the wake of recent domestic violence murders the call to introduce stricter gun control in Canada has been even louder and more strident than usual. I understand the anxiety but I cannot share the logic. Let me say immediately that I hate guns. They terrify me. I have never owned one and I have never really understood why so many Christians are so particularly concerned about ... (Continue reading)

In the last few months in separate incidents several people have been shot and two have died along Toronto's Isabella Street, in the downtown core of Canada's largest city. On September 27, 1995 I wrote a column for another paper describing life on that exact street, where I was forced to live with my family for the month before we moved into our new home. Various special interest groups sought my head ... (Continue reading)

A suburban Toronto school. A young women teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like teacher, most of the hands of the eager young students punch the air like fleshy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with the ... (Continue reading)

The story of my relationship with Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Actually there isn't one. Never met the woman, never spoken to her. But she has read two of my columns out on her radio show and that pleased me no end. I was flattered, because whatever minor criticisms one may have of Dr. Laura, she has courageously stood up for the virtues that do not change. For first things, for permanent things, for ...
