Concerned Women for America reported recently on trends toward “supplier diversity initiatives,” which corporations are using to encourage “diversity” among their supplier bases. Suppliers are being pressured to report breakdowns of their staffs along lines including those of “sexual orientation.” This is seen as another tactic homosexual activists are using to force acceptance and approval of their behaviour ...

Do the media as a rule give pro-life and pro-life stories a pass? Having been at Queen’s Park as a part-time member of the press gallery for over 15 years, I would definitely say yes.
The Interim recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and I wouldn’t have a job and The Interim wouldn’t even ... (Continue reading)

Last year, we commemorated the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade by the British parliament. Anglican leaders in Britain have marched around the country offering their apologies and even Prime Minister Tony Blair has said sorry, as if he was somehow personally responsible. Hardly a day went by without another confused and confusing European or North American ... (Continue reading)

Lorne Gunter, a senior columnist with the Edmonton Journal, is one of Canada’s most prominent and distinguished journalists.

Paul Tuns Editor In recent months, the media have finally begun covering the goings-on of human rights commissions, thanks to separate complaints by different Muslims against Ezra Levant (the former publisher of The Western Standard), Maclean’s magazine and now the Halifax Chronicle-Herald newspaper. It took a complaint against one of their own tribe for journalists to finally wake up to the danger that this country’s federal ... (Continue reading)

Frank, what are you planning to do?”
“I’m going to Ottawa on Stéphane Dion’s bus tomorrow morning.”

Every time the issue of removing or qualifying public funding of the arts is discussed in Canada, the liberal classes throw up a smoke-screen of confusion. It is the imposition of values, they argue, and a form of censorship that will stifle creativity. Let’s be bold and honest here. Most contemporary writers and especially artists and television directors are about ... (Continue reading)

Mr. Justice Michel Bastarache, who retires from the Supreme Court of Canada on June 30, was an excellent judge when he stuck to upholding the law. But alas, he did not always do so. Like most of his colleagues on the court over the past 25 years, he repeatedly encroached upon the legislative powers of Parliament and the ... (Continue reading)

If we could see into the heart of most Canadians, I believe we would see a little goddess called “see-no-evil” perched prominently on their souls. I think the same goddess is carried by multitudes of Christians into services every Sunday.
It has been observed that if you keep telling people the same ... (Continue reading)

In 2003, U.S. President George W. Bush announced his administration would allocate an unprecedented $15 billion to PEPFAR, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean.

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)
