From the editor's desk
Writing in the Ottawa Sun April 9, Carleton University political science grad Jordan Michael Smith jammed many leaps of logic, cherry-picking of polls and fallacious arguments to make the case that abortion is a settled issue in Canada. Here is an enumerated list of problematic arguments and a rebuttal of them.... (Continue reading)

Paul Tuns From the Editor's desk
Here’s something I never expected in the mainstream press: an article by a young woman on the experience of being a sperm donor child. In the article entitled, “Father was an anonymous sperm donor,” 18-year-old Katrina Clark wrote in the Washington Post about how she felt ripped off that her feminist mother who, when she was 32 and thought she ...

On August 8, I marked an important anniversary – it was five years to the day I was hired as the editor of The Interim. The special day came about a month after another anniversary, my tenth wedding anniversary. Both my wife Christina and I have noted that after ten years it ... (Continue reading)

Recently I was at a food court in downtown Toronto, reading the paper while grabbing some lunch. As the editor of The Interim, I have read and seen much of the moral decadence in our age and it seldom surprises me. But, for all this, I wasn’t prepared for the conversation that took place at the table next to mine.
Three women in their early 30s (I’d guess) and a man, ... (Continue reading)

Delegates support traditional marriage, but ‘wimp-out’ on abortion
In the beginning
The founding convention of the Conservative Party of Canada marked the beginning of a new phase in the pro-life movement’s - specifically Campaign Life Coalition’s - political efforts on behalf of the unborn. It also most definitely ended another era.
In the ... (Continue reading)

On February 28, a month before the due date, my wife Christina was induced. Our family physician and the ob-gyn had determined that at 36 weeks, the child inside her was likely to be fully developed. There is a 96 per cent chance that the child’s lungs are fully developed at 36 weeks and a 98 per cent chance at 37. ... (Continue reading)

On Jan. 20, the National Post reported that the Women’s Secretariat, an agency of the federal government that focuses on women’s issues, has called for scholarly papers on the effects of polygamy on women and children which it says could become a legal reality now that Canada is on the verge of approving same-sex “marriage.” Later that day, Stephen ...

In December, The Interim editorial advisory board, The Interim business board and invited guests gathered for a meeting to examine the paper's future - how to improve our product, increase our revenues and expand our circulation. One participant in this process suggested we move to a Supporters of The Interim type feature in which donors were listed on a page recognizing the friends of life. It was suggested that churches that ... (Continue reading)

The reason that the ALS Society of Canada, and other like-minded organizations, want the government to approve Bill C-13 is so that the Canadian Institutes of Health Research will fund pharmaceutical companies to do such research on human embryos using taxpayers' money. These pharmaceutical companies are eager for taxpayer dollars, too. But the ... (Continue reading)

It sometimes seems that the culture of life enjoys few victories. The news is almost always bad. Dignity is insulted, virtues fade, and the foibles and follies of a world gone wrong can sometimes discourage even the most stout-hearted defender of life. Society is becoming postmodern, post-moral and, most distressingly, ... (Continue reading)

Bill C-250 was passed in the House of Commons 145 to 110 on Sept. 17. This so-called "hate crimes" bill is dangerous, debilitating, and disingenuous; it offends the basic principles of liberal democracy. And yet, our fight against this bill is not over, and our stuggle not in ... (Continue reading)
