In June 2009, as the Catholic church began its celebration of the “Year of the Priest,” Monsignor Vincent Foy celebrated a truly remarkable milestone: his 70th anniversary of ordination to the priesthood. We offer our sincere congratulations and express our profound gratitude to him on this happy occasion, for no priest has worked as hard, as long or as well to defend the culture of life in Canada from the rampant intellectual errors of the 20th century.
For 25 years, until ... (Continue reading)

The murder of the notorious abortionist, George Tiller, has been justly condemned in all quarters and we at The Interim add our voice to that chorus. Although every violent death is a tragedy, the murder of an abortionist is especially painful to us, because there is no greater setback for our movement than violence that falsely claims to advance the pro-life cause. Such violence not only takes us further from our ultimate goal of living in a peaceful society in ... (Continue reading)

All too often, fathers of unborn children have no say in deciding whether their own child lives or dies. But how often is this terrible situation reversed? That is, how often is it that the unwilling father who, through active encouragement or deliberate neglect, forces a “liberated” woman to abort the very child he has sired? Feminists offer no help to mothers, pregnant with the unwanted children of casual sexual encounters. Betrayed by the rhetoric of freedom, these women are ... (Continue reading)

The women’s movement of the last century helped eliminate legal inequality between the two sexes. This significant accomplishment is largely forgotten, precisely because a new generation of feminists downplays its importance. Indeed, the remarkable achievement of legal equality has made the modern-day women’s movement a crusade without a cause. Lacking the legal hurdles which their mothers overcame, feminists now tilt at windmills; no longer breaking glass ceilings, today’s feminists are merely throwing stones.
Like all movements that should have disbanded after ... (Continue reading)

The Genocide Awareness Project, which draws parallels between abortion, slavery and the Holocaust, is what the pundits call "divisive." Using images of aborted children, lynched slaves and murdered Jews, the powerful visual displays of the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) attempt to show the similarity between abortion and these other dark chapters of human history. However, critics of GAP - of which there are many - observe that abortion does not fit any accepted definition of genocide and claim that their ... (Continue reading)

Editorial Sadly, the effects of the HRCs' pernicious thinking were displayed by the University of Calgary last month when, without even a fig-leaf of justification, authorities attempted to halt a display by the campus's pro-life group.
The Genocide Awareness Project, which has held similar displays on the U of C's campus for the last five years, was threatened and intimidated by campus thugs, while they heroically witnessed, not only to the humanity of the unborn child, but also to the university's mission ... (Continue reading)

Editorials, Human Rights Commissions | Author:
Editorial In a time of unprecedented political upheaval, it seems that there is only one thing about which all Canadians can agree: that Section 13 of the Human Rights Act should be repealed. In a stunning display of intellectual honesty, voices from all across the ideological spectrum have emerged to denounce the outrageous behaviour of Canada's self-appointed censors. The human rights commissions' campaign against free speech can no longer be hidden under a veil of polite-sounding rhetoric; Canadians have spoken and ... (Continue reading)

As we went to press, there was some unexpected good news. Richard Moon's report on theCanada Human Rights Commission recommended repealing section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act which has been used to curtail the freedoms of speech, the press and religion, under the guise of punishing and preventing hate. (See page 6 news briefs.) This is a great first step, but if recent years have proven ... (Continue reading)

In the last year, both Canada and United States held federal elections. Neither country elected a pro-life leader. During his campaign, Stephen Harper proved he was more progressive than conservative and Barack Obama has pledged to sign the abominable Freedom of Choice Act into law as soon as he can. But, while these elections do not offer much hope for the protection of the unborn, they do not constitute a major setback in ... (Continue reading)
