Josie Leutke: Interim writer, Josie Luetke, Talk Turkey The end of January brought a disorienting amount of good news for the pro-life and pro-family movement. The expansion of euthanasia to those suffering solely from mental illness would be pushed back until at least 2027. Clinic 554, the private abortion facility in Fredericton, New Brunswick, finally closed its doors. Alberta’s Premier [...]
The exchange always sounds quite reasonable. In so many different spheres of modern life, we are called upon to make concessions and sacrifices for the sake of larger conflicts, to give things up for the “greater good.” The environmentalism of previous generations, for example, introduced us to the concept of recycling. Now, for the sake of the climate, we are asked not [...]
Paul Tuns: In 2021, the Liberal Party campaign platform included rescinding charitable tax status for all pro-life organizations, including pregnancy care centres that serve pregnant women, on the pretense that they truck in misinformation. Nearly five years later, the Trudeau government has yet to act on their threat. The Liberal Party platform vowed that a Trudeau government would “no longer provide charity [...]
Paul Tuns: A special interest group that condemns activities and statements it says promotes hate, issued a retraction after falsely claiming that Campaign Life Coalition was behind a recent poll showings the majority of Albertans support parental consent for minors to obtain an abortion. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network, a special interest group that supports abortion-on-demand and the LGBQT ideology, which the corporate [...]
Paul Tuns: A poll by National Public Research Canada (NPRC) found that more than six in ten Albertans expressed support for either “parental consent and/or notification for minors seeking abortions.” The “Where Albertans stand on parental consent” survey, elicited 6,047 responses on Feb. 1, through Interactive Voice Response. The sample size is large for a provincial poll. NPRC is linked to Calgary-based [...]
Oswald Clark: The journal Nature Medicine published a study on Feb. 15 that supposedly shows that telemedicine medical (chemical) abortions pose little health risks to women, but pro-lifers point to flaws in the study that undermine its claim of being safe and effective. The study, “Effectiveness and safety of telehealth medication abortion in the USA,” by Ushma D. Upadhyay, Leah R. Koenig, [...]
Paul Tuns: A Fredericton abortuary is closing after years of pressing for full funding at the private facility. It ended without convincing either Liberal or Progressive Conservative governments to pay for abortions done at the province’s only free-standing abortion mill. Campaign Life Coalition declared it “great news” that Clinic 554 was finally closing its doors for good after repeatedly threatening to shut [...]
Donald DeMarco: In a 1964 football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the San Francisco 49ers, Jim Marshall picked a fumble and ran 66 yards in the wrong direction. When he crossed his own goal line, he threw the ball into the seats in celebration for what he thought was a Viking touchdown. The gaffe has stigmatized Marshall ever since. As a [...]

Paul Tuns: Last month, Blacklock’s Reporter revealed that both the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada (EFC) and Canadian Centre for Christian Charities expressed concerns to the House of Commons human resources committee that the Department of Employment and Social Development continues to discriminate against faith-based employers applying to the summer job grants program. In 2016, the Trudeau government mandated that employers sign an [...]
Paul Tuns: Following pressure to not change its medical standards that would severely restrict the conscience rights of doctors, the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) backed down from a proposal to require doctors to make an “effective referral.” Currently, doctors and nurses are not required to participate in or be complicit in abortion, euthanasia, birth control, or so-called gender-affirming [...]
Oswald Clark: In December, the U.S. Supreme Court announced it will review the Food and Drug Administration’s 2000 approval of the abortion drug mifepristone and subsequent liberalization of regulations by the Biden administration. In 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under pressure from the Clinton administration and abortion advocates, allowed the two-pill abortion drug regimen (mifepristone and misoprostol) then known as [...]
Paul Tuns: Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis endorsed a petition calling on Canada to leave the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO) because the organizations undermine national sovereignty and the personal autonomy of its citizens.
