Hamilton's "gay community" is up in arms after a multi-agency task force inspected a bathhouse in the city in August - even though the facility was just one of 14 businesses visited by the force that same night. The reverberations are being felt in Toronto, where gays there pledged to get involved and sympathetic media outlets ran coverage.
A team of police, public health, building/licensing, fire and alcohol/gaming personnel visited the businesses, ... (Continue reading)

Judges in three of Canada's most populous provinces have decreed that it is discriminatory to bar same-sex couples from getting "married." It is now legal in British Columbia, Quebec and Ontario for homosexuals to marry. It is significant that the decision was largely reached on the basis of according the same rights to homosexual pairs as are presently enjoyed by heterosexuals. The mantra of the justices has been, "Discrimination must be abolished."
But ... (Continue reading)

A situation in Hamilton has seen dozens of students meeting outside their public high school once a week in bitter cold over the winter because they formed a Christian-oriented discussion group. They continue to do so and have drawn nation-wide media attention as a result.
The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board and Westmount Secondary School kicked the students out of the school last November over their noon-hour meetings. The ... (Continue reading)

All Things Considered
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)
‘I thought feminists were pro-woman, not angry, hurt people
whose logic I can't understand'
By Cathrina Keet
The Interim
A battle over women's rights was fought at the United Nation Headquarters in New York. My concept of justice, democracy, and reality was shattered during the portion of the Beijing+5 PrepCom which I recently attended.
I expected the United Nations to attack violence against women, hunger, war disease, and a lack of education, water, and medicine. Instead I ... (Continue reading)

On March 7 Montréal's Roman Catholic cathedral, Mary Queen of the World, was attacked by a band of feminist pro-abortionists taking part in International Women's Day festivities. They screamed obscenities at worshippers, spray-painted anti-Christian slogans on the high altar, ripped hymn books, turned over flowerpots, stuck tampons and sanitary napkins - some soiled - ...

Delegates to follow-up women's conference fail to agree on
abortion and homosexuality
By Tim Bloedow
The Interim
Last month, from March 3-16, feminists from Western countries took another stab at advancing their pro-abortion and homosexual agenda at the United Nations during the so-called Beijing+5 PrepCom. Once again, however, they were beaten back by aggressive pro-family forces and resisted by developing countries, organized at the UN as the G-77.
The UN is reviewing the compliance of ... (Continue reading)

On November 5, 1999, the United Nations criticized Ontario's funding of Catholic elementary and high schools, claiming it was discriminatory. It gave the government 90 days to address the issue. Ontario Education Minister Janet Ecker said separate schools would continue to get equal funding. She also dismissed the idea of funding all denominations.
Although the UN can do nothing more than voice ... (Continue reading)

New party to keep Reform's pro-family plank,
but ‘consensus' policy on life issues remains
Analysis by Paul Tuns
The Interim
For years the only federal party which could claim the full allegiance of pro-life and pro-family voters has been the Christian Heritage Party. But now a new federal party is being given a serious look by Canadian pro-life and pro-family leaders as it attempts to unite small-"c" conservatives in hopes of defeating the federal Liberals.
From ... (Continue reading)

Sweeping federal benefits bill grants full common-law status to homosexual couples
By Tim Bloedow
The Interim
By the time you are reading this article, the Liberal government's same-sex benefits bill may well have already passed through the House of Commons, if not the Senate, and into law. As of this writing, the federal government appears to be expediting the bill through the House. The Prime Minister is also reported as having ... (Continue reading)

The United Nations Population fund has issued its 1997 State of World Population Report. The slick 76-page document, subtitled “The Right to Choose: Reproductive Rights and Reproductive Health,” lays out a program for action designed to turn Third World women into feminist “wimmin.”
They will be educated, plied with contraceptives, and their unborn children aborted.
The report’s subtitle gives the game away. ‘The Right to Choose’ is to abortion clinics what ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ (Work Makes Freedom) was to Auschwitz. ‘Reproductive rights’ ... (Continue reading)
