Lynn Beyak is not someone who would usually make much of an impression on the public world, with her background in real estate, insurance, and selling cars. But in 2013 the Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed her to the Senate, where she remained fairly anonymous. Until, that is, her appalling comments [...]

It’s the contemporary version of twin solitudes. In Canada and the West the general assumption is that LGBTQ equality is on the advance and that it’s all getting better, often much better. Earlier this summer the prime minister attended Halifax Pride for example, the first sitting leader [...]

Since Andrew Scheer won the leadership of the federal Conservative Party, columns have described him as “Harper Light” or "Harper with a Smile." Yet, to a very large extent the 38-year-old is to the right of Harper, who might have been a committed conservative but was also a [...]

Recently I met a young man who wanted to be a Roman Catholic priest. I was interested in his vocation and asked him if he was applying to the main seminary in Ontario.

There is much controversy over the new Ontario Sex Education curriculum, which we are told has led to 2000 children being removed from the school system out of fears that they will perverted by this ostensibly monstrous manifesto of social engineering. It would be genuinely funny if it weren’t so [...]

It’s an issue that has been understandably drenched in emotionalism and hyperbole for years, but at long last there is some genuine movement. I refer to what is variously called euthanasia, assisted suicide or even compassionate homicide. For a nation as progressive and authentically liberal as Canada [...]

I have a new book out next month (although you can pre-order it now) published by Signal Books, part of Random House. It’s called Epiphany: A Christian’s Change of Heart and Mind over Same-Sex Marriage, and while I’ve written 16 books and am proud of some (but not all) of them, this is the most [...]
