Next spring, Trudeau, the only sitting Member of Parliament ever to admit to smoking a joint (and hence breaking the law), along with his majority Liberal government, plan to legalize recreational marijuana in Canada (medicinal/therapeutic use is already legal here in Her Majesty’s Dominion); the ‘task force’ tasked with the weighty task of coming up[…]
Father Alphonse de Valk, Founding Editor of Catholic Insight, celebrated the 51st anniversary of his ordination quite fittingly on December 11th, the eve of the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. For a retrospective of his colourful and full life, all in the cause of ‘life’, please see our post at this time last year.[…]
Bishop Javier Ecchevaria Rodgriguez, the Prelate of the personal prelature Opus Dei, died yesterday of complications arising from pneumonia. He had been chosen personally by Saint Josemaria Escriva, the founder of Opus Dei, to lead the worldwide lay apostolate, which fosters piety, spirituality in its members. Bishop Rodriguez oversaw Opus Dei from 1994 until his[…]
Following upon my post the other day, on the young woman who drowned her newborn, and was let off with more or less a warning, here is another bizarre story, from the opposite end of the spectrum: An actor, Nick Loeb, of whom I know nothing, is suing his former paramour, Sofia Vergara, of whom[…]
It was sad in this season of joy to read of two recent murders by Muslims. One was of a young medical student, Maria Landenberger, raped and drowned by an Afghan ‘migrant’. She was a volunteer at one of the refugee centres, and was biking home alone. I don’t think this will do much for[…]

There’s a thread running through Christmas that ties into so many other Christological elements, including Christ as Divine Lover,[…]
Today is the solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (see my note to the side), so it as with some dismay that I read this lead article on this glorious morning, a male teacher at an elite private school in British Columbia, fired for uttering four words that may soon become illegal: “I am against abortion”.[…]
As I mentioned in the slightly revised version of my Sam against the Leviathan article, young Sam Oosterhoff, as the balanced but unsympathetic Michael Den Tandt makes clear this morning, is being vilified for his rather moderate traditional views, with one commentator spewing out that an hour in a massage parlour should cure what he[…]
Well, I must eat some of my words about the newly-minted nineteen-year old Member of Provincial Parliament, Sam Oosterhoff, here in Ontario, and I will give credit where credit is due, in short order. First, the background: On November 28th, here in Canada, the provincial government of Ontario voted into law Bill 28, the ominously[…]
Everyone should read this forthright interview with Professor Jordan Peterson. It is fascinating in its clear and quite damning analysis of the modern university, which he claims is ‘quite lost’. I in the main agree, although might nuance things a bit (there are signs of hope at Saint Michael’s college, for example). But, as I[…]
