Inspired by Truth, Enlightening Minds for the Church in Canada and Throughout the World
An intriguing clip, with Kamala Harris facing an interviewer who at least tries to get her to answer a direct question about the number of illegal and unvetted immigrants. Even Brett Baier’s dogged perseverance does not prevail against Harris’ passive-aggressive logorrhea – apparently, a key tactic in her refusal to answer questions directly. I wouldn’t[…]
(A retrospect on the legalization of cannabis in Canada, now six (!) years ago. The stultifying and enervating effects of this drug may in some small part explain why so many Canadians went so sheepishly along with unilateral imposition of totalitarian protocols a few years ago, which our forefathers would not have tolerated, nor even[…]
I would rather die and come to Jesus Christ than be king over the entire earth. Him I seek who died for us; Him I love who rose again because of us. (Saint Ignatius of Antioch, +108)

(From our archives, for this Thanksgiving Sunday) On this mountain the Lord of Hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food (Is 25:6). Throughout our nation in what we can claim as a truly North American tradition, Canadians are observing Thanksgiving Day. In the observance of what is essentially a harvest festival, we[…]
