March 19, (Lifesitenews.com)  The creator of Hustler magazine, Larry Flynt, has developed yet another pornographic magazine. This one is aimed at children with the magazine cover purposefully looking like a harmless magazine for young people in order to deceive parents. According to an expose by WorldNetDaily, “the cover of the January issue of Big Brother Skateboarding magazine depicts an 8-year-old boy flying through the air on his skateboard. The words “Big Brother” are printed at the top in colorful children’s wooden building-block letters. At the bottom of the cover are the words “Kids Issue” written in blue, red and yellow—the […]

Pro-family advocates fear a child czar in Canada would rapidly increase the move to undermine the rights of parents regarding the upbringing and education of their children. Reform MP Eric Lowther commented on the proposal saying, This is dreadful, these people see themselves […]

Justice Minister Jon Havelock explained that the agreement, “allows same-sex couples to register their relationship which creates certain financial and other obligations between them and that would be enforceable.” However, the task force also said that, if necessary, the not-withstanding clause would be used against allowing practicing homosexual unions to use the term “marriage.” The policy statement also forbade school curricula to promote homosexuality and assured […]

CAPE BRETON, NS, Mar 18 (Lifesitenews.com) – Sociologist Katherine Covell and political scientist R. Brian Howe of the University College of Cape Breton are pushing the idea of requiring parents to have a license to have children. In this week’s Alberta Report, an article by the pair in a fall edition of Policy Options magazine is exposed.

TORONTO, Mar 18 (Lifesitenews.com)  Will Offley, a “pro-choice” researcher featured on BCC radio as an authority on violence in the Canadian pro-life movement, has again been linked to violent pro-abortion extremists. In an email Offley sent to his supporters today, Offley quoted yesterday’s LifeSite News piece on the Anti-Racist Action (ARE) group. Offal was supportive of the group,  and failed to condemn its violence. Pro-lifers across Canada have condemned outright all abortion violence including any violence against abortionists and their accomplices. However, Offley, who has taken great pains to attempt to draw a connection between the Canadian pro-life movement and […]

TORONTO, Mar 18 (Lifesitenews.com) – In an article that sounded more like a diatribe from Henry Morgentaler than a news piece, Toronto Sun columnist Michele Mandel attacked Human Life International in anticipation of the upcoming HLI conference in Toronto. Worried about the conference’s exposure of truth, pro-abortion forces have been working feverishly to forestall any damage to their movement by mud-slinging pro-lifers rather than talking about the issues. Entitled, “Bigots should just stay home,” the article regurgitated the same distorted information found in the extremist Anti-Racist Action propaganda pamphlet reported on by LifeSite yesterday. Despite the fact that Jewish Rabbis […]
