By Jonathon Van Maren April 3, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Canadian media outlets have been on a roll with their publication of irrational feminist columns. First, it was the National Post’s Ashley Csanady claiming that Mike Pence’s marital precautions constituted “rape culture.” Now, Anne Kingston of Maclean’s has published a hysterical article titled “Donald Trump’s first ‘End of Women’s History’ month.” Her…
By Jonathon Van Maren Feb. 9, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Last week, I wrote two columns on the escalating clashes in the United States. In the first, I noted that the hysteria that has gripped the Left has reduced their ability to see Donald Trump in political terms, and argued that their insistence on referring to him…
By Jonathon Van maren Those of you who read my columns regularly know that I am not a big fan of Donald Trump’s political modus operandi. Many of you have attempted to explain to me why I am wrong in the comment sections, but despite my delight at the Trump Administration’s consistent action on behalf…
By Jonathon Van Maren As a rule, I don’t write about issues I feel ill-equipped to analyze. For years, one of those issues has been climate change, a hot topic for both progressives — who wish to utilize taxes (and what else?) to solve this problem — and conservatives, who are at the very least…

By Jonathon Van Maren Early last year, I wrote about the Left’s “war on whimsy” and LGBTQ movement’s attempts to colonize childhood, especially by attempting to hijack and then sexualize beloved childhood characters. They have attempted to claim that Tintin is gay. They’ve insisted that Anne of Green Gables must have been a lesbian because of her…
By Jonathon Van Maren Earlier this week, a Catholic blogger tipped me off on Twitter, sending me the link to a PhD thesis published earlier this month titled, “Gay-Straight Alliances and Student Activism in Ontario Public Secular and Catholic High Schools,” written by Alicia A. Lapointe of the University of Western Ontario. Lapointe’s thesis essentially confirms what many parental…
By Jonathon Van Maren April 5, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – On March 21, the famously angry atheist Richard Dawkins tweeted out a report from the Guardian with a reaction that made me do a double take: “Before we rejoice at the death throes of the relatively benign Christian religion, let’s not forget Hilaire Belloc’s menacing rhyme: ‘Always keep…
