 * A COVID COLD SHOULDER FOR REFUGEES
   
   
   SUSAN KORAH
   
   
   JULY 8, 2021
   
   Susan Korah reports on the plight of global millions fleeing persecution
   unnoticed while our attention is fixed on the pandemic.
   
   Whether internally displaced in their own countries or seeking refugee status
   from temporary homes elsewhere, these diverse groups of people are clinging
   to the fragile threads of their lives in tents, cramped, airless apartments
   or even in the streets and alleyways of countries such as Lebanon, Syr...

 * A RABBI FOR THE LONG WAY HOME
   
   
   ANDREW P.W. BENNETT AND HANNAH MARAZZI
   
   
   JULY 6, 2021
   
   Father Deacon Andrew Bennett, program director for Religious Freedom at
   Cardus, and Hannah Marazzi, former Cardus staff member, celebrate and mourn
   their dear friend, Rabbi Reuven Bulka.
   
   Yet to see Rabbi Bulka as simply a kind man whose kindness was active in the
   community is to fail to see what that kindness was a manifestation of: the
   divine life He was known to so many as Rabbi Reuven Bulka and his death on
   June 27 has brought forth both mourning and rejoicing in a life that brou...

 * THE COMPLEX WEB OF INDIGENOUS DIVERSITY
   
   
   PETER STOCKLAND
   
   
   JULY 2, 2021
   
   The Assembly of First Nations is a national voice on issues like
   reconciliation and residential schools, but its July 7 leadership vote tests
   the strands that link Indigenous people, Peter Stockland reports.
   
   For example, on an issue as critical to First Nations as passage of
   legislation to make the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of
   Indigenous People (UNDRIP) part of Canadian law, Mbarki was surprised to
   discover how little consultation the AFN conducted with chiefs across the
   country before th...

 * THE DEVIL IN THE LACK OF DETAILS
   
   
   DANIEL DORMAN
   
   
   JUNE 25, 2021
   
   Deliberately ambiguous bills such as Ottawa’s C-10 and C-6 are the political
   deceiver’s plaything, Daniel Dorman argues.
   
   Likewise, the intention of Bill C-6, to ban the harmful practice of
   conversion therapy, was uncontroversial but the Liberal’s failure to
   articulate a clear definition of ‘conversion therapy’ would have opened doors
   for infringement on Canadian’s fundamental freedoms If I were to level a
   single criti...

 * MAID IN THE COVID SHADE
   
   
   PETER STOCKLAND
   
   
   JUNE 24, 2021
   
   Peter Stockland reports on how the pandemic’s overshadowing of legislation
   radically expanding medical assistance in dying might reconfigure Canada’s
   future.
   
   But the thing is, in the pandemic year just past, with Parliament shut down,
   Canadians locked down, and our most vulnerable population ravaged by COVID in
   care homes, we rushed through legislation expanding MAiD availability That
   fundamental conception endured for 133 years until the Supreme Court r...

 * DOWNING A FIGHTER FOR INDIGENOUS KIDS
   
   
   ALAN HUSTAK
   
   
   JUNE 18, 2021
   
   Alan Hustak reports on the removal of a statue honouring the 19th-century
   priest who suffered a nervous breakdown battling Ottawa over its abusive
   residential school system.
   
   The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina has agreed to relocate the statue of
   the 19th century Oblate missionary Father Joseph Hugonard following
   complaints from the Chief of the Federation of Sovereign Indians that it is a
   “distasteful” emblem of the residential school era When the Dominion
   governm...

 * REALITY IN TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION
   
   
   CRISTINO BOUVETTE
   
   
   JUNE 16, 2021
   
   In this homily, Father Cristino Bouvette says the enduring faith of his
   Indigenous grandmother shows the real peace of Christ heals even the torments
   of residential schools.
   
   While interviewing Cardinal Collins last weekend, Rosemary Barton of the CBC
   suggested that the failure of the Catholic Church to turn over unnamed and
   unspecified “documents” that are allegedly missing prevents truth from being
   known and thereby halting efforts at reconciliation Perhaps it could be ...

 * CAUGHT IN THE BILL C-10 SPOTLIGHT
   
   
   PETER MENZIES
   
   
   JUNE 14, 2021
   
   Convivium contributor, journalist, and former CRTC commissioner Peter Menzies
   has been centre stage fighting off the federal Internet control bill.
   Fortunately, he says, fame is fleeting.
   
   All was going swimmingly for Guilbeault and in mid-April, having caught wind
   of his next act – an online harms bill creating a new Guardians of the Public
   Good speech regulator – I wrote what I considered to be a last chance warning
   The next week I co-authored a commentary with former CRTC chair Kon...

 * ENDURING PATIENCE FOR LASTING PEACE
   
   
   SUSAN KORAH
   
   
   JUNE 11, 2021
   
   Despite the intractability of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Susan Korah
   reports, undaunted groups seek just solutions that benefit both sides.
   
   A just and lasting peace between Israel and Palestine seems as illusory as a
   mirage in the desert, particularly since the recent outbreak of violence
   following expulsion of 40 Palestinian families from Sheik Jarrah in East
   Jerusalem to make room for Israeli settlements ...

 * LONDON MURDERS WOUND US ALL
   
   
   ANDREW P.W. BENNETT
   
   
   JUNE 10, 2021
   
   The killing of a Muslim family in the southwestern Ontario city demands
   empathy for the victims, but also renewed commitment to freedom of faith,
   Father Deacon Andrew Bennett writes.
   
   Motivated by their faith, Ismaili Civic has corralled the efforts of its
   volunteers to create partnerships with seventy organizations, including
   Habitat for Humanity, Kids Help Phone, the United Way, and the Terry Fox
   Foundation How much room do we make in our hearts and minds for public
   expressions...

 * COVID’S COST IN LIBERTY LOST
   
   
   JAMES BRYSON
   
   
   JUNE 8, 2021
   
   Theologian James Bryson surveys the historical landscape of Munich and finds
   troubling harbingers vis-a-vis his home province of Nova Scotia’s
   authoritarian response to the pandemic.
   
   To offer a striking example of the kind of culture this new form of
   authoritarian government encourages, consider a piece published in the
   Chronicle Herald, our local paper, last year, written by a student of Citadel
   High School, in which he all but names teachers who, in his view, were in
   violation...

 * QUESTIONS UNASKED ABOUT INDIGENOUS DEATHS
   
   
   PETER STOCKLAND
   
   
   JUNE 4, 2021
   
   Peter Stockland brings a journalist’s mindset and hometown origins to his
   analysis of media coverage around the finding of Indigenous children’s bodies
   in Kamloops, B.C.
   
   In an interview with Montreal’s Le Devoir newspaper yesterday, Mollen-Dupuis
   was sharply critical of media response to last week’s shocking news that
   ground-penetrating radar has revealed the bones of up to 215 of those
   children at the site of the former Indian Residential School near the
   south-cent...

 * CANADA’S COMMON SPIRITUAL HUNGER
   
   
   RAY PENNINGS
   
   
   MAY 31, 2021
   
   After last week’s online National Prayer Breakfast, Cardus Executive Vice
   President Ray Pennings reflected in his weekly Insights newsletter on how to
   pray in public – and pluralistic – spaces. Convivium reprints his text.
   
   What sort of prayer should be offered on such an occasion? Similarly, when
   invited to speak in the context of worship of a faith tradition other than
   your own, how do you address the audience? I’ve spoken both in a synagogue
   and a gurdwara during official Jewish and Sikh services, and felt
   challenge...

 * INTIMATIONS OF CONSTITUTIONAL CRACK UP?
   
   
   PETER STOCKLAND
   
   
   MAY 28, 2021
   
   Peter Stockland reports on the week’s political signs that the past might be
   coming back to haunt Canada’s future much sooner than we dreamed.
   
   That said, incorporation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
   Indigenous Peoples, combined with the specifics provision of Bill C-15
   itself, opens the door to a very different Canada than even the Meech Lake
   Accord envisioned, or that the crisis-stasis-crisis dynamic of the past 30
   yea...

 * YES, WE CAN UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER
   
   
   DANIEL DORMAN
   
   
   MAY 27, 2021
   
   Restoring trust in language goes beyond improving the sad state of our
   political debates. It’s vital to our common humanity, Daniel Dorman writes.
   
   I propose that there are three evident necessary conditions for productive
   (truth-seeking) debate: (1) trust in reason, (2) trust that language is a
   plausible (if often imperfect) vehicle for truth, (3) trust that our
   opponents, by nature of their humanity, are capable of sympathy and reason Is
   it a...
