“People have often asked, and we’ve asked ourselves—how could Nazi Germany participate in the Holocaust? How can you take entire segments of your society, Jews as well as Gypsies as well as dissenting pastors, and round them up, and exterminate them in the millions?” Brock Thoene says, “Germany was widely regarded as the most advanced, the most civilized, most cultured nation in Europe of that era. It seems almost imponderable. How can you reconcile those things?”

As a renowned author of historical fiction, Brock Thoene has spent his entire career searching for the answers to these questions—and presenting the public with answers in the form of historical fiction.

Anti-Abortion Face-Off with Stephen Harper

Postcards with Aborted Fetus Images Alongside Harper Images Go to Constituents

Calgary, AB. Starting today, a group of anti-abortion activists will circulate postcards with images of Prime Minister Stephen Harper next to bloody, graphic pictures of late-term aborted children to homes in Harper’s constituency.  Harper is the first of five politicians the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) says it will make “Face the Children”—the name of its new project.  The group plans to distribute 250,000 postcards in the five ridings by summer’s end.

Around this time last year, there were three interesting rumours going around about me: One was that I was dying, the other was that I was engaged, and the third was that I was a consecrated single.  All three are false (although I suppose the first is true if you consider that every day we get older we’re closer to death).

There is, however, one rumour about me that isn’t going around, so I’d like to put it into circulation: I’m a mother-to-be.  This is one rumour that is actually true.

For as long as I can remember, when I met people who would ask, “How many siblings do you have?” my answer was always “one.”  But I recently had an epiphany: That answer isn’t true.
