  • Torture as Foreign Policy: the Omar Khadr DecisionGail Davidson LLB
    February 18, 2010

    The decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in the Omar Khadr[1] case, which implies that remedies to prevent torture and punish perpetrators are a privilege to be granted or withheld at the pleasure of the Prime Minister, is wrong.

  • Torture at GuantánamoReuel S. Amdur
    October 15, 2011

    Doctors, psychologists, and other mental health professionals either turned a blind eye to evidence of torture at Guantánamo or actively assisted. That is what Doctors Vincent Iacopino and Stephen Xenakis found in a review of records for nine prisoners. Their findings are published in PLoS Medicine.

  • Torture in the 21st CenturyCraig Murray
    August 29, 2012

    On Monday 30 July at 11am on Radio 4 there will be a BBC radio programme entitled "Torture in the 21st Century", presented by John Sweeney. I was interviewed extensively for it, though I don't know how much of my interview will feature. I shall be in Ghana then and iPlayer does not work abroad, so if anybody has the technical ability to make a sound file and send it to me, I should be grateful.

  • Tory Immigration Snake OilReuel S. Amdur
    December 2, 2012

    It was some years ago when Bill Davis was Premier of Ontario that I attended a program put on by Toronto Muslims to acquaint people, thought to be of authority or influence, with the Muslim community and its wants and needs. I was invited because I was the Unitarian in a group representative of the various religions working on a broadly based book of prayers and readings for the Toronto Board of Education, a book to replace the sole reliance on the Lord's Prayer in opening exercises in the schools.

  • Tough conversations build better neighbours The Canadian Charger
    March 11, 2015

    Most neighbours, even good ones, aren't usually willing to take on raw-nerve issues that could potentially generate misunderstanding, bewilderment or fear. Just try mentioning "terrorism," "radicalization," or "jihadist" as topics for a friendly discussion.

  • Touring the New Suez Canal made me proudProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry

    I made a point to tour the construction site of the New Suez Canal during my recent visit to my birth country. I am glad I did.

  • Towards hate-free speechProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
    May 27, 2010

    We Canadian Muslims support the promotion of democratic values for the public good; hence, we support free speech. This should go without saying but more often than not I find myself saying this over and over.

  • Transgender TreatmentReuel S. Amdur
    May 23, 2019

    In Canada, one of 200 people is a redhead. The same proportion applies for people who are of physically indeterminate gender and, according to Dr. Leah Layman-Pleet, of people who are transgender. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) gives an incidence far lower, less than .2% for persons born as male and less than .1% for females. It has been the common practice for physicians who deliver a baby of indeterminate sex, with mixed genital expression, to operate to transform the baby into a male or female, according to what appears to be the predominate characteristics. Now, many physicians avoid performing such surgery and allow the person to grow up with these anomalies intact.

  • Trudeau Senate ReformThe Canadian Charger
    February 18, 2014

    After years and years of talk about reforming the Senate to make it more relevant to the needs and desires of Canadians, Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is the first to actually do something. In an effort to stop the Senate from being a group of political party hacks and sycophants - pigs at the trough, as Mr. Harper's political mentor Preston Manning used to characterize them promoting the Prime Minister's political agenda, Mr. Trudeau has dismissed all Liberal Senators from the party caucus and called upon Prime Minister Harper to do the same. Notwithstanding the whining from Mr. Harper and his ilk, Preston Manning supported Mr. Trudeau's move by saying, "It's a step in the right direction."
