From the Minister of Religious Affairs

I represent the Ministry of Religious Affairs for SYPH and GH. I am proud to be a Canadian, born and bred in a country that was founded on Christian values and godly principles. Something has happened to those values and principles in the 142 years since Confederation, however. Instead of embracing our Bible-based heritage, Canadians have come to view Christianity as old-fashioned and irrelevant. Prayer has been removed from schools. Christian literature has been banned. As a matter of fact, any reference to God or to Jesus Christ outside Christian organizations (except as profanities, of course) is considered out of line. Yet immigrants from around the world bring their religions to Canada and they are encouraged to practice the customs of their "faith" as they please.

An RCMP officer can now wear a turban if it is a requirement of his religion. Oh give me a break! This makes a mockery of one of our country's oldest traditions and most recognizable uniforms in the world.

Employers are required to allow employees to attend religious ceremonies when the Dalai Lama or Aga Khan are in town - paid time off! But if a Christian were to make a similar request to attend a Christian event, the answer would be a flat NO. I once made mention to my manager that I would be participating in a week-long event at my church - an event that took place in the evenings after my work day was done - and the manager strongly disapproved, commenting that my work had better not suffer as a result.

I could go on, but I think you catch my drift. Canada used to be a Christian nation. I'm not sure what it is now. But there are people who will have to answer for their actions one day - people who have allowed our country to become so concerned about being politically correct that they have no idea of right and wrong anymore.

All I can do is echo the words of our national anthem - "God keep our land glorious and free."

Wilfred Laurier 1907 Speech

--> I think this is is something that needs to be forwarded until every Canadian with a computer receives it. The year is 1907, one hundred and three years ago. -->   Wilfrid Laurier's ideas on Immigrants and being a Canadian in 1907. 'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes a Canadian and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet a Canadian, and nothing but a Canadian.  T here can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is a Canadian, but something else also, isn't a Canadian at all. We have room for but one flag, the Canadian flag. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and t...

Spare the rod, spoil the child...

Spanked Children May Grow Up to Be Happier, More Successful Imagine this: a biblical principle that actually works! Spanking works.  I am walking proof.  While every child has their moments, if a parent uses a spanking the way it should be used, it's effective. Here is my definition of a proper spanking: the child is old enough to recognise that they have done wrong (never spank a kid who doesn't understand what they've done isn't right), never spank in anger (if you're mad, don't even think about disciplining your child, cool down before you deal with it), explain to your child why they are getting the swat (don't just spank if the kid doesn't know why), don't wait too long to spank (kids forget - discipline while the issue is still relevant) above all, let your child know you love them and that they are receiving the discipline because of that, not because you're mad about something they did or didn't do. This is how spanking worked w...

A road not travelled

Disabled Vets Seeking to Sue Federal Government Today I will veer in a new direction.  I don't believe that I have yet to compose a post in which I actually agree with the people complaining about our government.  In this case, I do. This is not the first time where the mention of war veterans has entered the picture.  I'm all for supporting the people who fight for our country as well as the freedom of others.  These men and women often go beyond the call of duty and are true patriots in my book.  To enter a profession where active duty in a war zone is nearly a guarantee you get my stamp of approval. While the government certainly isn't to blame for 98% of the problems Canadians tends to blame it for, in this case, to deduct monetary awards from injured veterans is inappropriate and downright mean.  These are the people who should be most compensated by our government. If money is the issue here, surely there are other areas where costs could be c...
