As far as prolife goes, Canada has a long way to catch up with the incremental advances made by enterprising American Christians. And thank you for the good example.
As for heading toward a dictatorship: how so?
The only bid for dictatorship that I see is happening in both Canada and the US – and that is the bid by big media. But we have the blogosphere, don’t we? And those of my fellow citizens who attempt to coerce me using the CBC or the Toronto Star meet with a sound but subtle scolding from me concerning internet illiteracy.
I think it is wise to remember that Canada and the US are essentially friends – certainly in comparison to other countries in the world. We are each other’s largest trading partners. And we bailed you out of an iminent economic crash after Katrina by providing you with emergency oil.
So let us try not to get carried away with emotional responses to disappointments. Pro-life is a long large war. Let us not get demoralized by small battles along the way. As Christians and as community leaders we do not have the luxury of demoralization.
In December there will be a hotly contested Liberal leadership convention which will then lead into a federal election in March. Currently Stephen Harpher’s Conservative Party is in government. I recommend that you follow closely both the leadership convention and the election – and then comment. OK?
