I’ve been intending to post something regarding the PC(USA)’s recent shameful entanglement with Hizb’allah, and some of the defenses which have been offered, but I’m still mulling that. In the meantime, those who don’t follow politics north of the 49th parallel might be interested in Fr. Raymond J. DeSouza’s commentary on the recent Canadian federal election. During our time in BC, I used to tell people that Prime Minister Jean Chrétien was the world’s only elected dictator, since parliamentary rules essentially turned the Canadian House of Commons into his personal fiefdom. It appears things have changed, which is a profoundly good thing. Here’s hoping, despite Fr. DeSouza’s concerns, that this opens the way for a recovery of strength by Canada’s somewhat beleaguered social conservatives.
Oh, and a side note: in the article, Canadian Supreme Court Justice Ian Binnie is quoted as calling the Charter of Rights and Freedoms “the glue that holds the country together.” Silly man; every true Canadian knows that Tim Hortons is the glue that holds Canada together . . .
Ha ha. Thanks Rob, I needed that. Tim Hortons, only one of many things to pine for from the Land Above…like Death By Chocolate and incredible (and cheap 🙂 Asian food… Many blessings on our Canadian brothers and sisters, who were in pretty desperate need of some good news.
