No Mandate

The PM Stephen Harper  Harper does not have an overwhelming mandate. The Conservative Party won a plurality, not a majority, of the seats in parliament. Mr. Harper’s government has not introduced an avalanche of socially conservative measures, but has instead shifted subtly to the right, one policy at a time.

 

"OTTAWA — Liberal Leader Bill Graham on Monday told the House of Commons that the Conservative government’s foreign policy "is dangerously driven by preconceptions, deceptions, self-delusions and arrogance"."

 

I too am very open about the fact, truth that "Canada's PM Stephen Harper maybe an Evangelical but he is certainly not a real Christian. Jesus said you tell what a person is like by his fruits, including loving his enemies, caring for the poor persons.. Caring for the poor persons and Love is certainly something Harper personally knows very little about. "

 

(Mat 5:14 KJV)  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (Mat 7:18 KJV)  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (Mat 7:20 KJV)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Mat 7:21 KJV)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

 

"Tories mull media strategy"  -- Harper and his entourage are still mostly full of hot air signifying nothing..,.  while the spin doctors falsely try to justify his management style , a management style of immoral abusive acts, abuse of others. I rightfully do find it ironic and hypocritically  that Harper complains about Human rights abuse in China when he himself is certainly a poor example of Human rights respect  in Canada. You tell what a person is really like by what he or she does.

 

Dictator Stephen Harper is quite easy to understand if you had been to his Calgary church. Dogmatic Fundamental religious evangelical the environment in which Harper was raised had affected him significantly.. in particularly since one of his churches the perverse Calgary First Christian Missionary alliance church was one of the most abusive, dictatorial church I had personally encountered in 50 years.. where a senior pastor would now try to send a person to a psyche ward for disagreeing with him.. and were men are worshipped as Gods and the women are put into their place as second place too.. the same denomination has a strong Chinese segment as well. Neither he nor his church now are real Christians sadly as well.  I have rightfully  detailed this many time before.. I had attended the Allaince church for 8 years and discovbered how pervrse they realy aare..

"..the Conservatives have yet to pass a single bill all the way through Parliament, and current opinion polls suggest their term in office could be a short one," BECAUSE THEY PLAY DIRTY...

"One of the government's first actions was to release details of a damaging audit of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, and this allowed them to paint aboriginal people generally as unreliable and incapable of managing their own affairs. They used this as an opportunity to validate the decision to scrap the Kelowna Accord and breed racism among the Canadian public, with the net effect of weakening and dividing the aboriginal peoples' lobby."

The majority of the citizens are not stupid they know that this control freaked, abusive, dirty government will play next dirty with them as well and they will not let that happen next..

 

also.."The government accomplished similar goals through a 40% cut to the Status of Women budget, changes in funding rules to prohibit advocacy from women's organizations, and the elimination of the Court Challenges Program. "Basically," the source said, "if you're not white, patriarchal and Christian, you're not going to see yourself reflected in the Conservatives' vision of Canada." "

 

Stephen Harper can dream on but a government that wrongfully discriminates, shows false partiality isn't certainly going to be liked or reelected.. "

 

"When you Canadians last held an election that would determine your Prime Minister, I tried to warn you not to abandon the Liberal Party in favor of the NDP, or another choice that would tip the election to Conservative Stephen Harper. I tried to tell you this because I saw Harper for what he was, and is: a true-believing Evangelical with Fundamentalist-creationist leanings- a war-loving, privatizing, gay marriage-opposing person who, if he had his way, would turn the nature of Canada itself into a reflection of his own creed. But now I've just finished an article in the November, 27, 2006 issue of The Nation magazine. Entitled, "Letter From Canada: The New Christian Right," the piece by Chris Hedges describes how the fundamentalist Harper is forging alliances with fellow fundies on both sides of the U.S.-Canada border to undo Canada's nature as a peace-loving, tolerant nation where the weak and poor are cared for.The article makes a point that he has no mandate to do this. But neither did Bush." Russell Shaw

"  November 27, 2006 issue  Letter From Canada: The New Christian Right Chris Hedges Toronto  When things get bad in the United States it is reassuring to turn to Canada, a country with a high standard of living, a small military and a national healthcare plan. Canada always seemed to be, if a bit duller than America, also a bit saner.  But this is changing. The new Canadian prime minister, Stephen Harper, inspired by the neocons to the south, appears determined to visit the worst excesses of George Bush's presidency on his own country. He plans to pull Canada out of the Kyoto Protocol and expand military spending. He defended Israel's massive bombing of southern Lebanon, even as Israeli warplanes bombed a clearly marked UN observation post, killing a Canadian peacekeeper. He was the first world leader to cut off funding after Hamas took over the Palestinian Authority. The decision was made despite Hamas having taken power after winning democratic elections that not only were recognized as free and fair but fulfilled demands made by the West. Harper has extended the mission for the 2,200 Canadian soldiers fighting in Afghanistan, where forty-two have died so far. He has slashed $1 billion in funding that assists the most vulnerable Canadians, including cuts in adult literacy programs, legal aid to gays and lesbians, and measures to assist unemployed youth, despite a near-record surplus of $13.2 billion for 2005-06. If the Bush Administration launches an attack on Iran there is little doubt that Harper would line up behind Washington. When the Canadian prime minister was asked about Iran before his recent speech to the UN General Assembly, he called Iran "the biggest single threat the planet faces." And he sneers at Canada's long tradition of antimilitarism and generous social services, once calling Canada "a second-tier socialistic country, boasting ever more loudly about its...social services to mask its second-rate status."    But that is not the worst of it. The prime minister, who has begun, in very un-Canadian fashion, to close his speeches with the words "God Bless Canada," is also a born-again Christian. And Harper is rapidly building an alliance with the worst elements of the US Christian right.  Harper, who heads a minority government, is a member of the East Gate Alliance Church, part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a denomination with 400,000 members that believes in the literal word of the Bible, faith-healing and the imminent return of Jesus Christ. Women cannot be ordained in his church, homosexuality is a sin and abortion is murder.  Harper's hold on power, like that of George Bush, is shaky. He too has no clear mandate to transform Canada, but this has not stopped his minority government from steadily undermining social programs and a once enlightened foreign policy that liberal Americans could only envy. The tools he is using are familiar to many Americans, who stood sleepily by as Pat Robertson and other religious bigots hijacked the Republican Party and moved into the legislative and executive branches of government. As I walk the windy streets of Toronto I wonder if those who push past me will wake up and see in Harper's government our own malaise or watch passively as Canada becomes a demented reflection of George Bush's America. " (Chris Hedges, a senior fellow at The Nation Institute, a former foreign correspondent for the New York Times and a graduate of Harvard Divinity School. )

It is still really  surprising that the Evangelicals, and Catholics  have not made so much effort in opposing Christian divorce now as they have opposed  abortions and gays.. to God divorce is adultery, an unacceptable sin.. both the adulterers and the gays were to be stoned under the old testament Israel laws..

 

(Mal 2:16 KJV)  For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

 

" The Lord is testifying against you on behalf of the wife you married when you were young, ( refers to the first wife one married )   to whom you have become unfaithful even though she is your companion and wife by law.    2:15 No one who has even a small portion of the Spirit in him does this.   What did our ancestor    do when seeking a child from God? Be attentive, then, to your own spirit, for one should not be disloyal to the wife he took in his youth.   2:16 “I hate divorce,”   says the Lord God of Israel, “and the one who is guilty of violence,”   says the Lord who rules over all. “Pay attention to your conscience, and do not be unfaithful.” Malachi 2:14- 16  NET

 

"For the Lord, the God of Israel, says that he hates divorce, and him who covers   his garment with violence, says the Lord of hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit, and do not be faithless.” Malachi 2:16  *

 

(Mat 5:32 KJV)  But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

 

As I see it

(2 Pet 2:15 KJV)  Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;

 

(Mat 5:14 KJV)  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (Mat 7:18 KJV)  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. (Mat 7:20 KJV)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. (Mat 7:21 KJV)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (Psa 22:24 KJV)  For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.   (Mat 7:3 KJV)  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  (Mal 3:5 KJV)  And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. (Lev 19:13 KJV)  Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.  (Jer 22:13 KJV)  Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; A real Christian would also practise these verses..

I am very open about the fact, truth that "Canada's PM Stephen Harper maybe an Evangelical but he is certainly not a real Christian. Jesus said you tell what a person is like by his fruits, including loving his enemies, caring for the poor persons.. Caring for the poor persons and Love is certainly something Harper personally knows very little about. "If Prime Minister Stephen Harper has an extra $5 billion in surplus cash to bankroll some new federal initiative, he should use it to help Canada's neediest people, not for a tax break to woo middle-class voters. Or at least he shoul do both.. "

 

"Canadians pay too much tax," the stark reality is that far too many people in this country have been left behind. Some 1.2 million children live in poverty. And that is a national disgrace.Why should yet more federal benefits flow to middle- and upper-income couples when low-income families go without? For the Harper government to deprive the neediest people in Canada of a minimally acceptable standard of living in order to generate a tax break for better-off couples would be regressive social policy tricked out in a flashy wrapping of fair tax policy. Canada's income tax system isn't perfect. No one has come up with one that is. But the tax burden on individuals and families is already spread much more fairly than is our overall distribution of wealth, which leaves many working parents struggling, and their children hungry. "

 

"Part-time Ontario college staff forms provincial association  National Union of Public and General Employees, Canada -  The employees are currently barred by provincial law from joining a union, a situation condemned last week by the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva as a violation of the obligations that Canada has sworn to uphold under international rights and labour conventions.The ILO is a United Nations agency that promotes social justice and internationally-recognized human and labour rights. ILO conventions establish basic labour rights, including freedom of association, the right of workers to organize, the right to bargain collectively, abolition of forced labour and standards dealing with a wide wide range of other work-related issues.Several recent decisions have been issued condemning laws passed by the British Columbia government of Liberal Premier Gordon Campbell, the Quebec government of Liberal Premier Jean Charest and the Newfoundland government of Premier Danny Williams.To date, neither the federal government of Conservative Premier Stephen Harper, nor the Liberal governments of Jean Chretien and Paul Martin preceding it, have done anything to put pressure on the provinces to uphold Canada's international obligations.The result is that Canada has acquired a steadily worsening record of international hypocrisy on labour and human rights issues it is supposed to be enforcing within its national borders. "

If Stephen Harper was an honest, real Christian he would have already dealt with this issue now too.. it is immoral to rob part timers of their rights of seniority and pensions benefits..

"Liberals accuse Conservatives of illegal fundraising practices. The Canadian Press OTTAWA (Nov 22, 2006)  The Liberal party is asking Elections Canada to investigate two new accusations of potentially illegal fundraising practices by the ruling Conservatives. The allegations come as the two parties are locked in a battle over the Tories' vaunted ethics legislation. In one complaint, Liberal national director Steven MacKinnon alleges that a Calgary-based think-tank founded by former Reform party leader Preston Manning is essentially a front for illegally raising money and paying expenses for the Conservative party. The second complaint alleges that the Conservatives accepted an illegal, interest-free bank loan of almost $3.8 million. Corporate donations to political parties were banned in 2004. The charges come as Prime Minister Stephen Harper's centrepiece ethics bill, the Federal Accountability Act, has become mired in a game of legislative ping pong between the House of Commons and the Liberal-dominated Senate."

 

"the Liberals will also urge the government to live up to its campaign pledge to increase transparency by expanding the reach of the Access to Information Act - something that was near and dear to Conservative hearts while in opposition, when Stephen Harper had high praise for the reforms proposed by Information Commissioner John Reid. When it came time to put together their anti-corruption package, the Tories overlooked most of Reid's suggestions - prompting the Commissioner himself to come out strongly against the proposals that were included, which he called "dangerous" and "retrograde." - in the real world everyone needs to be supervised, that includes the private sector and all, public services, and all  professionals such as doctors, lawyers included. Self regulation is an absurdity.

 

Harper and his Conservatives came to power with a promise of accountability, it seems reasonable, but perhaps naive, for Canadians to expect an update from our Conservative government as to how they hold bad professionals, bad civil and public servants, bad RCMP and bad cops accountable...

 

The too often perverse police in Canada claim they are independent only when it comes to someone trying to make them to be held accountable for their past immoral actions but other than that they are too often the lap dog of bad politicians.. a master they try to serve firstly, and not the good welfare of the citizens.  How are the justice Ministers dealing effectively now with the bad cops and bad RCMP in Canada.. not by wrongfully trying to sleep with them? and  that is more false obstruction of real justice.

 

"Tories mull media strategy"  -- Harper and his entourage are still mostly full of hot air signifying nothing..,.  while the spin doctors falsely try to justify his management style , a management style of immoral abusive acts, abuse of others.

Meanwhile B.C. still ranks in the top third of Canadian provinces in all categories of major crime.  The federal and the provincial governments should eliminate the organized criminal drug trade by way of a major expenditure in new police teams, legislation targeting money laundering and proceeds of crime, increased penalties and construction of new jails. Jails are very effective in stopping the public drug trade. B.C.  continuing to have Canada’s most lenient courts, which combines with a relatively benign climate to make B.C. the destination of choice for criminals is really unacceptable. As things stand, B.C. currently has twice the rate of drug crime as any other province

 

Well at least I can agree with the Conservative stand on tougher court sentences for drunk drivers and drug impaired drivers.

 

Politics

With the arrival of The Reform Party, the Alliance Party, the new Conservative party  Preston Manning MP, Stockwell Day MP,  and many others right wing politics has taken a big step forward in Canada. Unfortunately the leaders of these parties tend to promote themselves as evangelical Christians.. they certainly are not real Christians per the Bible, Jesus, Apostle's definitions of a Christian. Had you been personally familiar with the Bible you would have already clearly known why as well.

(1 Tim 6:10 KJV)  For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

I have a favorite summary for the evangelical Christians of Alberta from the devil's belt.. they are "hirelings - prostitutes for hire", for they seem to be always talking about not about helping the sick and poor people but of getting more money for themselves.. you do tell what a persons is like by what they are occupied with, in this case "mammon"  and that includes Preston Manning, Stephen Harper, Ted Byfield, Stockwell Day too.. who clearly are false teachers, false prophets, Christian pretenders.

 

A Conservative who lies, cheat, steals, abuses or is an alcoholic  is the same as a bad Liberal who does the same thing, and both of them are still really unacceptable and should be arrested and jailed.

 

On top of that those too often immoral, lying politicans of alberta, see http://groups.msn.com/CanadaToday4, http://groups.msn.com/CanadaToday4/themyth.msnw who do only make up about 10 percent of Canada's population now want to have ridiculously a majority say in Canada's governments.. dream on.

 

The Myth that Alberta is one of the richest provinces in Canada is a false myth developed to propagate their very still critical needs still for more economic development capital into the Alberta and more support personnel too.. the Alberta government found out the hard way many times you cannot ever hope to run a whole province solely on the generated home property taxes now, or the Income taxes of oil and gas productions.. or even on farming, beef.. for  Alberta generally still has no existing manufacturing industries to even tax in the first place.. Alberta it is rather an major importer still. On top of that actual financial Mismanagements by the past Albertan  Progressive Conservative governments was the main reasons they also had failed to make any signify economic business development in Alberta besides solely increasing the number of vehicle speeding tickets generation, beer, alcohol, gambling outlets which are socially overall non beneficial, productive still too... In reality Alberta today and in the future is an significantly economically backwards, underdeveloped province still.

Well at least I can agree with the Conservative stand on tougher court sentences for drunk drivers and drug impaired drivers.

 

For over two decades I have been openly, publicly , successfully exposing and punishing bad Ministers, Pastors and politicians included, and yes now really punishing them by causing them to lose reelection, or their jobs.. and yes I have often seen their pale faces when they were unexpectedly punished.. They all mostly had priory  rationalized that no one can really see what they do or like and boasted I could not do anything about it.. .. but really one does not have to have a detailed picture.. for dealing with bad Ministers is always the same.. you firstly do look for -

1: evidence that they discriminate, show false partiality, abuse other persons -human rights violations, obstruction of justice

 

2: you look for evidences that they have misappropriated or stolen the designated funds, empire building, pork barreling, and you cut off their donations funding thus  ( do get examples of Conservatives evading their taxes, misusing their donations and do cut off their funding, also expose who is funding them)

 

3: you also do look for sexual immorality and drunkenness, drug usages.. ( surprising that at least 40 percent of church ministers are involved in secret adultery , drunkenness too)

Public exposure and exemplary prosecution of the guilty is still the best approach, and causes them to lose support of their colleagues, supporters and news media...The public may not live it but most do have and respect, expect a decent moral standards, even from the Ministers

 

(Psa 22:24 KJV)  For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.   (Mat 7:3 KJV)  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?  (Mal 3:5 KJV)  And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. (Lev 19:13 KJV)  Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.  (Jer 22:13 KJV)  Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; (Gal 6:1 KJV)  Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.2  Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3  For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4  But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5  For every man shall bear his own burden.

 

A real Christian would also practice all of these verses..  Ted Byfield  included. He would pray for Quebecers and not just mainly condemn them. I was really surprised that Ted  was so ready to judge the spiritual aspects of Quebecers, when in reality I have been sexually propositioned in evangelical churches in Calgary, Alberta.. but never at all  in Quebec. Ted forgot to mention the vast amount of Albertans who indulge not just in divorce, but in wife swapping.. I was shocked to read on the internet the vast number of request for wife swapping from central Alberta, Red Deer included. I was shocked that about 100 percent of the many evangelical pastors I had personally interviewed in Calgary Alberta now never used the Bible in their personal counseling with others.. and boy that is really an unchristian approach. 99 percent of the Christians I met in a decade in Alberta were phoneys, mere lip service Christian where Jesus was not the Lord of their life even

 

Pressing issues

P3s widen Harper's accountability gap - By Paul Moist " OTTAWA, Nov. 23 /CNW Telbec/ - Since his election, Stephen Harper has been plagued by a creeping accountability gap. Dropped balls and broken promises on Senate reform, clean air, women's equality and open and transparent government - to mention but a few - have widened the gap between Conservative pledges and practices. That gap is about to get blown wide open, as Harper's Conservatives drop a privatization bomb on Canadian infrastructure. In November, Transport, Infrastructure and Communities minister Lawrence Cannon launched a new federal push for P3 roads, bridges and other community infrastructure, including a highway linking Windsor and Detroit. Embracing P3s is a dangerous move for Harper in light of Canadian and international experiences that raise significant accountability concerns. A government as focused on efficiency as Harper's should be concerned that P3s cost more than publicly financed projects. It is as simple as the private sector not being able to borrow as cheaply as governments. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has called P3s "fascinating financial arrangements." This fascination doesn't come cheap. PEI's Confederation Bridge, cited as a successful P3, cost $45 million more because it was financed privately. Private financing of Winnipeg's Charleswood Bridge added an extra $1.4 million in present value costs to the project's $11.6 million cost. Multiply that level of added cost by the number of bridges and highways needing repair or waiting to be built and the result is a staggering misuse of tax dollars. Harper and the Conservatives should look to their British counterparts, who are up in arms about the high price of privately-financed hospitals. The hospital scheme, first introduced by the Conservatives, will cost Britons an extra 45 billion pounds sterling over the next three decades. According to the Tories, private contractors will make a 540 per cent return on investment on hospitals worth 8 billion pounds sterling. P3 proponents have tried to shift the goalposts, admitting the schemes cost more but arguing they deliver better service. Again, experiences from Australia, Britain and Canada tell another story - from the number of beds lost in British P3 hospitals to Hamilton, Ontario's failed sewage treatment P3. Beyond their financial pitfalls, P3s run counter to the Harper government's pledge to increase openness, transparency and oversight in government. Far from being open to public scrutiny, P3s are shrouded in secrecy - leaving elected officials and concerned citizens in the dark and out of the loop. The lack of transparency built into P3 procurement makes public scrutiny of these projects -- including an independent value for money comparison and effective oversight - impossible. When elected officials responsible for the final decision on a $2 billion rapid transit line between the Richmond Airport and Vancouver tried to access crucial documents related to the project, including a financial feasibility study and business case analysis, they ran into a P3-imposed wall of secrecy. In Ontario, health groups have waged a long court battle to get basic financial information about a P3 hospital - information that should have been readily available if it was a public project. And Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives as well as the Liberal Party rejected CUPE's proposals to increase the transparency and accountability of contracts, privatization and P3s deals as part of their proposed Federal Accountability Act. The Conservatives certainly aren't alone when they push P3s. They are stepping onto the same shaky ground as provinces like British Columbia, Ontario and Québec. Faced with a growing PR problem about P3s in British Columbia, the Campbell government has adopted a policy forcing BC municipalities, and other public institutions to accept P3s as the price of provincial support for major capital projects. In Québec, the Charest government forced a law through the National Assembly creating a pro-P3 government agency. Here, as elsewhere, P3s are meeting resistance. Provincial plans to build up to 5,000 long term care spaces as P3s have stalled since the board of a Québec City-area long term care facility rejected a P3. The new centre would have cost $14.4 million more as a P3, while delivering lower quality service. In Ontario, the McGuinty Liberals are hiding a broken election promise by rebranding P3s as "Alternative Financing and Procurement". The Liberals also tried to fly under the radar on P3s while in power federally - publicly saying little while quietly attaching P3 strings to infrastructure dollars. Their Conservative successors are taking a much more brazen approach. Those pushing public-private partnerships for Canadian infrastructure acknowledge Canadians are suspicious about P3s - and chalk it up to a communications problem. They underestimate the Canadian public. When Canadians learn the truth about what P3s entail, they reject these schemes that waste tax dollars and diminish democracy.  http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/November2006/23/c8014.html

Like I have said.... 

Like I have said....  With the arrival of The Reform Party, the Alliance Party, the new Conservative party  Preston Manning MP, Stockwell Day MP,  and many others right wing politics has taken a big step forward in Canada. Unfortunately the leaders of these parties tend to promote themselves as evangelical Christians.. they certainly are not real Christians per the Bible, Jesus, Apostle's definitions of a Christian. Had you been personally familiar with the Bible you would have already clearly known why as well. But they are capitalists for sure.. and why did Jesus and the Apostles themselves care about the poor people and these people do not?
