Emails reveal hurdles for patients seeking assisted deaths at faith-based facilities

Since when has it been considered mandatory that every hospital provides every medical procedure that a patient demands? This is really little more than an attempt by the promoters of M.A.I.D. to force faith-based institutions to provide procedures that conflict with the values upon which they have been founded and operated.

How the Canada Summer Jobs program became a freedom-of-religion controversy

There’s an article published on the National Post website that supplies a ‘play-by-play’ analysis of how we have come to the situation which led to my recent foray into the public forum. I bring to your attention the paragraph posted below this commentary. It should explain why I decided we had nothing to lose by my speaking out. When I read  ‘(N)o such organization will receive funding from any constituencies represented by Liberal MPs.’ , there really was no other option. Who knew that we would be punished for voting in a member of the government’s party in the last election?
