How I.C.E. and its Ontario allies let Catholics down

Catholic Insight, September 2010 (republished with premission )


In mid April 2010 Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty hurriedly backed down on a new Sex Education program supposed to start in September this year. The Ministry of Education had posted it in January but it went unnoticed until April when there was an outcry against it. What surprised the Ministry most, apparently, was the vocal opposition of some Catholic educational leaders and the Archbishops of Toronto and Ottawa. The Ministry had thought the Catholics were “on board.” The question, therefore, is: where did Ontario education officials get the idea that Catholics would accept their “Equity and Inclusivity” strategy, which is so obviously “gay” partisan?


There is no doubt that the Ministry consulted with Catholic education officials. In an interview with Life Site News a Ministry spokeswoman, Patricia MacNeil, “emphasized...

QUEBEC, August 16, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Amidst the congratulations and best wishes imparted this week to Cardinal Marc Ouellet as he heads to his new post in Rome, the head of the Quebec Bishops’ Assembly has publicly criticized certain aspects of the Cardinal’s efforts to restore faith and morality in the once vibrantly-Catholic province.


In an interview with the Canadian Press on Friday, only days before the Cardinal’s farewell Mass, Bishop Martin Veillette of Trois-Rivières called Ouellet “an emotional person, who reacts quickly enough and who sometimes gets carried away by emotions, feelings, affection.”


…


Bishop Veillette noted that Ouellet is a teacher, and as such “his desire was to emphasize certain points of view that he considers important.”


“The bishops here have also taught, but in the way to do it, at ...

HAITI, August 18, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development & Peace (D&P) is using funds collected for Haiti’s post-earthquake emergency relief effort to give an extra boost to at least one of their pro-abortion partners in the country.


The information surfaced in a report by the Catholic Register’s Michael Swan at the end of July, and was highlighted by John Pacheco at his SoCon or Bust blog.


D&P programs officer Debra Bucher told Swan that D&P is using their current partnerships in Haiti to take a long-term approach in rebuilding the country.  “Our specialty is not emergency relief where we go and buy 20,000 tents and feed 500,000 people for three months,” she ...

Nothing much has changed. Now the useful idiots are the MSM and the Leftish parties all clamoring to change the world to one huge islamic madness. This is quite a documentary from the BBC Radio. Worth listening to. It is in 2 parts:



In 1952 Doris Lessing, a British writer who has since won the Nobel Prize for Literature, was part of a delegation visiting the Soviet Union. Her memories of the trip are clear and unforgiving:

The Liberals are accusing the Conservative government of making something out of nothing to rationalize the purchase of stealth fighter jets. It seems like our F-18's are constantly scrambling to keep Russian planes from entering our airspace. Last Tuesday two cold war era bombers were shadowed near the Beaufort Sea.

But wait a minute. Is Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff on the sides of the Ruskies or something? Maybe: He has so many passports one might be from there.

What is with Stephen Harper? The whole RCMP brass is for the long gun registry and so are other police forces around the country as they believe that it substantially reduces gun related crimes and murders. Does Stephen Harper know something that these law enforcement officials don’t? Some of these law enforcement officials have decades of practical experience. What expertise Harper and his minions have?

Government Borrowing

by Murray N. Rothbard

The following is excerpted in its entirety from Appendix A to Chapter 12 of Rothbard's Man, Economy, and State: A Treatise on Economic Principles with Power and Market: Government and the Economy [2nd ed., 1993; 2nd ed., 1977], 2nd rev. ed. (Auburn, Ala.: Ludwig von Mises Institute, 2009), pp. 1025-28. It has been slightly edited in terms of content (simply, to remove an irrelevant reference to other parts of the book), and has been edited from its original formatting.


The major source of government revenue is taxation. Ano...

When Dmitri Soudas brought the media's notice to the incident that occurred in the arctic yesterday between two Russian bombers and two CF-18s, the intention was obvious. The Russian military often performs exercises in the Arctic near our airspace, about 12-17 times a year. Today's news was nothing of consequence.

Except for the fact that it was motivated by a desire to shock Canadians into plumping for the purchase of 65 F-35s to replace the CF-18s. This is flagrantly obvious, as such events are not normally brought to the public's attention. But with the government announcement of the purchase of the F-35s, they need some sort of justification for this $9billion and up purchase.

Does the government really believe that it can make most Canadians believe we are in danger from the Russians because they are performing routine exercises? They should be ashamed of trying to deceive the public this way.

PS: on a side note, the TU-95 Russian bombers (nickna...

Outside the Oval Office he looks around to make sure that no one is looking and then he rushes in and says his Muslim Prayer. Caught by a special camera.:)

Where would these Tea Partiers/Tea Baggers will stop. First it was a controversy about Rev.Jeremiah Wright of the United Church who was Obama’s spiritual guide for 20years because Rev. Wright is alleged to have said “…not God Bless America. God damn America” therefore he was un-American. So for 20 years Obama was Christian but guided by a “bad” pastor. Then he was not born in US, this notion was led by crazy woman Orly Taitz, and now he is a Muslim. These morons are not only causing problems through fear mongering but they are insulting 1.7 billion Muslims as according to them being Muslim is intrinsically bad. More recently the outrage about the proposed Islam...

Liberal MPs Wayne Easter and Alexandra Mendes reported that since Harper's government has been in power, 20% of federal appointments had been given to Conservative supporters, constituting in their opinion a blatant case of patronage. Tory supporters thought they had the perfect mathematical defense.

Looking at the comments on news stories, you see a lot of Tories saying: "If he only appointed Tories to 20% of the jobs, then that means 80% went to Liberals, NDPers, Blocs and Greens. Why are the Liberals complaining?"

But that is not the case. When they said supporters, the Liberal MPs meant Conservative party insiders, people who had worked for the party or had given large donations to it. People that actually were Conservative party members. They did not mean anyone who voted Conservative in the last election.

Not every Canadian is a member of a political party, or is a donor to one. Far from it. To think therefore that the appointments can be divide...

There's a curious intellectual disconnect, or an apparent disconnect, in the Federal positions on the census, the gun registry and the crime agenda.



The positions on the census and gun registry seem to follow a libertarian approach. Less government is better and we must focus on core functions -- keep government out of people's lives. This is a valid intellectual position -- one with legitimate conservative roots -- and while I don't agree with it I respect it.



The crime agenda, by contrast, focussed on the government managing people's lives so as to ensure they behave properly -- hence the proposed increases in penalty for running a bawdy house or drug offences. I don't agree with the position but I understand it.



The trouble is the positions don't seem the be consistent and, what's more, the inconsistency cannot be justified by claiming that the government is doing what works regardless of ideolo...

I've always liked Howard Dean. One of the few Democrats with balls, Dean has always said what was on his mind, no matter the political fallout. However, his defense of the anti-Islamists and their crusade against Cordoba House smacks of putting party interests ahead of the larger humanitarian issue.

By siding with the 68 percent of Americans who object to the Cordoba House, on the surface because of its location, Dean is being loyal to his party. He knows that Obama's stance on the centre is out-of-touch with the majority of the country. He knows this is bad for the Democrats in the mid-terms just ten weeks away. Instead, Obama is looking beyond the politics. He is do...

In my family, I have 2 sets of such examples and both sets have children who have turned out to be perfectly fine. I guess the "genes" trouble really crops up when it's a matter of first cousins marrying first cousins. The Catholic church does not give their blessing to first-cousin marriages anyway. Here's a British woman of Pakistani origins with a look at what happens when first cousins marry first cousins like the accepted norm in muslim families.



....My family is not unique. My family is not unique. In the UK more than 50 per cent of British Pakistanis marry their cousins – in Bradford that figure is 75 per cent – and across the country the practice is on the rise and also common among East African, Middle-Eastern and Bangladeshi communities.
