Hey everyone, just a quick rebuttal to Freddy Fred's website, as linked on my site (Steve Lance).
Fred takes issue with my "Keep Canada Christian" mantra, saying that we need a new anthem without the word God in it. While I respect a diversity of opinion, I cannot disagree more. Canada was founded Christian and should remain as such. A HUGE majority of Canadians are Christian, and we allow citizens to worship as they see fit. It needs to end there. I cant go to India and demand that they drop Hinduism, or to Saudi Arabia and demand they abandon Islam. Why then can people demand Canada go agnostic?
It has been my experience that it is not recent immigrants or people of other faiths that want this to happen. Rather it is Canadians who are do damn afraid of offending anyone that they will forego their own heritage to make others comfortable. Why take something away from people? Its not a crime to be religious, though some Canadians feel it is. Funny how the same people that bemoan world globalization and homogenization (ie-too much Walmart, not enough Mom and Pop stores) favor doing the very same thing to religion. So if you are keeping score, diversity and the goold ol' ways are good for business, but bad for religion. If they have their way, then Western civilization will cease to exist and we will be a blank slate for other people and nations to mold. Canadians of all races and religions should embrace Canada and be Canadians, or at least American Jr's.
I'm out
Oh yeah, vote on cbc.ca for your favorite Canadian before someone mercifully pulls the plug on the Canuckistan Brainwashing Commune. I voted for Sir Arthur Currie.
End the CRTC and CanCon, Promoting Mediocrity in Canadian Television, Radio and Music for Many Years!!
