Tomorrow night, Liberals in Thornhill will gather to raise funds for their candidate, Karen Mock.
Liberal MP and Foreign Affairs Critic Bob Rae will be attending as the “Special Guest Speaker”… but does he know what he’s getting himself into?
Karen Mock has compared the policy of schools who allow the Lord’s Prayer as comparable to apartheid in South Africa. A blast from the past that arrived in my inbox last night:
“Dr. Mock compared the Saskatoon School Board’s defence – that is has the right under the Constitution to recite the Lord’s Prayer – to that of South Africans pointing to their own legislation to justify the continuance of apartheid.”
From The National Post, July 15, 1999.
I also note that sitting MPs Carolyn Bennett, John McCallum and Maria Minna are Mock’s “committee” members supporting her. I wonder if they are all aware of her views…
Mock’s statment might be a little hyperbolic but it hardly warrants your faux outrage. She is accurate insofar as she observes that 1) legal authority to do something does not make it moral or ethical and 2) that recitation of Christian prayer in schools where many many non-Christian students attend tends to separate Christian students from non-Christian students.
But hey… if you want to run with this story go for it. Good luck with that.
Canadians are having to change their life styles and traditions to accommodate each and every ethnic group that decides to come here because it is a wonderful place to live, then they set about requiring us to change things that we have had for generations.
I think there is something wrong with this picture and attitude so please keep letting stories like this be told. MSM certainly won’t cover them.
