[Buddha-l] Canada cancels non-Christian prison chaplaincies

[Margaret Gouin]

Harper (the Canadian Prime Minister) is a member of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a fundamentalist evangelical church. I doubt if he has much use for Anglicans. This message has no Buddhist content (sorry).

What Canada has is a Conservative government that believes that if the Anglican Church was good enough for Jesus and is still good enough for the Queen, it's good enough for Canadian felons. It also has a government that thinks that environmentalists and First Nations tribal elders are foreign agitators, while CEOs of British, Dutch and American oil and gas companies are guarding "the True North strong and free."
