While snows deepen on northern fields and our now-unnavigable rivers still course slowly toward the sea, the sea of red ink continues to rise in Ottawa. Our Finance Minister, though, has a jolly way of expounding on how much worse it could have been if Canada had not—with a grim determination and an eye to a prosperous future—faced the economic vicissitudes of recent years with the pragmatic and “flexible” response of borrowing billions of dollars.

Dear Friend of ChristianGovernance,
We are quickly approaching the end of another year, so some of us are looking back at 2012 to see what we’ve accomplished – and probably some of what we didn’t accomplish that we had hoped to do. You can keep the 2nd list short by not having any expectations, but that doesn’t work well for ambitious people. “Fail forward” is a popular saying – if you fail, learn from your mistakes, get up and keep going.

We are asking you to pray. If you have read a copy of our booklet, “The Biblical Legacy of Canada’s Parliament Buildings,” you will know that a clear Gospel message can be seen in the selection of Scriptures that are found primarily on the Tower of Peace and Victory (the Peace Tower). We bring out that message in the course of discussing the Scriptures and some Canadian history in this booklet.
