The perversion of equality

Couple seek legal option to replace Mr. and Mrs.
We are ‘equals’
A heterosexual British couple is challenging the law on civil partnerships after an application was turned down. At present, only gay couples are eligible. Ian Goggin, 21, and Kristin Skarsholt, 22, who are Quakers and live in Bristol, western England, said they wanted the security and stability of a legal commitment without having to get married, the BBC reported. They are among eight couples – four heterosexual, four gay – taking their case to the courts, arguing the law is discriminatory.
The humanist spirit of affirmative action in Canada’s Parliament
ChristianGovernance – October 27, 2010
The humanist spirit of affirmative action is alive and well in Canada’s Parliament
By John Newnham
As we’ve noted before, affirmative action, group rights and parity of action are vehicles for the implementation of socialism or state-ism at the expense of our Judeo-Christian tradition of liberty and equity.
Diane Francis on the importance of competition in schooling
Financial Post columnist Diane Francis, in her latest column, commends a film which exposes the incompetence of American government schools. It’s called “Waiting for Superman,” and she saw it at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Ms. Francis seems fearful of being explicit about the lesson in the film, that competition is essential to good quality in the education as it is elsewhere in the marketplace.
Inequality before the law in Manitoba
One of the most dangerous steps in the direction from the Christian order of liberty and equity towards Humanism’s tyranny has already been embraced by most Canadians, by default if not by design, and it`s illustrated by a story out of Manitoba as recorded below. Most of what we believe is by default rather than design because most people do not know what they believe and why over against what they do not believe and why. To reach such a place takes a great deal of hard work. This step in the direction of tyranny that has become tolerated in Canada is the abandonment of the principle of equality before the law. Sure, Canadians today, including our politicians and judges, continue to verbalize a commitment to equality before the law. It’s easy to say the words. It’s much harder to have real substance behind those words. Most Canadians today, when they talk about equality before the law actually use this rhetoric to advance an explicitly unequal agenda, the agenda of affirmative action.
Lobbying vs. equality before the law
If Canadians don’t understand how the following account violates the principle of equality before the law, this is evidence of how difficult it is to see offences when you live in the midst of them. It is also a challenge to Christians to become immersed in the Bible and Biblical worldview teaching in order to be able to understand and criticize our culture effectively and responsibly.
Ontario libertarians at centre of property rights fight
I was as shocked as any other respectable Canadian when I saw the reports about the illegal bureaucratic swarming against the rural Ontario Jaworski family.
Oh, wait a second. It wasn’t illegal. The kind of behaviour that makes bureaucrats indistinguishable from mob enforcers is increasingly legal in Ontario… and this country.
