Dalton McGuinty to ban self-defence in Ontario
The same weekend that ChristianGovernance discusses gun control and how a position predicated on the Lordship of Christ requires the abolition of gun control, we see media coverage that Ontario’s paternalistic Premier, Daddy Dalton, is taking the opposite position. (Excerpts of two articles are below with links to the complete articles.) We make the case that self-defence is a much more important reason than hunting and sports shooting for decriminalizing firearm ownership. In contrast, a Saturday National Post article reports that, in a case of citizen’s arrest, the Ontario government is arguing that “a Toronto grocer’s attempt to expand citizen’s-arrest powers is akin to seeking a return to the Middle Ages when there were no police forces.”

ChristianGovernance – A new standard for Christian reformation
ChristianGovernance was in Orillia and Toronto this past Saturday. We talked about the necessity of having a worldview. Actually, that’s not quite true. It’s not a matter of necessity, it’s simply a matter of what is: all people have a worldview. The issue is whether you possess your worldview by DESIGN or by DEFAULT. We pointed out that those who DO NOT know what they believe and why over against what they do not believe and why will always be led by those who do. In other words, a leader possesses his worldview by design.
