Canadian Charter
PART I
CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:
She is a mighty uphill battle to change the very first sentence.

Re: Canadian Charter
Ah but which god/s?...
Apparently, it is the god of entitlement and high taxes.
... perhaps we should ship all the fundamentalists that want to live in a "christian nation" up there ...
Please don't...or if you do, send them to Alberta.

Forcing disclosure
I thought this was interesting. Not so much the questions that Keller asks but just the idea of expecting candidates for public office to defend their religious beliefs.
Keller’s column, Asking Candidates Tougher Questions About Faith, argues that the crop of candidates competing for the White
House next year should be grilled on their religious beliefs and on how those beliefs inform their political views.

Here is the original. It may require a password.
I would say that the public has a right to know if a candidate believes that armageddon is just around the corner. I can't see what all the implications would be but I'll bet there would be alot of them.
