By the time daylight arrived and the doors had opened at the temporary registration office set up at the Legion on Wednesday, the line extended around the block. 

"This is not the way it should be," said Dr. Paul McArthur, a local doctor on the search team to attract a new physician to Walkerton. "The response that we've had shows that we have a provincial problem that is big."

The word went out last week that Dr. Mitchell Currie was seeking patients for a new family medicine practice for the town of about 5,000 in Bruce County, a three-hour drive northwest of Toronto.

I have seen dogs appeal to humans to save their puppies:

Police say a 16-year-old has been charged with murder after a newborn was found dead at a home in New Tecumseth, Ont.

Ontario Provincial Police say the teen was arrested Wednesday, almost two months after the baby was found dead.

The teen from New Tecumseth, a town between Barrie and Toronto, has been charged with first-degree murder and indignity to a body.

Police say officers found the newborn dead on the afternoon of Nov. 21 at a home in Alliston, the town’s largest community.

The case was initially being investigated as a suspicious death before it was ruled a homicide.

Police say the accused teen was set to appear before a court in Barrie on Thursday.

 

 

The rotten government and the Christmas pageant destroyers are at it again:

The federal government recently received a committee proposal to strip religious organizations, including Christian organizations, of their charitable status, a move which, if adopted, would target the very foundation of our country’s faith communities and absolutely obliterate them. The move would also affect any other religious organizations that claim charitable status, whether they be Jewish, Muslim, or any other religion. 

It must be stated clearly that this isn’t just some banal proposal — it’s a direct assault on religious freedom and the values that have built this nation, founded, as our Charter states, on principles that “recognize the supremacy of God.”

In short, if this proposal were to be adopted, the impact would simply be catastrophic: churches would close as the Canadian Revenue Agency would seize their assets; food banks run by churches — gone; shelters, addiction recovery programs, and youth ministries — shut down; Christian voices in the public square — silenced.

This is more than an issue of taxation — it’s an attack on our Canadian way of life. If we don’t oppose this now, the consequences will be irreversible. 

What exactly is this proposal, and how did it become a federal recommendation? 

Very quietly, some days before Christmas, a Finance Committee report was tabled in the House of Commons that called upon the Government of Canada to implement hundreds of recommendations in the upcoming 2025 federal budget. Alarmingly, two recommendations from the December 13 report included that the government strip religious organizations along with pro-life organizations of their charitable status.

Among the over 400 recommendations from the committee, two of them, 429 and 430, recommended respectively that the government: 

“No longer provide charitable status to anti-abortion organizations,” and that it “Amend the Income Tax Act to provide a definition of a charity which would remove the privileged status of ‘advancement of religion’ as a charitable purpose.”

The BC Humanist Association, an organization that exists to advance the goals of atheists and agnostics and which claims that one “can be good without god [sic],” took credit at the beginning of January for submitting the recommendations last July. It’s not surprising to see an anti-God organization submit the recommendations. What is surprising, however, is that a government committee included such anti-Christian proposals in its report. 

The committee included members from all the major political parties who, apparently, supported these recommendations. While the Conservative Party had a dissenting opinion in the report, it did not mention or oppose these charitable status recommendations. 

Father Raymond J. de Souza was not using rhetoric in a December 29 piece in the National Post that the proposals, if adopted, would cause the “obliteration of the charitable sector” across Canada.
