Canadian conservatism needs relationship rescue: "How's that working for ya?" Canadian conservative agenda?

[Enter Stage Right] 14 Apr 2007--"The Archbishop of Canterbury is visiting Canada from Monday. The public agenda there is a few pages further on than in the UK. And this article was written in 2003." Originally posted on the Anglican Mainstream web site.

Supposed 'homophobic' comments made by Canadian Alliance Member of Parliament, Larry Spencer, have created a rip-roaring brouhaha in the Great White North.

In a tightly-controlled, politically correct Canadian media that is devoid of alternative opinion, Spencer has been forced to walk the plank, for daring to speak the "c" word that durst not be spoken. National Post columnist Colby Cosh almost gave a stunning defence of Spencer explaining the proclivities of a poor doddering "older mind" unable to keep up with the times. Out of a plethora of editorials condemning Spencer, for his beliefs, only two editorials I found have taken the time to examine the content of Spencer's reported comments, showing the "poor old guy" to be not entirely dotty (Gunter, Warren).

I am uncomfortable with the word "conspiracy" (coincidences do occur sometimes). And being a "nice" Canadian I am even a little squeamish with "agenda" although the word is often used to describe the aspirations of the homosexual community in American conservative circles.

But even if you dislike the "c" word or even the more commonly used "gay agenda" phraseology, since pirouetting Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau legalized sodomy in 1969, a scant 34 years ago -- no one can deny the homosexual movement has come a long way. Contrary to the collectivist horde of social-Liberal pundits, no matter how you express it, I think homosexual activists actually plan to advance their goals and more often than not they are victorious in their agenda.
