What is wrong with having rights of blessing when you've already said it's OK? I just don't understand that.
"The reality is we have a very divided synod over this issue and that's reflective of a very divided church," he said. "There's no doubt that many people are disappointed as a result of the vote."
"I'm just dreaming up what I'm going to say (to my congregation)," he said. "It's going to be hurtful."

Voting on Manitoba Portage-Lisgar MP Candice Hoeppner's private member's bill, C-391, Canada's parliamentarians passed this legislation by a 164 to 137 margin. And since Canada has a minority Conservative government, this victory was made possible because 21 opposition MPs (12 NDP, eight Liberal, and one Independent) voted with the Conservatives.
I am very pleased at the result of today's vote on Bill C-391," said Hoeppner. "Today members of Parliament stood up for Canadians and insisted that they would no longer support the wasteful and ineffective long-gun registry.
The Manitoba NDP MPs who voted against Hoeppner's bill were Pat Martin from Winnipeg-Centre and Judy Wasylycia-Leis from Winnipeg North. Manitoba's lone Liberal MP, Anita Neville who represents Winnipeg South Centre, als...

Myth 2: The Conservatives, New Democrats and Greens are Canada's growth parties. The Liberals are dying. Also not so. The Conservatives won 143 seats and placed second in 93 for a total of 236 seats. The Liberals won 77 and placed second in 130 for a total of 207. The NDP placed first in 37 seats and second in 59 for a total of 96. The Greens placed second in five ridings, three in Alberta, and one each in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
[John Ryan]'s analysis found that the Conservatives captured 51 of their 143 seats with less than 50 per cent of the vote -- in other words, as a result of centre-left vote-splitting. "Canada's last two elections are proof positive that we have a flawed electoral system," Ryan writes. "Does it make any sense that it's impossible to get a government that reflec...

On Wednesday, it moved ahead by a giant step as MPs voted to eliminate it. The use of a private member's bill to eliminate this extravagant and pointless piece of penitence was a good tactic, as it allowed Liberal and New Democrat MPs to participate in a free vote. At the end of the day, the result surprised almost everyone, with the bill passing by an unexpectedly large majority -- 164-137 -- in a packed House of Commons that included one swine-flu-infected Bloc Quebecois MP in a face mask who struggled in to support his party's defence of the registry.
No one should be popping champagne corks yet, however. Ms. [Candice Hoeppner]'s bill has a long way to go before logic is restored to this country's gun laws. It must first go to a parliamentary committee, where opposition parties can t...

Should the plebiscite result in a 'no' vote on a casino, you can be certain that because of the provincial condition of First Nations ownership, the aboriginal community will conclude that Brandon does not want them as a partner.
