I received the following on the Family Research Council email list. We should pray for Canada and their unique situation there (not having a First Amendment):
When an unapologetically conservative talk show host in Alberta, Canada's most conservative province, posted a letter on his website, the feathers flew. Rev. Stephen Boisson's letter criticized the main aspects of the homosexual agenda in Canada. Furious, a professor at the University of Calgary filed a complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission. The petulant prof wants to shut down three websites--concernedchristians.ca, freetospeak.ca and freedomradionetwork.ca
So far, Craig Chandler, the talk show host, has faced legal costs approaching $100,000. His fees could run as high as $250,000. "The thing about a Human Rights Commission complaint is that it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, you still have to foot the bill. If I want to get our money back, I have to take them to civil court," he said. And that, Chandler points out, will only cost more money. This is another powerful example of how the left misuses government to harass Christians and suppress free speech on important public issues. Canada does not have a First Amendment. We do. But for how long?
