Hey, I don't know how many of you guys are Canadian, but i am and i voted monday jan, 23. My Fiance did not recieve a voters card in the mail to take to vote. With out this card you have to register.

Well, when she went to register the person told her that you don't have to swear on the bible any more...you just sign the paper...They took God strait out of the election!!

She also said, if you want you can just say "under God" in your head after you read the paper.

That's rediculous don't you think....I mean first out of the classrooms, then the constitution, and next the election....What's next, the churches?!?

I don't know too much about your political parties and candidates but it sounds like the people of Canada spoke loud and clear in this election 1dsz5h3.gif I hope the change will be a change for the better.

God Bless,

Well i don't know about "loud and clear" considering it's only a minority Govenment ....this means that the new Primeminister Stephen Harper has less than half of the vote of Canada.

the rest of the votes went to the Liberal, NDP, Block Quebecois, and the green party....

I am Canadian and all I can say is I voted and I am going to pray for our new leader. He is going to need it.

I saw the bible sitting there when I went to vote and I was happy for that.
At least the bible was visible to all. This was at least a good thing.

So far I haven't been shut up for speaking Jesus. I will continue to do so.
Maybe you will see me in jail one day, but i am not going to deny my faith
in Him.

Nice to hear from you.
God bless

A lot can be said here but I’ll focus on the swearing in part.

James 5:12
Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.

Matthew 5:33-35
"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King.

Matthew 5:36
And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black.

I basically see the whole world as Babylon so I’m not surprised to hear that God isn’t wanted in our schools or government. As a matter of fact I’m happy to see it come to pass because the scriptures tell me that these things must first take place before Christ comes.

Signs of the time...

Praise God – He told us ahead of time.

How interesting, the whole world as Babylon. You might just have something there.
I can see it too. The whole world is like Babylon. Not just one country that is for sure, but many if not all. Where is a country that is totally committed to our Lord and Saviour. Yes I see that there is only a few that are on the narrow path.

It's getting lonely here on earth. We must speak out and never be ashamed of Jesus. If we are He will be ashamed of us.

Thanks for responding K.D. I feel we are a nation very much divided on many issues. So please pray for us that God's will be done.

Harper is Pro-war what do you think about that?

I don't think an election in Canada has ever been clearer for Christians. Martin mind as well have said, "Don't vote for those evangelical crazies who do not believe in abortion and homosexuality!"

Goodbye Mr Martin!!! smile.gif tongue.gif

I like being an evangelical crazy myself. I feel safe in the Word.
I pray you guys in Canada get a good leadership!

I don't like that the liberals were for same sex marriage,
but I don't trust the conservatives either.

However Harper is in and I will pray for our leader for God
tells me to do so.

In my gut I think things are going to be tough.
You asked what do you think about Harper being pro war-
I try not to think about that fact. That was a big factor for
my dad and brother, plus the fact that they think the
conservatives will push for a two tier health care system.

We have a good health care sytem here in Canada.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the countries that have
a two tier system and how it has failed.
\

Just my thoughts and you will have to forgive me because I come
\from a staunch liberal family. So this time around it was tough.
won't tell you how I voted but I had a very tough time deciding.
My brother ran for the liberal party years ago, so you see how
the pressure is when election time comes around.

All that being said my whole family was upsest with the liberal scandals.
Not too many honest politicians out there. Doesn't mean we have
one in office now either.

After Mulroney, I said I would never vote conservative again. But times have changed. Maybe we can rescind the same sex marriage and abortion laws and the GST etc. Maybe we can claw back the huge pensions the MPs get. Maybe we can have Christian TV instead of Playboy. Maybe there will be no more adscams etc...why don't I believe any of this?

I am praying for that Mazinaw all the things you said. Amen to that.
Well I am hoping and praying-how about you and I run for office Mazinaw.

I want change sooooooo much,but I don't always get what I want.
I am going to pray for our new leader. I won't say anything bad about him
until he is not any longer in power. laugh.gif How does that sound.

I sure want to give him a chance. Okay times up-is the same sex marriage
gone yet Mr. Harper-how about the abortion law. Okay I will try to have
patience. biggrin.gif

Just being silly. That purple character gets me going laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

But in all seriousness, we need to change. I want to go back and live in the
50's. Wait a minute I only had one year in the 50's but from what my dad
told me it was a much simpler time. So was the 60's Sure it was simple for
me then I was a kid.
