QUOTE (Camac @ 06-Mar-2008, 09:56 AM)
The Canadian Constitution like all good Constitutions guarantees the separation of Church and State, which is as it should be. For almost 140 years the Parliament of Ontario has opened with the reciting of the Lords Prayer and now there is a proposal to abolish this practice. I for one think this has been long overdue. Our Parliament is made up of many different ethnic and religious groups and it is only right that no one group or religious belief be put ahead of any other. This has of course spawned the proverbial tempest with the Religious Right leading the charge.
The Evangelicals use the old stale argument that the "Founders" of the Nation did so under God. Well I beg to differ. The first Europeans here were Vikings and they were just looking for land to farm. They didn't last to long. The next to show up were the Basque fishermen catching Cod followed by the French looking for Gold. They found little gold but they did find something just as good if not better. BEAVER. Then along comes "The Company of Gentlemen Explorers" That of course is the English original name for the Hudsons Bay Company. Religion was the caboose that was dragged along by the settlers. Canada like the rest of the New World was founded by businessmen looking to turn a profit so lets put and end to this hypocrisy about being founded under God. .

PS: I doubt that the so called founders consulted with Manitou.


Camac.

Going back to the original post on the CANADIAN constitution, I totally agree with the lords prayer being abolished from Parliament. I am a true believer that what my personal preference is to which religion I practice, is none of anyone's business. No matter who founded my country. Although I thank them for doing so. They may have done so under their god. Still doesn't mean that I have to say a prayer because of that.

My nana's last name was Allan. I didn't realize that it was just a variation of Allen. Or of course the others. Yet I do know that she is from the clan Ranald, now MacDonald.
So maybe it was by a marriage way back when that she got that last name.

I don't mind it. There really isn't anything I need to do online that requires broadband and if I can't see a site because they have made it for broadband users then they don't really want the business of us that are in rural areas.
I truly hope I win just one. I love this music and don't have any stations here that play it. Not even on my satellite! I have emailled them so one never knows, they may make a new station for us lovers of Celtic!

Thanks everyone!

Okay so it doesn't matter where I post, just that I post lol. Unfortunately I can't listen to the station. Us people in the country can't get high speed. I also don't want to pay for that as it is too much money for something I rarely use.
I will look at the founders club.
Thanks again everyone and I hope to have a great time here I am sure of it.
