Because his arm can bear the cross - The Armageddon Factor

In December 1866, when they were in London to negotiate the Act of British North America, John A. MacDonald and his revelers looking how to define what would be one of the greatest achievements of humanity (as Dion): Canada. The Premier of New Brunswick, a lovely devotee, found the solution in the Psalms (72, verse 8): "He Shall Have Dominion aussi from sea to sea and from the River To The Ends of the Earth . Thus, with this divine intervention, our country is a Dominion and its Latin motto, A mari usque ad pond.

Today, on the eve of the end of the world, various religious organizations in Canada, under the watchful eye of their U.S. counterparts, contribute to the accomplishment Psalm - because they believe our dominion will have a role to play in the Battle of Armageddon - and work to re-Christianize Canada, with the goal of becoming a theocracy. Therefore these Christian nationalists, mainly through the Conservative Party, to interfere in the political sphere to ensure that laws, regulations and programs better reflect their values and that our country fulfills its destiny.

Vigorously criticized, especially by right-wing media, The Armageddon Factor (Toronto, Random House Canada, 2010), journalist Marci McDonald, nevertheless has a large quality for the readers of the other solitude, that is to say, shed light on the rise of the religious right, the theocons in the ROC. The impact of these groups and these churches, whose numerous and frequent contacts with members of government and senior officials would drool journalists covering Parliament Hill is clearly visible: for example, the refusal of the Conservatives to fund birth control, budget cuts among agencies whose mission away from conservative values, etc.. Moreover, with rising stars such as Stockwell Day (President of the Treasury Board), which does not believe in evolution, and Jason Kenney (Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism), which removed the passage on gay rights in the guide for immigrants, it is clear that the Conservative Party takes a tangent which inevitably leads to a morality where obscurantism of some thing and becomes the law of all. Canada is on track to find its own Great Darkness.

Little Reading
Danic and Ian Parenteau Parenteau political ideologies. The left-right divide , Montreal, Presses de l'Université du Québec, 2008.

We all ask the question: Richard Martineau is it right or left? It was a trick question: it occurs in a parallel universe dominated by confusion, the confusion and hysteria. But we, poor humans, which side do we look? In their book, the brothers Parenteau débroussaillent the concept of political ideology and clarify its different variants: the liberal center and the socialist left, communism and anarchism on the extreme left, conservatism and libertarianism on the right; Fascism on the extreme right, and finally nationalism and environmentalism to suit all colors. The perfect book to explain to your cousin Teabagger that Obama can not be both communist and fascist.
