Readers may remember that ARPA Canada was one of the signatories to the complaint (representing over a million people) to the Canadian Judicial Council that asked that Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin's role as chair of the panel that gave Morgentaler the Order of Canada be examined. Read more about that here. Today the CJC issued a letter that stated there was not misconduct on her part. Read this article, which doesn't give all the facts, from the Globe and Mail here.

 CALGARY, Sept. 22, 2008 (CHPNews) - The sixth-largest of Canada's federal political parties is going to court to ask that all registered parties be included in the television debates next month.

The Christian Heritage Party applied to be included in the Leaders' Debates Sept 11, after the Green Party had been added to the roster. The consortium of broadcasters organizing the debates turned down the CHP's request Sept. 16, giving no reason. |

News of the plan for Manitoba doctors was disclosed earlier this week in a briefing note to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO).

 On September 18 the ECP Centre hosted a fundraising dinner in Langley BC. Over 100 people were in attendance and heard excellent talks from Pastor Lodder (Cloverdale CanRC), Tristan Emmanuel (ECP Centre President), Pastor Boissoin (the recipient of an ECP Centre donation towards his legal expenses), Ron Gray (CHP leader who also received an ECP donation for the HRC case against him and the CHP), Michael Wagner (author of "Standing on Guard for Thee"), and Al Siebring (host of No Apologies radio). Doug Schouten, the western representative of the ECP Centre and a long-time ARPA leader organized the whole evening and did an excellent job. |

Update - According to the Toronto Star, the College has voted in favour of the new policy. Read more here. National Post - 2008.09.18 By Charles Lewis The regulating body for Ontario physicians has backed off a controversial proposal that would have forced doctors to put aside their religious views when dealing with patients. Protests from the Ontario Medical Association and numerous religious groups appear to have tempered the thinking of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
The new document, released yesterday, has removed provisions that would have potentially seen doctors face more misconduct charges for putting their own conscience before the convenience of patients. Keep reading here.

These questionnaires have been prepared by Chatham ARPA and Langley ARPA and may be of use for you in your riding. A questionnaire can be a very effective way to inform your local churches about where the candidates stand on issues that matter to you. Remind the candidates how many people in your riding will be reading their answers! |

With the help of a school teacher, ARPA Canada has prepared a number of lesson plans that aim to introduce important political issues to high school students. The lesson plans are meant to fit into a variety of classes, including Social Studies, Worldview Studies, Bible, and Religion. We recognize that being proactive includes reaching out to the next generation so that they are well equipped to apply their Reformed faith to the issues that our nation faces. This can be a difficult job for teachers who already have a heavy workload and a full curriculum. Our hope is that these lesson plans will make it easy and enjoyable to bring some of these important issues into the classroom. Just click on the "Education" menu above to access these lessons and other helpful resources. |
