I often point out how little we as Christians and social conservatives are respected in Canadian society. It’s as if we are not even citizens and our points of view are so hideous it is taken for granted we deserve to be crushed whenever we articulate our crazy ideas.
It is true we are a minority in Canada but then again we live under a regime that spends a good portion of its energy and our tax dollars propping up all kinds of minorities far smaller than ours.
