Canadians waiting longer to receive healthcare

Free healthcare comes with a cost, and it isn’t just the taxes we pay – when the government is the only provider, then there is no competition to push innovation or efficiencies.

As Dr. Michael Wagner explains here, Church and State should be separate. But it is a very different thing to say that the government should be separated from Christian beliefs. Of course, the Devil would like God’s truth silenced. And our godless government doesn’t want Christians shining their reflected light in the halls of Parliament. That’s what they’re after when they speak about the separation of Church and State.

However, by their own standards, they have no basis on which to shut us up. We don’t ask anyone else to abandon their beliefs when they pursue political office, so why should Christians be expected to? Everyone hates double standards (Matt. 7:2).
