Globe & Mail, July 22 2010: The Conservatives say race and ethnicity shouldn't enter into the hiring process for federal jobs and have ordered a review of affirmative action policies. They want to look at government hiring practices, which currently give priority to qualified applicants from minority groups.

New Democrat MP Pat Martin called the move a “full-frontal attack on affirmative action.” Visible minorities, including aboriginals, have long been underrepresented in the public service. Treasury Board President Stockwell Day said no Canadian should be barred from a federal job because of race or ethnicity. “While we support diversity in the public service, we want to ensure that no Canadian is barred from opportunities in the public service based on race or ethnicity,” Mr. Day said in a statement.

ARPA Note: Please take the time to send in letters to the editor, as this story is appearing in more papers across the country. ARPA Canada submitted a letter to the Vancouver Sun, arguing that when preference becomes the standard, rather than biology or adoption, it is impossible to draw a line.

Steve Burri's two daughters are always outnumbered when it comes to arguing with their parents. That's because Jazz, 17, and Zea, 7, have two moms and a dad, something the B.C. government has said it may legally recognize as one of many proposed reforms to B.C.'s Family Relations Act. Under the current law, the government will not recognize all partners in a three-parent relationship as equal guardians of a child -- only the two biological parents. Under the new proposal, however, the law could recognize same-sex couples and the biological mother or father of their child as equal parents if all three parties set out that wish in writing before the birth of their child.

NoApologies.ca – July 16 2010 - By Neil Dykstra:  The skin color of our new governor general, David Johnston, matters very little to me. Neither did it matter from what race or nationality our previous two Governor-Generals hailed, Adrienne Clarkson and Michaelle Jean. The central question to their appointment was simple – can they do the job? Can they, as head of state, represent Canada on the world stage? Can they present national awards, politicized as they are, to deserving individuals? And can they steer Canada through a constitutional crisis if called upon?

The examples that Churck Colson gives may be American, but the message is just as relevant to Canada. In this video, reference is made to a study called Kudzu Government. We highly recommend that you check it out (click here) and consider printing off a copy. It will be a great resource to go through personally, as a family, or a Bible Study.
