Michael Coren Live

I was a panellist on Michael Coren Live today -- and I'll be in his studio next week to talk about Shakedown.

One of today's topics was the anti-Christian bigotry displayed by the Globe and Mail and CBC in their hunt against Gary Goodyear, a Conservative cabinet minister. In a sentence, they tried to ask Goodyear, a Christian, about his personal views on evolution, and he rightly declined to take the bait. This refusal to discuss his oersonal beliefs was deemed unacceptable by the zealots at the Globe and CBC. Of course, had Goodyear decided to in fact discuss his religious beliefs, that too would have been unacceptable to them. In other words, Goodyear, like all Christians (and by Christians, I mean those who actually believe in the New Testament, not those who just go to church for weddings and funerals) is not welcome in the public square.

To be clear, Goodyear has not been accused of steering his cabinet duties in accordance with a particular religious belief. He has been an exemplary minister. But his fitness for public service is being questioned merely because of his private religious views. Disgusting.

The Globe and CBC would never pull that stunt with, say, Gurbax Malhi, a Sikh MP, or Irwin Cotler, a Jewish MP. They wouldn't accuse them of hijacking government for their faith; they wouldn't accuse them of hidden loyalties. But anti-Christian bigotry is the last acceptable bigotry.
