Re Speaking Up When it Matters Most, January

Plaudits to editor David Harris for speaking up against the failure of church leaders to speak up. Not only have they been mute on the fallacies and follies of the so-called ?tough on crime? bill and related social issues, but they have not yet had anything to say about the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement either. They’ve been silent on the unbalanced, and probably biased, rant by Minister Joe Oliver against foreign support for environmental groups, which ignores foreign involvement in major oil companies; and I’ve yet to hear criticism of the dubious and certainly debatable assertion that our industrial activities cause global warming. The list goes on and I, for one, wonder why.
