You can’t have it both ways Karol.
If you object to the executive of Ottawa Youth Services Bureau, have you contacted them?

This Mr. Munter?

Define homosexual activist.
Define qualifications.

How come you did not mention the fact that city of Ottawa spends 22 million a year of taxpayers money to actively promote homosexuality among youth at risk in that city??
Ottawa Youth Services Bureau is headed by homosexual activist Alex Munter who was hired for a position of Executive Director of YSB despite of the fact that he does not have any qualification for that job.

It seems to me that it is OK with lefties when sexual perverts get the jobs and taxpayers money to teach Canadain youth fine points of faggotry but it is not OK if Catholics get taxpayers money to teach Canadian kids basics of Christian morality.

This is just a minor tip-of-the-iceberg moment.

I’ve seen a lot of funding for the YMCA. Do they count as a religious group? And what about cancellations of funding at a time when arts and community groups need them most?

What irks me most is the massive array of political appointments that are being handed out like silver dollars at a bicentennial parade. Stephen Harper is poisoning the well of public service for decades to come.

“Ancaster was the home of David Mainse”….”Catholic Youth Organization”….”Good Sheppard Venture Centre….is Catholic”

How awful, how dare the government help out anything affiliated with Catholicism. A school in Ancaster gets help in with athletic facilities, terrible, Mainse used to live near by, must be a connection.

McCarthyism alive and well with the hard left.

“I’ve asked for a list of all those people that came here to do presentations against [the funding proposal] and I said I’d really appreciate their name, their role, their contact and I would love myself to initiate some dialogue with them to see where … we can talk together and partner and learn,” Courtney said on the heels of the controversial decision.

(CBC article linked in post)

Can we spell intimidation?
If YFC is that out of touch they need a list, this is not going to go well.
YFC has been recognized as a charity in Winnipeg since 1981 and he doesn’t know who has been expressing concern?

He adds comparison to residental schools is not fair because ‘what happened there wasn’t Christian’.

The people running the residental schools thought they were Christian and what they were doing was Christian and in mandate with their ‘Christian worldview.’
Mr. Courtney comes across communicating that what others feel, think, experienced, know, believe, need, are about him.

This is not going to go well.

Redeemer College is in Ancaster Ontario. The MP for the area is David Sweet. David Sweet was the leader in Canada of Promise Keepers. Almost every citation about his involvement in PK have been scrubbed off the internet

Ancaster was the home of David Mainse until he and his wife relocated to eastern Ontario.

“(I’ve written Redeemer College to ask how many community groups have applied or been able to play on the field)”

You might also ask if it can be rented out for any events during Pride Week or for outdoor weddings.
