…And of course the ruling Liberals are now claiming that they’re simply trying to be more “inclusive”, now that their massive effort to quash this symbol of all Christianity in the parliament of Ontario has massively failed on its face. The vote in the house to preserve the Lord’s Prayer, which Liberal Premier McGuinty ditched, failing to even show his face, passed unanimously.
According to a CTV.ca article:
TORONTO — Ontario’s governing Liberals tried to say “Amen” Thursday to a thorny proposal to replace the Lord’s Prayer in the legislature … Critics called the move a calculated retreat in the face of massive public outcry to preserve a decades-long tradition.
But in typical liberal-left fashion, in order to be ever so “inclusive”, they appease all other religions by also now allowing a special second prayer following the Lord’s Prayer, representing “another faith’s activity”.
Starting Monday, the daily reading of the Lord’s Prayer will be followed by a second activity that could include another prayer, a recitation or even a moment of silence.
Speaker Steve Peters will choose from a rotating list which includes prayers reflecting aboriginal, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Baha’i and Sikh faiths, as well as a moment of silence.
Members must ask the Speaker to have other prayers added to the list, but Peters said he will hand off any requests to a standing committee – putting the decision back in the hands of elected politicians from all three parties.
Golly, nothing could possibly go wrong with that ingenious strategy.
