Here’s a great web site of interest to people who love Canada and its traditional social foundations like, you know, “traditional families”—which literally built this country: DefendMarriage.ca. I just sent them a donation on behalf of ProudToBeCanadian.ca to help, so that they can help stop the liberal-left from tearing apart families and imposing their liberalist world view on us in this otherwise fantastic country of
ours
.
It’s an excellent site but here’s a juicy kicker they throw in for us in the sensible set: Joe Volpe, the new minister of citizenship and immigration, is caught on tape supporting traditional marriage—before the election. Now, of course, after he was elected, he says he supports gay ‘marriage’. He duped his constituents! The DefendMarriage.ca folks set up a special fun little page just for the seemingly lying Joseph Volpe, called www.josephvolpe.com which has a big link button to the video. There are links to the DefendMarriage.ca site from there too.
Volpe replaced former Liberal cabinet minister Judy Sgro, who quit her immigration post after she became involved in an alleged immigration scam in which she allegedly promised to help refugee claimants get into Canada in return for their help in her election campaign. She was also involved in an alleged scandal to import nude dancers into Canada to help pump-up Canada’s (apparently) ailing pornography market that the liberal-left so adore.
The Vancouver Sun reports (subscription-only):
The Defend Marriage Coalition alleges these and other elected officials have misled voters about their position on the inflammatory same-sex debate.
Volpe, minister of citizenship and immigration, said Friday he supports the government’s same-sex legislation.
The Volpe video was made during a service Aug. 8, 2003, in a campaign-style speech at Canada Christian College, a private religious school just north of Toronto. “If we believe in something then we must promote it. If we believe in something then we must defend it,” Volpe tells the congregants.
“(A court) decided that the definition (of marriage) should be changed, wrongly in my view,” he says. “I need to have your support to ensure that that error does not continue.”
He also urged them to defend their position—“We are nothing if we don’t hear your voice,” he said—which is what the group said it is doing.
“The videotape rolls right across the country when politicians speak,” said Charles McVety, president of Canada Christian College in Toronto. “There’s a plethora of videotape of politicians making promises and as soon as they get elected they do the very opposite”
Rev. Benjamin Mapa, who attended the 2003 church service, said Volpe was on the campaign trail when he made his remarks and was invited to speak specifically because of his opposition to the same-sex marriage movement.
“It’s disappointing,” Mapa told CanWest Friday from Toronto. “You give them the support and all of a sudden they have betrayed you.” […]
The Defend Marriage Coalition promises that this is only the first strike in a campaign that will also target other power-wielding elected officials, including Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan, Natural Resources Minister John Efford and Thunder Bay, Ont., MP Joe Comuzzi. I’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Conservatives are fantastic.
