Modern Canada has two founding fathers: Pierre Trudeau who gave us the Charter of Rights, and Brian Mulroney, who gave us the GST and NAFTA. Trudeau is the architect of social Canada, Mulroney the architect of economic Canada.
Pierre Trudeau secularized (i.e., de-christianized) the country, and, through the Charter and its overlording judges, gave us a way to circumvent Parliament. Liberal anti-democrats worship him for this. Liberals can now achieve their "progressive" agendas without the Liberal Party being "on the hook" to the electorate. (If you don't believe this, watch what happens over the next three years with prostitution.) Just populate the courts with judges listing badly to the left, fund left-wing Charter challenges exclusively, and watch it all unfold. Control the courts; control the funding; blather about the sanctity of the Charter; it's really a pretty simple recipe -- and unattentive Canadians have swallowed it whole.
Trudeau is the father of social Canada. Politicans who talk about tolerance when they mean abortion, diversity when they mean denying a child one of his parents, or inclusion when they mean excluding Christianity from public life, are his children.
Canada's economy since Mulroney has thrived; Canada's social and moral condition since Trudeau has spiralled downward faster than anyone could have imagined. Liberals would disagree. To them, the social ascendancy of abortion, pornography, easy divorce, single-parenting, homosexuality, and swinging, represents progress towards some great goal.
Thankfully, yet regrettably because of the social cost, the great Liberal experiment with amorality bears within it the seeds of its own destruction; either Canada will turn again and feed from the Bread of Life, or it is toast. Bread, or toast -- the choice is ours.
